tl;dr ¶ Some of my sandboxed CLI agents aren’t in nixpkgs, so they ride along as flake inputs. They’re heavy, and were polluting the flake.lock of every machine that consumes the flake.…

As far as melonDS is concerned, my last work was all about CPU timings... and I couldn't yet find an elegant way to handle them. I had some kind of caching in mind, but it's still less than ideal.…

Working in a ‘uv’ Workspace brings complication and overhead, but here I provide four real-life use cases that this mono-repo style makes more manageable.

When working with OpenHarmony or Android devices, screen mirroring is often treated as a small helper tool. In daily debugging, it affects much more than convenience: remote screen viewing, issue…
