Got a free "broken" tabletop arcade cabinet. Took some doing, but Mr 16 and I got it working again! Now onto retropie. If anyone has tips on gpio and old arcade controls I'm all ears.

It's interesting that Gemini CLI defaults to use the WebFetch tool for URLs instead of the GitHub MCP. That's the kind of thing I sort of expect the agent to figure out for me?

I haven't used Windows for development in a minute (ok, decade). So far I'm surprised that most of the tools I want to use are available! Outside of the new terminal app, winget and oh-my-posh, are there other Windows-specific tools I should be looking into?

I'm pretty surprised at the limited number of options in github.com/mcp. As far as I can tell, there's no real open public registry that's official?

Linkinator, now with proper build provenance on npm! Turns out github.com/googleapis/r... matches really well for this workflow with OIDC, where semantic-release kind of fell down.

This is really spectacular. The OIDC workflows for actions and GCP were game changing for us, and I have no doubt this will protect a lot of folks.
The npm team has shipped OIDC publishing from GitHub and GitLab! Has anybody tried it yet? Finally no more npm token leaks!
