FailHub issue #1 covers three failures and lessons:
- Silent scope growth: minor changes accumulate; enforce clear boundaries and open dialogue to adjust scope, priorities, or quality.
- Everyone agrees, but no one aligns: Definition of Done must be explicit and measurable; show frequent demos; break work into small pieces for early feedback.
- Architecture without context: moving logic without project context increases complexity; decisions must consider age, dependencies, team, pace, and goals; prefer stable solutions over theoretically clean ones.

Voiden voiden is an offline-first API client that lets developers define, test, and document APIs as code—no accounts, no lock-in, no telemetry. Work with Markdown and Git, build API blocks, comment on JSON/XML, and preview responses (PDFs, videos) without cloud sync. It runs locally as a self-contained API lab with environments, themes, and scripts. The repo includes quick-start instructions, a docs/ directory, and Apache-2.0 licensing, inviting community contributions.

Common Lisp extension for the Zed editor with an integrated LSP server and Jupyter kernel support. It provides smart, type-aware code completion, parameter snippets, package-qualified completions, hover docs, and real-time symbol documentation; syntax highlighting via tree-sitter; multi-file/package symbol management; and a shared Master REPL that coordinates Zed and Jupyter kernels. Installation: clone the repo, install the Dev Extension in Zed, and meet prerequisites (SBCL, Quicklisp; Jupyter and ZeroMQ optional). Usage: LSP starts when opening a .lisp file; examples show function definitions, REPL evaluation, and cross-kernel sharing. File types: .lisp, .lsp, .cl, .asd, .ros. License MIT.

Jack Kerouac’s 37‑meter original On the Road scroll, typed in three weeks in 1951 on tracing paper, is up for auction at Christie’s in New York on 12 March as part of the Jim Irsay Collection, estimated at £1.8m–£2.9m. The scroll predates the 1957 published revision and is a landmark Beat artefact. The sale also features Kerouac’s The Dharma Bums scroll (est. £218k–£364k) and other collection items, amid past controversy over private sales; nearly 400 items will be exhibited 6–12 March.

An anciente mappe of Fairyland is a 1917 decorative map by Bernard Sleigh depicting Fairyland from nursery rhymes, fairy tales, Arthurian legends, and folktales. Sleigh sketched it to entertain his children; after his 1937 retirement, it became a Rosebank Fabrics print that inspired other fairy-tale patterns. The piece measures about 39 x 147 cm (sheet 46 x 152 cm) and includes a 16-page guide. It is in the Norman B. Leventhal Map & Education Center Collection at the Boston Public Library, with no known copyright restrictions, and has been exhibited in 2015–2017.

Zuckerman is a minimalist personal AI that starts small, self-edits its own configuration, tools, prompts, and even core logic in plain-text files, and hot-reloads changes in real time. It evolves by sharing useful edits and capabilities with other agents on a shared contribution site, enabling collaborative growth of a living ecosystem of personal AIs. It uses a three-layer architecture (World, Agents, Interfaces), supports multi-channel communication (CLI and Electron UI), built-in security foundations, and tool integration for real-time expansion.

MicroPythonOS is an open-source microcontroller OS with an Android‑like UI, LVGL touchscreen, app store, OTA updates, and gestures. Written in MicroPython, it uses a Thin OS for hardware init, multitasking and UI; apps handle system features. It runs on ESP32 (and any MicroPython‑supported platform) and is cross‑platform for app development on Windows/Linux/macOS. Preinstalled apps: Launcher, WiFi config, AppStore, OSUpdate, Settings; AppStore includes Hello World, Camera, Image Viewer, IMU, etc., with source code available. Hardware support on ESP32 includes WiFi, Bluetooth, sensors, cameras, touch displays, IO, I2C. Source on GitHub; demo/install via web installer; discussed at FOSDEM 2026.

FOSDEM 2026 centered on Open Source, Digital Sovereignty, and Europe’s future, highlighting self-hosted solutions and community-driven software (FreeBSD, DN42, SmolBSD, BoxyBSD). Talks covered memory-safe virtualization (Rust-VMM), reliable object storage (Garage S3 Best Practices), VM mobility in Kubernetes, minimalist BSD systems, and decentralized networking (DN42). Notable moments included Mozilla’s free cookies and Collabora Online discussions. The event showed growing crowding and political focus, calling for sustainability and accessibility while preserving openness and in-person community.

Amiga UNIX (Amix) was Commodore’s 1990 port of AT&T System V Release 4 Unix to the Amiga. It officially ran on the Amiga 2500UX/3000UX (and similar Amigas) and can be run in WinUAE emulation since 2013. The wiki preserves Amix history, installation guides (real hardware or emulation), networking, tutorials, software, patches, and community resources. It notes Amix is historical and difficult to install, with a closed-source kernel/libc and no active development, making it mainly of interest for curiosity and learning rather than practical use.

Seven-stage guide to scale from 0 to 10M+ users: 1) single server for 0–100; 2) separate database; 3) load-balanced multi‑servers; 4) cache, read replicas, CDN; 5) auto-scaling and stateless with JWTs; 6) sharding, microservices, and queues; 7) multi-region with CQRS and edge computing. Key principles: start simple, measure bottlenecks, keep apps stateless, cache aggressively, use async, shard only when needed, balance consistency and availability, accept complexity costs.

VisualJJ is a VS Code extension that overlays Jujutsu (JJ) and Git with an interactive change tree. It helps you view and edit commit history safely, drag-and-drop commits for rebases, and keep history clean even on busy main branches. Conflicts appear in the change tree in a safe draft state, guiding you through step-by-step resolution. It also integrates with GitHub to track pull requests from the editor and create PRs with a click. Designed to keep developers in flow and streamline in-editor version control.

An owner’s review of a Thunderbolt-to-25 GbE adapter (PX) that’s powered from the host. It uses a Mellanox ConnectX-4 Lx EN OCP 2.0 NIC with a TB3/4 adapter, offered as single- or dual-port (from about $157). On macOS it’s plug‑and‑play but runs extremely hot, occasionally causing network drops or kernel panics. Throughput is ~20.7 Gb/s one‑way and ~25.4 Gb/s bidirectional, near Thunderbolt PCIe limits; dual ports mainly aid redundancy. Cooling with large heatsinks improves reliability but the unit still needs active cooling. Firmware updates require Linux; the heatsinks prevent the case from closing.

Scott Galloway proposes a targeted Big Tech/AI boycott to protest ICE, starting February. Instead of a general shutdown, Americans would unsubscribe from major services—OpenAI's ChatGPT, Amazon Prime Video, Microsoft Office—for the month, aiming to dent valuations and pressure the White House. The plan follows January protests that strained small businesses during a nationwide strike; many small shops stayed open. Galloway argues a one-month slowdown could be more disruptive than a day of protest and could influence policymaking.

Zezner describes building a minimal, opinionated coding agent ecosystem (pi) consisting of pi-ai (unified LLM API), pi-agent-core (agent loop), pi-tui (retained-mode terminal UI with differential rendering), and pi-coding-agent (CLI wiring). He argues context engineering is key; compares to Claude Code and others; emphasizes cross-provider context handoff, streaming tool calls, and a type-safe model registry. Tools: read/write/edit/bash with no built-in to-dos, plan mode, or MCP; YOLO default; no background bash; sub-agents discouraged. pi-tui uses two UI styles and synchronized rendering to minimize flicker. Benchmarks and philosophy emphasize observability, control, and extensibility, with openness to fork.
