MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications. Just as USB-C provides a standardized way to connect your devices to various peripherals and accessories, MCP provides a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools. ​ https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction https://www.ai-souken.com/article/claude-mcp-overview https://github.com/appcypher/awesome-mcp-servers?tab=readme-ov-file

I just wrote a huge post as a follow-up to my TODO, where I compared different backup service implementation options. Then a sudden miss-click ruined the whole post 😠

Anyway, the winner is RabbitMQ. Powerful and feature-full message broker.

The honorable mention is cheek. The service allows to define “commands” and “corn” like timings in a yaml format with the features that include UI dashboard, rety of failing tasks and webhooks.

On a side note, I would recommend anyone to read https://zguide.zeromq.org/docs/chapter1/

As always, I have lots of fun discovering new things. The document above mentions another author’s book called “Culter & Empire: Digital Revolution”. https://github.com/cultureandempire/cultureandempire.github.io

Someone mentioned 4th Chapter, and it looked quite interesting. I’ll just leave it here:

Once upon a time, there was a great Empire that ruled the known world. It owned all the lands, the wealth beneath, and the wealth above. The Empire was run by an old, faceless society of criminals. It ran on cheap oil and cheap blood. It smashed its opponents in the name of Peace. It burned their lands in the name of Reconstruction. It enslaved them in the name of Freedom. It built massive castles of edict and punishment to govern its populations, and it fed them a river of pap to keep them docile. It was powerful, invincible, and paranoid.

Far away, in a different place, a civilization called Culture had taken seed and was growing. It owned little except a magic spell called Knowledge. The Culture ran on light, and built little bubbles of fire and hope. It seduced its critics by giving them what they wanted, no matter how unusual. And as it pulled in more people, it grew and built more of its bubbles.

When the Empire first encountered the Culture, it was puzzled. There were no armies to crush, no statesmen to corrupt and recruit, no castles to loot and burn. So it ignored the Culture and its pretty bubbles, hoping it would go away.

The Culture grew, and grew faster than you could follow. In less than a generation, it had started to build cities, impossibly beautiful spheres of fire and hope, massive, and yet gentler than the breeze. More people quietly left the castles to move to the cities of the Culture, where they too learned to build their own bubbles of flames and joy.

The Culture seemed harmless. However, the Empire depended on its vassal masses. If the masses left to go to the Culture’s cities, the Empire would starve and die. Total War was inevitable. Both the Empire and the Culture knew it, and prepared for it in very different ways.

The Empire attacked. It tore down the cities closest to it and told the Culture, stop building or we will come back. And for each city it burnt, a hundred others sprang up. Culture shrugged and said, “We enjoy building new cities.” So the Empire sent its infiltrators and spies into the cities to try to corrupt them. And the Culture laughed, clapped its hands, and exclaimed, “We do much worse to ourselves every day. Look, we enjoy this game!” And it opened its hands. And there lay some of the Empire’s darkest and deepest secrets, for all to see.

So the Empire, the cold finger of fear touching its heart, smiled its most sincere smile and welcomed the Culture into its lands. And then it began to erect a far wall so wide and so high that it could cover all the cities of the Culture in darkness. If the Culture ran on light, thought the Empire, then it would destroy light.

Funny how when looking for this book, Culture and Imperialism pops up. Probably also worth reading :)

The above should have been a separate post, but anyway.

This happened to be Dropbox. Having Googl Drive compromised would be a disaster xD

Still can not forget my visit to Yosemite National Park 😭
