I couldn't find anything else to do exactly what I wanted (or wasn't just a blatent rugpull towards "enterprise pricing" waiting to happen) so I slopped together an MCP Proxy that uses FastMCP to proxy a list of upstream

"Extreme Heat" seems to be 37-40 degrees Celsius which is bafflingly mundane to me as an Australian who grew up in rural New South Wales. We'd pack 30 kids and a teacher into an un-airconditioned classroom with just a ceiling

As an Australian with a family and 2 high-paying salaries paying a LOT of tax, none of those countries are remotely comparable to Australia. If you hate taxes and fees, Singapore has a 60% Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty on residential p

I certainly wouldn't use a compiler that "screws up" 1% of the time; that's the perfect amount where it's extremely common where everything I use it for will have major issues but also so laborious to find amongst t

At this point, where everyone is using an LLM to post and I'm having to use an LLM to keep up and summarise it, I think I'll just ...stop and go outside for quite a while...
