For the IT/OT penetration testing boxes as well as for the "Lemon" and "Motion" projects, a total of 10 prototypes were completed and equipped with the corresponding operating systems; only a few software packages and the adaptation of the configuration specifically to the hardware and the respective model are still missing.

In my free time over the coming weeks and months, I’ll be working on a new version of my pentest dropboxes for IT and OT, and I’ll be turning the projects “Lemon” and “Motion”, which are still on paper, into reality.
And since people keep asking, I don’t have a sponsor and pay for everything out of my own pocket because that’s the only way I can stay creative and independent.

RE: https://infosec.exchange/@gtronix/116476323143982385
This is actually a good example about reasonable approach to AI and treating it as an assistive technology.
Instead of replacing humans, a "vision" most AI companies want to sell to get money and higher valuation, the practical use of AI is about getting help with everyday tasks. Searching for bugs is good example with positive impact on code quality as it allows to more easily find them.
It's not about replacing developers or bug hunters, but about making pragmatic improvement.
Less hype, more pragmatism and realism. This is what is needed for adoption of AI in areas where it brings real value.

RT @codi_fyy: 🚨 EILMELDUNG: Jemand hat genau das Tool gebaut, das Andrej Karpathy gesagt hat, dass jemand bauen sollte. 48 Stunden nach Karpathys Veröffentlichung seines LLM-Wissensdatenbank-Workflows erschien dies auf GitHub. Es heißt Graphify. Ein Befehl. Jeder Ordner. Vollständige Wissensgraph. Zeige es auf jeden Ordner. Führe /graphify in Claude Code aus. Geh weg. Hier ist, was am anderen Ende herauskommt: - Ein navigierbarer Wissensgraph von allem in diesem Ordner - Ein Obsidian-Vault mit rückverlinkten Artikeln - Ein Wiki, das bei index.md beginnt und jeden Konzeptcluster kartiert - Natürlichsprachige Fragen und Antworten über deine gesamte Codebasis oder deinen Forschungsordner Du kannst es Dinge fragen wie: "Was ruft diese Funktion auf?" "Was verbindet diese beiden Konzepte?" "Was sind die wichtigsten Knoten in diesem Projekt?" Keine Vektordatenbank. Kein Setup. Keine Konfigurationsdateien. Die Token-Effizienz-Zahl hat mich überzeugt: 71,5x weniger Tokens pro Abfrage im Vergleich zum Lesen von Rohdateien. Das ist keine kleine Verbesserung. Das ist ein völlig anderes Paradigma dafür, wie KI-Agenten über große Codebasen schlussfolgern. Was es unterstützt: - Code in 13 Programmiersprachen - PDFs - Bilder via Claude Vision - Markdown-Dateien Installation in einer Zeile: pip install graphify && graphify install Dann tippe /graphify in Claude Code und zeige es auf alles Mögliche. Karpathy hat gefragt. Jemand hat in 48 Stunden geliefert. Das ist das Tempo von 2026. Open Source. Kostenlos.

