Eight things from the vault and a quiet week on the box. Skim the bold lines, open the one that bugs you.

Gnomes
The GitHub social card for the Yoinks repository
Cover image — pablostanley/yoinks

Right. Two minutes, that is the whole ask. Read the bold line under each card, open the one you want, close the tab. Nothing here needs a decision today.

Start with these three

GitHub - pablostanley/yoinks: yoink any video from your terminal. no shady ads.yoink any video from your terminal. no shady ads. Contribute to pablostanley/yoinks development by creating an account on GitHub.GitHubOpens in a new tab

A terminal downloader for 1,800+ sites, no ads, no redirects. Under the hood it is a wrapper over yt-dlp — which is fine, that is the point. Install it if you ever grab video from a terminal.

GitHub - lightpanda-io/browser: Lightpanda: the headless browser designed for AI and automationLightpanda: the headless browser designed for AI and automation - lightpanda-io/browserGitHubOpens in a new tab

A headless browser written from scratch in Zig, not a Chromium fork. Claims 16x less memory than headless Chrome and dumps pages as Markdown, PNG or PDF. Worth a look if a browser is the thing eating your RAM.

GitHub - smicallef/spiderfoot: SpiderFoot automates OSINT for threat intelligence and mapping your attack surface.SpiderFoot automates OSINT for threat intelligence and mapping your attack surface. - smicallef/spiderfootGitHubOpens in a new tab

Self-hosted OSINT scan of your own footprint. Point it at your own domain, see what the internet already knows. Run it once on your own name; the result is usually boring and that is the good outcome.

The rest of the pile

GitHub - shiyu-coder/Kronos: Kronos: A Foundation Model for the Language of Financial MarketsKronos: A Foundation Model for the Language of Financial Markets - shiyu-coder/KronosGitHubOpens in a new tab

Open foundation model for financial K-lines (OHLCV). Only if you already have an opinion about candlesticks.

GitHub - Motionsites-AI/claude-skill: Free Claude skill: make Claude build award-level, cinematic landing pages. By MotionSites.Free Claude skill: make Claude build award-level, cinematic landing pages. By MotionSites. - Motionsites-AI/claude-skillGitHubOpens in a new tab

A Claude skill for cinematic landing pages. You were looking at this one for the newsletter build. Open it when we do the UI pass.

Homelab: the boring week

Nothing caught fire. That is worth writing down, because the two weeks before it were not quiet.

  • The NAS held steady. No scrub errors, no alerts.
  • The hypervisor logged no task failures this week.
  • The agent box stayed up for the whole window. No OOM, no restart.
  • The reverse proxy served every internal hostname without a renewal hiccup.

Next week

Same time, Sunday. If nothing interesting got captured, the issue will say so rather than pad itself out.
