Intro In the previous post, I was talking about claude skills. This is about automation, no code/ minimal solutions. At this point, it’s been over 1.5 to 2 years since n8n and automation; nowadays it’s easy to just build an app/ ask AI to build the app instead of creating the automation, it’s easier that way, but regardless, let’s see how the future goes; I’m already seeing the trend of creating custom apps for each one’s personal preference.

Welcome to 2026, I once thought what it’s gonna look like when it’s 2024..2026.. when I was in 2017..2018. A lot has changed, I wouldn’t have even predicted the things that happened. Sideloading Before I used to say you can’t sideload in iOS/Apple phones without jailbreaking. In a way that was dumb, because when you think about it.. iPhone apps have to be developed..obviously they can be tested on a physical device.

Intro I’ve been mentioning these things in my previous posts. I don’t use AI to write these, but I use them as a way to fix spelling and grammar mistakes. There is also another way that I use these tools for, and that is for local workflows. Local workflows help writing automation scripts in natural language; you don’t have to write code and handle edge cases to cover it. Give an example and it will take it over.

Intro For my projects, I use reset.css and a set of utility classes without external libraries. (which I learnt from my prev company, I learnt a lot from there, when I joined a big company.. it was not the same, enterprise wise its different yea..sure but it has its pros and cons), I move them from project to project. This eliminates it and makes it easier to maintain and view the docs.

Quote I liked from Asahi Linux I’ve read the quote, in an open source AI contribution page, exact word for word, quote https://asahilinux.org/docs/project/policies/slop/#its-just-matmul “It is very easy to get caught up in the hype that bad actors have built around Slop Generators. The anthropomorphic presentation of Slop Generators as “agents” or “assistants” is a very deliberate attempt to manufacture consent for their integration into workforces at the expense of human interaction.

Why I Need a better downloader that is on a server somewhere, it should have segmented downloads, It can have mutliple connections to a single download file that can maximize download speeds, The second problem to solve is that the media server if something has to be downloaded and watched, it has to be a torrent file, if its a direct file, the server, currently I have to login to a server and download with wget or aria2 via terminal.

Intro I’ve been having a dilemma, I don’t want to pay open ai the monthly 20$ subscription, but I want to use the latest and greatest model on some of the problems I have to reduce time. How can I achieve this? I’ve already mentioned in a previous writing last year.. that I use open api keys. I started using mobile and desktop clients with just the api keys. Couple months ago OpenAI also reduced the pricing of o3 model by 80%, I’ve been using the ai very actively, trying to burn my credits as soon as possible.

Intro I have a project that I wrote 7 years ago, its still running on firebase.. no hickups (I had to occusionally update to a new node lts environment).. but it still worsks, at the time of writing/ implementing, ratelimiter was not implemented, So everyonce in a while I see the request logs and I see some IPs hitting the server with 1000s of requests, judging from the rquest.. its easy to distinguish them as bots and scanners.
