Nice! A while back I had started something similar for Azure but it never really got traction (or nearly as polished as this!). It's a rough proof of concept but maybe it'll be useful to Azure users:

Past work in the area by the folks at Immunant (https://immunant.com/) that appears to be on-going https://github.com/immunant/c2rust. I think the project was also DARPA funded for a time.

I got a panicked call from my parents when Facebook deleted my brother's profile, probably 5 or 6 years after he passed away. After looking into just trying to get the profile restored, I came to the same conclusion as the title essentially. The "memories" feature frequently shuffled posts and pictures of him and had become a comfort for them. They bring it up every now and then, maybe some day I'll find a way to sort it out.

I've been off work for two weeks to recover from surgery, and have been playing with a couple projects throughout the day between rest and physical therapy:

- A home-rolled router/firewall: Using yocto to create a distribution for a router/firewall for my home network. It started as an exercise in wanting to have more control over the security of my home network, as well as see how nice of a UI/UX I can tease out of an LLM. It's also part of a (seemingly never ending) consolidation of homelab services.

- A SNES Reverse Engineering setup: A nephew of mine is starting to get into video games and is starting with a SNES but his system broke. I'm working on helping repair the console, but am also trying to set up an effective "LLM + Ghidra + SNES emulator + image generation AI + asperite plugin" to allow him to swap sprites and text in games to add some creativity and learning to the experience.

- A personal assistant system: Experimenting with agents to create a personal assistant for our house, and seeing to what extent the agents can be helpful and how much hardware is required to run something like that in-house.

- aztui: A TUI for exploring and interacting with Azure resources. I'd like to add some caching/pre-fetching logic to make the interaction with the interface snappier (one of the main motivators to create it).

I've been using GPT pretty heavily throughout, and it has been a lot of fun both using it, and spending some dedicated time looking at the models themselves along with the frameworks that support running and integrating them.

Yeah it's a building block for understanding number theory well, which is important in cryptography.
