They did a "virtual" buffet to model behavior, nobody said anything about hotels "doing a virtual buffet"?

Isn't it literally playing it via curl though - curl reads STDIN and transmits that to the server, which responds. The whole bash thing is completely optional and only saves you some tty setup.

But that's not what it does, the bash option just saves you from doing stty setup and reset I think? You can just type it all out by hand, too, as the readme explains

Try https://github.com/hmans/beans - I find it a refreshingly pragmatic take that works great with my agents use.

It's pretty clearly satire.

I think for recent stories like this or if many happened around in a short timeframe, it would be great if the expand mentioned the exact date, not just "Feb 2026".

I'm enjoying Chatto, https://chatto.run/, which is due to launch soon ish. Open source, self hosting, cloud hosted option, etc. Architecture looks pretty cool.

"Subject to the exceptions" conflicts with the "no exceptions" wording in the GPL licenses, so I don't even see how any of this constitutes a valid license

There was a bug, since fixed, that erroneously capped at something like 60% of the limit, if you want to try again

Show HN: Wikitool – CLI for fetching Wikipedia content

moeffju — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 10:01:31 +0000

I wanted Wikipedia access for scripts and AI agents without scraping rendered pages. Using the API is lighter on Wikipedia's servers and compliant with their guidelines.

So I built a command-line tool for fetching Wikipedia articles and search results via the REST API.

    wikitool Earth
    wikitool "https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erde"
    wikitool search "intitle:einstein"

It parses Wikipedia URLs automatically (extracts language + title), supports all 300+ language editions, and exposes CirrusSearch query syntax for search.

Output is wikitext by default, with `--html` and `--output json` options.

Single static Go binary, no dependencies.

Repo: https://github.com/teal-bauer/wikitool

There's also a skill file (https://github.com/teal-bauer/wikitool-skill) that teaches Claude Code how to use it.

New comment by moeffju in "Ask HN: Do custom ROMs exist for electric cars, for example Teslas?"

moeffju — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 17:52:03 +0000

I'm not aware of anything for electric _cars_ other than aftermarket ECUs and smaller patches, version up/downgrades or cross-market reflashing, but together with a few other people I've built https://librescoot.org/ as an open source replacement firmware for electric scooters (mopeds, not standing scooters). The actual ECU firmware has also been reverse engineered, but for legal reasons has been deprioritized - if anyone here is well-versed in STM32 reverse engineering and feels like taking on e-scooter ECUs, let me know :)

I believe perhaps is a seven letter word, not six? Or was it just compressed? ^^

And now they rewrote Git history and that commit is dangling. Wow...

There is nothing normal about this, as you can easily verify by looking at recorded weather history.

Show HN: GhydraMCP – Agentic reverse engineering across multiple binaries

moeffju — Mon, 31 Mar 2025 11:25:17 +0000

Hi HN, I was playing around with the recently posted ghidraMCP by LaurieWired (https://github.com/LaurieWired/GhidraMCP) and wanted to try it on a project I'm working, but that has multiple component that interact with each other. So after fixing some minor things in ghidraMCP I went overboard and extended it to support multiple open Ghidra files and interact with all of them in the same session. I also made the HTTP interfaces more REST-like, and am working on adding more functionality to the tool, like renaming local variables.

Huge thanks to LaurieWired for the initial plugin and impetus!

Maybe F-Droid should just call their official blessed repo "F-Repo" to end the confusion, because this is clearly available through F-Droid, just not in the F-Droid official repo...
