For around 10 years I've been playing around trying to get GraphViz built for iOS. Admittingly I've not spent huge amounts of time on it but have never quite got it working properly. Have also tried over the last couple of years on and off with various LLMs to see how they would fare also without success.

Had another go this today with Claude Code - and got it working quite nicely! Took a few iterations to get things built properly but have a nice build script and understandable instructions.

did you know that SSH has a little-known secret menu?

i wrote a post about this on cohost a while back, but since that site shut down i'm posting it here too

‘We need a new internet’ is being shouted from the rooftops. ‘That’s not possible!’ Everyone yells back. ‘Look I’ve built one!’ I shout into the crowd.

*crickets*

We know that nearly all successes are discounted and ignored before they become mainstream, I’ve personally lived it many times before. I’m actually going to pull this off, so remember how no one will ever believe you. No one ever does.

Got one of those little Polono P31s thermal label printers from shown on TikTok - actually a neat little gadget, only thing I'm not a fan of the Labelnise app - no idea what/if its sending out. So with the assistance of Claude, knocked up a small Python CLI to print text, images, qr and barcodes to it over BLE.

Whoever at Apple thought that "Copying shared cache symbols" every new beta was a good thing should be made to deploy a watch app to device with a new beta every day (without their fancy connection cables!!)

@steggy haha no - it was raining - tried to let her out but not a chance. She didn't want food either or cuddles/playing with! No idea!
Oy - I want something BUT you'll have to guess what!

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.
