So I tested MemPalace on my work computer where Claude has been running for more than a year. Its really an interesting tool but…my palace in just one project folder cost me +800GB of disk space. I had to delete .mempalace/ altogether for now, either something is wrong and I have found a bug or something else 🔗 https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/04/25/18b0a

The Trump administration should be on trial, all of them, and face the war crimes they have perpetrated. Along with Putin, Khamenei and Netanyahu. That would be a good Earth Day. 🔗 https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/04/26/9cc07

je rêve d’une lampe de chevet/projecteur reliée à la page Flickr de la NASA qui afficherait les dernières photos de l’univers en haute résolution sur le plafond de ma chambre. Malheureusement les options qui existent sont cadenassées a des images prédéfinies et limitées en nombre. il y a aussi le problème du bruit à régler, un mini projecteur serait trop bruyant sur une table de chevet. 🔗 https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/05/02/1c1db

Avec mon café du matin, je scroll 2 minutes la ligne du temps de ces dernières 48h et je constate que la dissonance cognitive c’est aussi aller au taf et s’occuper de sa vie comme si de rien n’était alors que le monde brûle et se consume dans d’incessantes révulsions qui me dépassent et pourtant… tout vas bien ! Bon Lundi, Bonne Semaine ! 🔗 https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/05/04/23f65

So I wanted to have a simple way to quickly find previous Claude Code sessions across different environments, in my case, two WSL instances, so I vibe coded this nice little TUI tool. my itch was that I run claude sessions from different directories and I never remember exactly where, I didn’t wanted to change my work habit (always start claude from the same path) and I didn’t want to search which claude session have the right context, I also wanted to have my sessions properly named so that I...

Odd situation with buzzworkers LetsEncrypt certificate was not renewing properly, changed gandi API LiveDNS (deprecated) to PAT and forced cloudron to renew the certificate. Problem solved but in more than a decade its the first time a LE certificate does not renew properly on its own. 🔗 https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/05/19/59c57
Building Plume
I got annoyed. Every time I wanted to bookmark a page or jot down a note, I’d open the Indiekit admin UI in a new tab, paste a URL, and click around. Small friction. But small friction repeats forever. So two days ago I started a brainstorm with Claude on what it would take to build a browser extension that posts to my Micropub blog directly from the toolbar. Two days later, Plume is live on the Chrome Web Store and Mozilla AMO. Source on GitHub. No telemetry, two browsers, 127 unit tests if...

Chaque fois qu’éclate une affaire de viol en France, j’ai la même réflexion : et si c’était un viol d’un inconnu contre une inconnue, la Justice et la société et les Médias donneraient ils la même importance qu’à Patrick Bruel par exemple? Faut-il être un criminel avec un nom et une classe sociale différente pour qu’un viol soit considéré grave et important? C’est tout ce que la France donne en guise de réponse par l’exercice de la pratique. Que ce soit dans les médias ou la Justice. La...

« les changements de pouvoir promis par l’administration américaine n’auront pas lieu en Russie et en Biélorussie, mais en Europe, où elle s’appuie sur les forces patriotiques de l’extrême droite, prêtes à prendre les commandes ». 🔖 https://nepassubir.fr/2026/05/30/pourquoi-cnews-diffuse-la-propagande-de-lempire-russe-de-poutine/🔗 https://rmendes.net/bookmarks/2026/05/30/quand-putin-investit-dans-les

En réponse à ceci Deuxième étape pour la France… Donner la même importance et la même visibilité à toutes les victimes plutôt que de favoriser les victimes de chanteurs, d’auteurs, de personnalités connues. La Justice française dort et ne se réveille que quand ses stars sont touchées. https://chardonsbleus.org Faut-il être victime d’une personnalité connue ou être d’une famille importante pour avoir le droit à la justice? 🔗 https://rmendes.net/notes/2026/05/30/66d97

Inspired by Dune’s Litany against Fear : I must not fear AI. Fear is the reputation-killer. Fear of being left behind drives institutions to replace judgment with automation. Fear of losing market share drives executives to trade trust for efficiency. Fear of missing the future drives them to abandon the very people who made them worth reading. I must not worship AI. AI is a tool, not a conscience. It can generate words, but not wisdom. It can mimic expertise, but not earn it. It...