Six app cards in a two-by-three grid. Each card has a dark glass-like background with rounded corners, an icon on the left, the app name in bold, and a short description.
Top row, left to right:
- Core Cooldown, teal coffee cup icon. "A mindful break timer for Windows."
- Whisper Voice, purple microphone icon. "Local speech recognition for Windows."
- TypoGenie, warm gold letter T icon. "Turn Markdown into professional Word docs."
Bottom row, left to right:
- TutorialVault, green play button icon. "Desktop video tutorial library manager."
- OpenPylon, teal tower/pylon icon. "A local-first Kanban board for Windows."
- Vesper, grey spiral/shell icon. "A distraction-free markdown reader for Windows."
Below these, a seventh card sits alone on the left reading "More coming soon" in green with "Stay tuned for new releases." and a plus icon.
At the bottom, "© 2026 lashman" in muted text, with two buttons: "Buy me a coffee" with a coffee cup icon, and "Support on Liberapay" with a heart icon.
Core Cooldown v0.2.0 is out - and it's still completely free. This update brings the whole UI up to WCAG 2.2 Level AAA accessibility.
7:1 contrast, 44px hit areas, full keyboard nav, WAI-ARIA 1.2 screen reader support, Windows High Contrast, and reduced-motion support. 42 fixes across 18 components.
A break timer meant to prevent RSI should work for everyone. Portable, no installer, CC0 public domain.
Whisper Voice also got a big accessibility update! The whole UI now meets WCAG 2.2 Level AAA - 7:1+ contrast, full keyboard nav, screen reader roles on every component, reduced motion support, and I/O marks on toggles so nothing relies on color alone.
Still free, still portable, still completely local. Your voice never leaves your machine.
TypoGenie v1.1.0 is out. The app and its document output now target WCAG 2.2 Level AAA.
Full keyboard nav, screen reader support, native dialog modals, high contrast and reduced motion support. All color pairs across 165+ templates auto-validated for AAA contrast.
The Word docs it generates are also more accessible - tagged table headers, heading structure, document metadata.
Free, portable, CC0.
TutorialVault v1.1.0 - completely rewritten from Python to Rust + TypeScript on Tauri v2. Now targets WCAG 2.2 AAA - full keyboard nav, screen reader support, 44px touch targets, 7:1 contrast, reduced motion, and Windows High Contrast support.
It's a local video tutorial library manager with progress tracking, subtitle support, per-video notes, and drag-and-drop playlists. Free, portable, CC0.
OpenPylon v1.1.0 - accessibility update. The whole UI now targets WCAG 2.2 AAA. 7:1 contrast, 3px dual-ring focus indicators, ARIA live regions, dialog focus trapping, skip nav, keyboard-accessible context menus, high contrast mode, and 8-second toasts with pause and dismiss.
It's a local-first Kanban board for Windows with markdown cards, version history, and a command palette. Free, portable, CC0.
Vesper v1.1.0 - accessibility and light theme update. Full keyboard nav, ARIA landmarks, focus traps in modals, skip link, aria-live status messages, reduced motion support, and AAA contrast across both the new light and dark themes.
Also added content zoom and width spinners as non-gesture alternatives to scroll shortcuts.
It's a distraction-free Markdown reader for Windows. Free, portable, CC0.
Made a new thing. Driftwood - an AppImage manager for Linux. Browse 2,000+ apps, one-click install, updates, vulnerability scanning, and desktop menu integration. No root, no accounts, no telemetry.
Built with Rust and GTK 4, runs in userspace, ships as an AppImage itself. Free, CC0 public domain, WCAG 2.2 AAA accessible.
If you use AppImages and want something nicer than the terminal for managing them, give it a look.
New app. Outlay - a personal finance app for Linux. Track what you spend, set budgets, manage subscriptions, and see where your money goes. Everything lives in one file on your machine. No accounts, no cloud, no telemetry.
It's a native GTK 4 app so it fits right in on a GNOME desktop. I put a lot of work into making it look and feel nice.
Free, CC0 public domain. No subscription to track your subscriptions.
New app. PixStrip - batch image processor for Linux. Resize, convert, compress, strip metadata, watermark, and rename. A step-by-step wizard walks you through everything so you don't need to know what you're doing to get good results.
Full CLI for scripting. Fediverse resize presets for Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Lemmy built in.
Rust + GTK 4, native on GNOME. WCAG 2.2 AAA accessible. Free, CC0 public domain. Runs locally.
New app. Nomina - a modern bulk file renamer for Windows. Stack rename rules into a pipeline, preview everything live & undo anything, even across sessions. 18 rename operations including regex, EXIF dates, case conversion, and sequential numbering.
Most tools like this look like they haven't been updated since 2004. This one doesn't.
Portable, no installer. WCAG 2.2 AAA accessible. Free, CC0 public domain. No telemetry.
New app. EchoBoard - a self-hosted feedback platform. Your community can submit ideas, report bugs, and vote without ever creating an account. No email, no sign-up wall, no tracking. Just show up and participate.
Self-host with Docker. Plugin system, roadmap, changelog, webhooks. WCAG 2.2 AAA accessible. Free, CC0 public domain. Privacy by design.
https://apps.lashman.live/echoboard/
Running it for real for my own apps here, not a demo:
https://echoboard.lashman.live
New app. Cinch - a video compressor for Windows that fits your file under whatever upload limit you're dealing with. Drop a clip in, trim it down, pick a target size, and it just handles it.
Six presets for the usual cases (Discord 8MB, Gmail 25MB, Slack, Matrix etc) or type your own number. It auto-retries until it lands inside the budget.
FFmpeg under the hood, NVENC/AMF/QSV when your GPU plays along. Free, CC0, runs offline.

Heads up for any FOSS contributors and coders!
Or anyone that knows how to code web apps and wants to contribute to solarpunk activities, bringing about post-scarcity food security, or just helping feed people:
Rootable is a Free and Open Source app that helps local towns coordinate food rescue.
Website: https://rootable.org
Code Base: https://codeberg.org/rootable/
Food rescue is where local community groups go to a grocery store, bakery, restaurant, etc., and "glean" or gather up any GOOD FOOD that would otherwise be thrown away and get to it people who are hungry.
Reduces food waste.
Increased food security.
For more info on food waste, take a look at this John Oliver episode on Food Waste: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8xwLWb0lLY
If you'd like to contribute code, fix bugs (usability, security, etc), assist in technical documentation or support, etc., please visit the git repo and pitch in.
If anyone needs contact info for the project lead, DM me.
This is an actively used app and helping with it directly helps feed people. This is a great way to build mutual aid projects.

Updates on my town's Food Rescue initiatives.... Some bad.... and some good.
Bad News is we are no longer working with Food Rescue US. To be very clear, they are a wonderful organization and if you have an opportunity to work with them, by all means do so!
My groups model and their model just don't really align is all. Long and short, they were wanting us to get more food rescue routes quicker than we were able to and when we really couldnt meet their metrics, we both agreed that we should go our separate ways.
Quick Lessons learned here:
- Their model works really well when you have a dedicated and paid staff. It wasn't working well for a community group comprised of volunteers working in their (often minimal) spare time.
- If you do have a dedicated or even paid group, they are AWESOME!!! Great staff. Loads of in house support. Great app.
- If you don't have a dedicated staff and are a smaller community group, it might not be the best fit.Both parties knew this going into it and we had decided to give it a shot anyhow. It didn't work out. And we exited as expected. Alas.
Ok. So..... next part is the good news.
With that!!! We have now joined the Food Rescue Alliance (FRA)! They are a mutual-aid group of mutual-aid groups spearheaded by the Boulder (Colorado USA) Food Rescue group.
More info here: https://www.boulderfoodrescue.org/food-rescue-alliance/
They are much more aligned with how we work.
Now, instead of taking orders and meeting metrics from a non-profit corporate model, we operate independently and both rely on and contribute to the greater FRA group members.
This is awesome.
We have access to peer support, best practice information, troubleshooting and guidance, as well as their own food rescue app - Rootable.
Rootable is a Free and Open Source (FOSS) application.
Here is the app website: https://rootable.org
Here is the codebase: https://codeberg.org/rootable/
We're getting set up on it right now. We've been warmly welcomed and have already attended some meetings.
I think this will work out great.
