The key insight behind Model Context Protocol (MCP) is simple: rather than building custom integrations for every tool and data source, MCP standardizes how AI applications connect to external systems, just like REST standardized communication between web frontends and backends.

Thanks, Tamiya-san | Hackaday

We’re saddened to report the passing of Shunsaku Tamiya, the man behind the Tamiya line of models. What was surprising about this, though, is how many of our readers and writers alike felt touched by the Tamiya model company. I mean, they made great models, and they’re definitely a quality outfit, but the outpouring of fond memories across a broad spectrum was striking.

dylanaraps/pure-sh-bible: 📖 A collection of pure POSIX sh alternatives to external processes.

The goal of this book is to document commonly-known and lesser-known methods of doing various tasks using only built-in POSIX sh features. Using the snippets from this bible can help remove unneeded dependencies from scripts and in most cases make them faster. I came across these tips and discovered a few while developing KISS Linux and other smaller projects.
