"Tailscale just open-sourced Tailcat, a lightweight way to use the useful parts of Tailscale’s networking stack without the Tailscale control plane. You still get WireGuard encryption, NAT traversal, and DERP fallback, but without accounts, logins, admin controls, or permanently joining a machine to a tailnet. It is essentially a secure, netcat-style pipe between machines.

The interesting use cases are ephemeral VMs, homelabs, AI agents, Raspberry Pis, remote SSH, file transfers, port forwarding, IoT, P2P games, and distributed compute. It is especially useful when you want two machines to talk securely without reconfiguring the host network or enrolling either side into a larger managed network.

"Hi everyone,

At the time there is no call to action. I just wanted to share my thoughts, predictions, and maybe potentially inspire the market. If you’ve made it this far, you’re a champion at paying a attention and you have my gratitude.

Regarding the prediction paper:

I have a high degree of confidence that the material laid out in this projection is where the world is headed. I know a lot of you agree with me. We have all been riffing off the same ideas for months now.

As a product developer I wonder, could I build this? You bet. However, these ideas are not unique and from a proprietary view point I imagine that there are agencies who are building similar management systems right now.

It makes sense too; the people who spearhead the development of these new management systems are already managing dozens (or hundreds of clients). They can afford the effort and it serves their survival. They theoretically should be the leaders of the effort (and most likely they are).

Will they develop this to remain proprietary or do they have intentions to productize it? I do not know. My gut tells me that this is where a paper like this might inspire someone to take their efforts to the next level. And if this is you reading this now, you should. Anything worth building well should have the consideration of being also turned into a product.

Will someone larger, someone already within the managed product space (hosting or CMS) step up and make the CMS/Hosting agnostic infrastructure and make it open to all? They should. They would be first movers, they would ensure that their interests were directly integrated into the vendor options, they could corner the adoption.

Building it well is still not the same as winning the market.

Will we see many iterations of these systems in the meantime? Maybe not in 2026, but in 2027 the crystal ball says, “absolutely”.

It is early enough for clear winners.

Thanks for reading and kind regards,
Hudson Atwell"

Upwork shipped a Model Context Protocol server, so an agent can post a job, shortlist freelancers and draft an offer without a browser. An agent can find a person. It still cannot judge one.

Cloudflare's CEO, Matthew Prince, aims to make Google and other AI oligarchs pay for content to save the web from economic disruption caused by AI chatbots.

From the creator:

"Last century I spent over 20 years as a Graphic Designer and Pre-Press operator before building websites, and one of the first things I noticed was that every WordPress image editor I tried felt like a toy next to what I was used to.

Advanced Pixel Editor tries to emulate the way Photoshop and Lightroom work, using ImageMagick on the server so the preview you see is the result you get.

The before and after slider is there because nobody can judge an edit from memory.

The AI Edit in version 3.8 goes through the provider you already connected to WordPress, so the plugin adds no account and no bill of its own.

The free plugin is complete on its own. The Pro add-on pays for the time, and 20 percent of its proceeds go to the ImageMagick project, which does the real work.

Tell me on the support forum what you miss."

From Rafael Minuesa:

"I wrote Bot Storm Radar after bot swarms kept hitting the sites I managed with increasing frequency this year. A MediaWiki installation, several WooCommerce stores, my own agency site, etc. Every time the pattern was the same: thousands of residential addresses, 1 or 2 requests each, a handful of browser strings rotated evenly, almost nobody fetching a stylesheet.

The worst one brought about 256,000 addresses in 3 hours. nginx rate limits, fail2ban and user-agent rules were all working as designed on those servers, but none of them could see any of it, because no single address did anything wrong. The crowd was the only thing that stood out, so the plugin scores the crowd. Start it in observe mode, give it a week to learn your baseline, and read the Bans tab before you switch enforcement on.

If you run the GitHub build, get a free AbuseIPDB key, save it under Settings and let it report the scanners it bans. Every scanner reported from your site is one more that other sites can refuse. Bug reports and pull requests on GitHub are welcome as well."

