Last year I released my version of this: https://pxehost.com

Pxehost is much less featureful than Bootimus, no dashboard, and only supports netboot.xyz.

I am curious how Bootimus got udp broadcast to work via Docker on arm macOS. I could not figure that out and it’s why I released pxehost as a cross platform binary.

We need a good ISO to set up new hosts to run firecracker VMs in k3s. That would be a killer homelab tool. Tooling to make custom ISOs. And some Kairos/Talos immutable image update style tooling would be great too.

The dream is to boot via PXE once per host to setup secure k8s nodes, using just Ethernet cord, ISP router, and a windows laptop or an iPhone.

What’s your process? My experience matches yours, but then again I usually just give a few lines to codex. I imagine if I tried harder to give detailed specs as input, the agent would have a lot more room to spot flaws and kill the plan.

Could you or someone working on this make it easier to share the original link for a small web post? It’s difficult to the point of making me think you’re trying to force me to share the Kagi version of the url.

There’s probably some new mechanics in there since years ago which would give some more fun.

Yep, the game has a fun offline idle mechanic as well as just leaving it running. However you should rarely need idle, if ever.

This is a fantastic game, I’ve played many hours of it. If you want a programming based video game this could be really fun for you.

Some more info from the link:

> MCP Bundles (.mcpb) are zip archives containing a local MCP server and a manifest.json that describes the server and its capabilities. The format is spiritually similar to Chrome extensions (.crx) or VS Code extensions (.vsix), enabling end users to install local MCP servers with a single click.

There’s also section 174, which happened to end in 2022.

Which semantic element(s) would you use to build the example from the Tailwind website?

That site is a portal back to 2011, wow. Thanks for sharing.

I've found myself using AI rhetorical styles. Mostly in PRs. The whole "not just X, Y" pattern hooked into my brain.

What research? Where is it published?

I can't help but think that curl is, by nature, a relatively simple and well-contained tool. Compare to an operating system or web browser or database or billion dollar company codebase.

It makes some sense that Mythos/ChatGPT 5.5 might be that much better with complexities that curl just doesn't have because it's a basic tool.

Like yeah curl is obviously extremely fully featured as an "anything client" but it's orders of magnitude less complex than other software we rely on.

It’s fascinating that already had a system which could identify the exploit at runtime. How can I learn more about that?

This is a scam. Bootstrapping k3s is extremely easy. This tool lies to you giving you the impression that it's difficult or that you need a script, and tries to sell you monthly pro subscription, the features of which are also completely trivial.

The algorithm description was a bit confusing for me.

The SIMD part is just in the last step, where it uses SIMD to search the last 16 elements.

The Quad part is that it checks 3 points to create 4 paths, but also it's searching for the right block, not just the right key.

The details are a bit interesting. The author chooses to use the last element in each block for the quad search. I'm curious how the algorithm would change if you used the first element in each block instead, or even an arbitrary element.

Is it wise to understand everything that AI does for you?

Let’s say a person has 10 units of learning per week. Is the author actually claiming that that person must not deliver any results beyond their 10 units?

It makes some sense to have say 20 units of results and prioritize which ones to fully comprehend.

I suspect APIs / libraries / languages / platforms will have more churn due to AI. New platform new system need to learn. Once every 5 years might become every year or even more frequent. That would be a sort of inflation of knowledge and skills. It would affect the decision making about how to spend one’s 10 units per week.
