arrow_forwardKilling 1Password Biometric Spam in Claude Code with One Pipe
Every op call triggers a Touch ID or CLI authorization prompt, and that authorization expires after 10 minutes of idle. In an agent loop, that's death by a thousand prompts. Here is how I cut it to one prompt per vault per session by abusing a single op pipe — and packaged it as a public Claude Code plugin.

arrow_forwardMaking Playwright MCP Work With Your Real Browser in Claude Code
Claude Code hardcodes how it launches the Playwright MCP server, making extension mode impossible. Here's how I reverse-engineered the problem and patched it with a 2-line fix.

arrow_forwardStop Sending PII to OpenAI & Claude: A Rust Proxy That Redacts First
How a transparent MITM proxy intercepts outbound HTTP/S requests and replaces PII and secrets with format-preserving fakes before they reach LLM providers or third-party APIs — without touching application code.
I Built a TCP-to-gRPC Proxy Because Monolithic Game Servers Can't Scale
A focused look at PPlex — a Rust TCP proxy that demultiplexes long-lived client connections to a pool of stateless gRPC upstream workers, making monolithic TCP servers horizontally scalable without a rewrite.

Why PDF Generation Is Hard (and How to Get It Right)
PDF generation sounds like a solved problem until you actually do it. Headless Chrome rendering, browser pools, timeout handling, and everything else that sits between 'it works on my machine' and reliable production output.

Reverse Engineering a 2005 Flash Game With OpenCV and Packet Sniffing
How I built a dual-engine bot for Dofus 1.29 — combining OpenCV template matching and OCR for UI state with passive TCP packet analysis for game state.

Terraform Module Drift Is Silently Breaking Your Infrastructure
Version constraints in Terraform modules look harmless until they aren't. This is how MonPhare catches drift, conflicts, and risky patterns before they reach production.

Your Team Is Sharing Secrets Over Slack. Here's the Fix.
How treating secrets as versioned, typed, encrypted npm packages eliminates the secret sprawl problem — without requiring a vault migration or changing developer workflows.

Taking a Monolithic TCP Game Server to the Cloud — The Hard Way
How to take old monolithic TCP servers and architect them for the cloud using a custom proxy/load balancer that handles sticky sessions, context switching, and upstream gRPC distribution.