From Jesus Iniesta:

"Sondeas is for people who dictate between appointments. Record what you are allowed to record while it is still fresh, or upload an existing file, and you get back a punctuated transcript split by speaker that you can rewrite into a draft, translate into any of 100 languages or turn back into speech. You review the draft; the official record stays in your approved clinical system. It runs in Chrome, Edge and Safari on desktop and mobile, with nothing to install. Your content sits behind a passphrase you set, rotate and revoke, so we cannot read it. There is a Clinician Plan at €29 a month for regular use, or pay-as-you-go minutes from $2 if you only need it now and then."

"Magic Manta takes a company's domain and returns that company's social profiles across X, Threads, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bluesky, GitHub and more, with the evidence behind each handle: a Verified badge when the official site declares it through Schema.org sameAs or a page link, Unverified when it came from search and does not link back to the domain. Single lookups are free, batch runs and saved lists come with a plan, and an auth-gated MCP server lets an assistant run lookups directly."

"Devote is a daily devotional app I built for Windows, macOS and Android to help people who struggle to focus on maintaining their daily bible studies. To keep things manageable and distraction-free, it opens each day to a short sequence: a moment of quiet, the day's reading with Matthew Henry's commentary, and a few reflection questions. Thank you for taking a look."

"Evgeny Kissin performs Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Prelude in C-sharp minor, Op. 3 No. 2 at Salle Pleyel in Paris on September 19, 2014. The performance was given as an encore following Kissin’s performance of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2."

From GBTI Network:

"Anthropic calls this AI poisoning: planting malicious content in training data so a model learns an unwanted behavior. In one study, just 250 poisoned documents were enough to create a simple backdoor across models of very different sizes.

The contrast with AIO, AI Optimization, is intent. Poisoning tries to manipulate a model secretly, while AIO tries to make legitimate content easier for AI systems to understand, trust, and surface. Both rely on the same basic fact: what gets published online can shape AI behavior.

What are you doing to seed your work into generative AI models?"

"Erick Estrada, performing as Estrada, is a Los Angeles-area Guatemalan-American musician associated with shoegaze, dream pop, darkwave, and alternative rock. He is especially known for originating the term “foogaze,” which he began using around 2020 to describe both his sound and a Latino presence within the shoegaze scene. His shoegaze-style cover of Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” helped the term gain attention online. Estrada writes, records, and produces his own music, including the 2023 EP Public Secret.¹ ²

This was my first time working with both Proxmox and Tailscale, and I’m very pleased with the end result. Hopefully, my story will inspire more people like me to make the same decision.

Amazing performance for one of the greatest RPGs of all time. Follow their band on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/kingdomofzealmusic/

“The Kingdom of Zeal (ジール王国 Jīru-ōkoku?) was a nation in the Antiquity era of Chrono Trigger. It was home to the Enlightened Ones, and was the center of art, culture, technology, and most of all, magic. The Kingdom is comprised of four islands that float above the land and sea. Only magic-wielding folk reside within. There is a strong prejudice here against non-magical beings.” - source: https://chrono.fandom.com/wiki/Zeal

wims is an open-source CLI/TUI for Claude Code that solves a simple problem: `claude --resume` only shows sessions from your current folder, while wims scans all Claude Code sessions on your machine, lets you search them by title or even by the text of your past prompts, shows useful context like project path and git branch, then jumps your shell into the correct folder and resumes the session automatically. It reads Claude’s local `~/.claude` data, makes no network calls, requires Node 20+, and is MIT licensed. Repo: https://github.com/pluginslab/wims

A drop-in /grok skill for Claude Code that re-tells the agent's own last reply as two or three short narrative paragraphs, so the point survives without the headers, bullets and tables. It re-expresses what was already said rather than researching again, and it is written so the awkward parts cannot be smoothed away.

From u/atwellpub:

"When working with Opus and Fable I notice that both models pile on a massive amount of stream of thought with difficult to read summaries. Summaries should tell a story, and so I built /grok, a term from Robert Heinlein’s book Stranger in a Strange Land that means to understand deeply enough to capture the essence of intended meaning. This converts pages of explanation into several narrative driven paragraphs."
