The
tryblock is an experimental approach to make multipleunwrap()more elegant. It allows "compacting" all the checks for errors in a single block.

- Model Context Protocol Server for Home Assistant
-
The Model Context Protocol is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. The Model Context Protocol Server (MCP) integration enables using Home Assistant to provide context for MCP LLM Client Applications. For example, you can control your lights from Claude Desktop, or expose your Google Tasks to-do list as a tool.

The post goes tries to answer the problem of exactly-once delivery of messages through several logical steps:
- exactly-once processing
- sending an idempotency key along with messages
- which kind of keys are better suited
- sequences for the win

Somebody mentioned Tailscale under one of my posts about Cloudflare. I’m getting very interested in it
- Stop Breaking TLS
-
Rant ahead: I hate TLS "Inspection" software with a burning passion and I wish we collectively as an industry would just knock it the fuck off and stop pretending it’s some great security benefit. Every time I encounter it, in whatever form, it’s a gigantic headache that makes everyone’s life worse off and as far as I am concerned offers next to zero tangible benefits.

Interesting framework. I never did have to write concurrent code by myself, but I’ll be sure to remember this tool if I do.
- Primitive Type never

TIL:
The
!type, also called "never".!represents the type of computations which never resolve to any value at all. For example, theexitfunctionfn exit(code: i32) → !exits the process without ever returning, and so returns!. - Use Python for Scripting!
