Your Homelab Behind CGNAT — Now Reachable for Free

If your ISP puts you behind CGNAT, you can't SSH into your home server from outside. VPNs work but add complexity. rcmd now has a free hosted relay — 3 servers, no credit card, no ports to forward, works from anywhere.

I Built a Security Auditor for AI Agents. It Has No AI Inside.

machin-secure scans a codebase for secrets, injection, and weak crypto and streams JSONL findings. The interesting part isn't the scanner — it's that it has no LLM client, no report generator, and no sandbox. The calling agent already is the model.

I ran a coding agent on my own CPU — LLM engine written from scratch in a language you've never heard of

A coding agent completed a task on a low-power CPU with no cloud and no PyTorch — the entire LLM engine written from scratch in machin (MFL). Including the moment the 1.5B model tried to cheat the test, and how I caught it.

Claude Artifacts, Unbundled: A Live URL for Every Agent's HTML

Terminal agents generate great HTML — dashboards, reports, mockups — and have nowhere to put it. hart turns a self-contained file into a live, versioned, sandboxed URL in one CLI call. Open-source, self-hosted, one static binary.

The Self-Hosted Stack That Runs My Infrastructure

AutoMaintainer, mago, SuperCLI, SuperInsights, machin, a2a — each product works alone, but the real story is how they work together. This is the fully self-hosted stack that runs Intrane for ~€60/month. No lock-in, no vendor dependency, no surprise bills.

Machin in Production — Real Products Built with MFL

A language that optimizes for AI generation over human readability sounds good in theory, but theory does not ship products. Here is what we have actually built with machin — running in production today: auth broker, webhook relay, browser REPL, terminal emulator, and more.

Self-Hosted Analytics — Why I Built What GA Won't Give You

Google Analytics is a black box. Your data flows into someone else's servers and you get back whatever dashboards they decide to give you. SuperInsights is the opposite: self-hosted, raw event access, AI-powered analysis, zero third-party data sharing.
