I have my own CLI parser - a fork of the old kingpin - and over time its evolved to have deep runtime introspection among other unique features.
Here using that to generate web based help viewers and I think this is a pretty sweet idea, will have to think how to incorporate this into my doc sites.

I remembered yesterday that I had already known and implemented a few things I needed to analyze Intel ME Gen 2 binaries.
The load address is in the metada that `intel_fw me show` prints.
Modules can be unpacked and decompressed via unhuffme, which puts the load address in the file name. I will add the Huffman decompression feature to intel_fw, too.
So with the load address and the Ghidra fork, I now get sensible decompiled code and references, e.g. I can see where strings a…

@… After all, that is why just about every FOSS license allows you to fork and develop onwards on your own.
It’s okay to just use my project as a stepping stone towards the project *you* want, without expecting me to get involved.
Feels like a lot of folks out there don’t consider that option for whatever reason.

If I had all of the time in the world, I'd fork Frigate NVR, set it up to offload all of the processing and video storage to a server in Atlantic Canada, and call it Frig It NVR.

Doubly sadly: mostly only maritimers and Trailer Park Boys fans would even find it funny. But I sure would.

Agent libOS: A Library-OS-Inspired Runtime for Long-Running, Capability-Controlled LLM Agents
Yingqi Zhang
https://arxiv.org/abs/2606.03895 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2606.03895 https://arxiv.org/html/2606.03895
arXiv:2606.03895v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents are evolving from request-response assistants into long-running software actors: they maintain state across model calls, fork subtasks, wait for external events, request human authority, generate tools, and perform side effects that must be resumed and audited. This paper presents Agent libOS, a library-OS-inspired runtime substrate for LLM agents. Agent libOS runs above a conventional host operating system; it does not implement hardware drivers, kernel-mode isolation, or a POSIX-compatible operating system. Instead, it treats an agent as an AgentProcess: a schedulable execution subject with process identity, parent-child lineage, lifecycle state, a tool table derived from an AgentImage, typed Object Memory, explicit capabilities, human queues, checkpoints, events, and audit records. Its central design rule is tools are libc-like wrappers; runtime primitives are the authority boundary. Filesystem access, object access, sleeps, human approval, JIT tool registration, and external side effects are checked at primitive boundaries under explicit capabilities and policy.
We describe the design, threat model, Python prototype, and safety-oriented evaluation. The current prototype implements async scheduling, namespace-local Object Memory, runtime-integrated human approval, one-shot permission grants, per-process working directories, shell and image-registration primitives, Deno/TypeScript JIT tools over a libOS syscall broker, filesystem/object bridge tools, an injectable Resource Provider Substrate, deterministic demos, real-model smoke scripts, and 123 regression tests at the time of writing. Rather than improving planner accuracy, Agent libOS demonstrates a runtime substrate in which long-running LLM agents can be scheduled, authorized, resumed, and audited without treating tool dispatch as the trust boundary.

Well, we've finally packaged #Valkey (another #Redis fork) in #Gentoo, along with its #Python bindings.
Not that we wanted to, but #FakeRedis now started requiring it for tests so heavily that it was too much effort to patch it out. Just to be clear, it just requires the Python bindings, because its test suite happily runs against either Redis or Valkey, and literally doesn't support testing against both simultaneously. But to add the bindings, we needed the database to test them against. And since I've added the package too, I've put a lot of effort (and swearing) to test FakeRedis against both servers.
Should you be using Valkey? Well, let's put it like this. You shouldn't be using Redis, because it's enterprise quality shit. Valkey is roughly what happens when you fork enterprise quality shit and have no clue what you're doing. Though you are able to mostly get renaming right (one valkey-py test failed over the server calling itself "Valkey" rather than "Redis").
Disclaimer: I've only looked at the Python bindings. Maybe the maintainers are more knowledgeable with the server itself.

Godot USD: Moved from a patched Godot to a proper GDExtension, so you no longer need a fork.
Pretty happy with the live variant changes, it also has a traditional "one-off" importer if you do not want to pay a runtime libOpenUSD price.

Ditch Chrome. Ditch it yesterday. It’s already 50% hostile surveillance machine, but that’s soon going to be 100%.
Vivaldi is a fine near-drop-in replacement if you want maximum compatibility. It’s what I use for G-Suite stuff whenever I have to use it.
Waterfox is a Firefox fork that strips out the AI nonsense features. I’ve been happy with it.
Firefox itself has problematic leadership these days, but is still better than Chrome.
Safari on Mac (my daily driver) is a lovely browser, lean and blazing fast compared to Chrome, and great privacy features — though it’s still Big Tech if that’s a problem for you.
In short, you have choices!

You know what's wild? If a piece of software isn't in your native language, it's now relatively easy to just maintain a fork that is, ongoing.
