Project: https://quven.tv/ Security model: https://quven.tv/security/ For the last 18 months, I have been building Quven, a self-hosted media server for personal movie, TV, and documentary libraries. I started with a seemingly simple goal: let people keep their media on their own hardware while giving them a polished client experience. Playback quickly became the hardest part. A media server does not simply send a video file to a screen. It has to understand the source, the client, the network, and the user's choices, then select a playback path without making any of that complexity feel visible. These are some of the lessons I learned. 1. "Can this file play?" is the wrong question The real question is whether a particular client can play a particular combination of: container; video codec and profile; audio codec and channel layout; subtitle format; resolution, bitrate, and frame rate; HDR format; network conditions. A client might support the video codec but not the audio track. A browser might decode the video but require a different container. Enabling an image-based subtitle can turn an otherwise direct-playable file into a video transcode. Playback compatibility is therefore not a boolean property of a file. It is a negotiation between the source and the active client. 2. Direct play should be the preferred outcome, not a promise Direct play preserves the original file and avoids unnecessary server work. When the client supports the selected combination, it is usually the best path. But forcing direct play at all costs produces a worse experience. A high-bitrate file may technically be supported while still exceeding the available connection. A selected subtitle might require burning into the video. A television may accept a container while rejecting one of its audio formats. The practical hierarchy I settled on is: Direct play when the complete source is compatible. Remux when the streams are compatible but the container is not. Transcode only what must chan

Anthropic leaped to a $47 billion revenue run rate by May, compared to $9 billion in 2025. It’s the kind of growth that Menlo Ventures’ Matt Murphy says he’s never seen in 25 years of investing, not in the internet wave, not in mobile, not in the first cloud boom. Menlo led Anthropic’s $500M Series D, and Murphy has had a front-row seat as the company went from a pre-revenue, […]

There's a romantic idea about Bitcoin's chain: that it's a wall of human messages. Proposals, memorials, "Vahe was here," pizza jokes, the occasional protest note pinned into the world's most expensive append-only log. I wanted to know if that was actually true. So I counted. Every OP_RETURN output, from the genesis block to block 958,893, no sampling. The answer is no, and it's not close. The one number All human-readable OP_RETURN text ever mined into Bitcoin: 3,827,227 outputs. Runes, one token protocol, in its own era: 171,114,058 OP_RETURN outputs. That's a ratio of 44.7 to 1 . One machine protocol, in a single two-year stretch, wrote about 45 times more to the chain than every human-readable message in Bitcoin's entire history combined. The evidence, per era I split the chain into four eras by block height, not by any label stored in my database. Height boundaries are canonical and anyone can check them against a node, so the result doesn't depend on trusting my extractor's tags. era height range boundary event pre-ordinals 0 – 767,429 before the first inscription ordinals 767,430 – 779,831 inscription #0 to BRC-20 deploy boom-brc20 779,832 – 839,999 BRC-20 ordi deploy to Runes runes 840,000 – 958,893 Runes launch at the halving Then I counted the full population of OP_RETURN outputs in each era. Human-readable text, Runes token messages, and binary blobs (Veriblock and OMNI proof-of-proof timestamping, mostly). era total OP_RETURN human text human % Runes Runes % binary binary % pre-ordinals 51,965,944 861,532 1.66% 7 0.00% 51,103,723 98.34% ordinals 261,767 32,189 12.30% 3 0.00% 229,544 87.69% boom-brc20 2,980,954 402,161 13.49% 40,251 1.35% 2,538,248 85.15% runes 177,474,762 2,531,345 1.43% 171,114,058 96.42% 3,828,604 2.16% Here's the honest twist When I started, I expected to find a fall. A golden human era that machines later ate. That's the clean story, and it's wrong. Look at the human % column again. Human text was never the majority of OP_RETURN. Not

It started with the dumbest problem in computing: I'm in bed, a movie is playing on my laptop across the room, and pausing it requires physically getting up . Every existing fix annoyed me in some way. Remote desktop apps are overkill and route through someone's cloud. Remote-control apps want accounts, subscriptions, or a native app install. I just wanted my phone to poke my laptop over my own Wi-Fi. So I built LapDeck : one Node.js process on the laptop, a PWA on the phone. Scan a QR code once and your phone becomes an app launcher, touchpad, keyboard, live screen viewer, and media/power remote. MIT licensed, plain JavaScript, no build step. This post is about the four problems that turned out to be more interesting than I expected. The architecture in one line Phone (PWA) ── WebSocket + MJPEG over Wi-Fi ──► Node.js agent (Windows) The agent serves the PWA, exposes a WebSocket for commands, and streams the screen as MJPEG. The protocol is deliberately dumb JSON envelopes — no protobuf, no RPC framework — so a native Android client or a CLI script can speak it in an afternoon. Windows-specific glue (volume, brightness, power, capture) is isolated in src/win/ , so a macOS/Linux port only has to reimplement that layer. Problem 1: mobile keyboards lie to you The obvious way to build a remote keyboard is to listen for keydown and forward key codes. On mobile, this collapses immediately: swipe typing, autocorrect, and IME composition don't emit per-key events. Android will happily tell you every key is keyCode 229 . The fix: stop listening to keys entirely. I keep a hidden input, and on every input event I diff the field's value against the last known state — compute the common prefix, then emit "delete N chars, type this string" to the laptop. Swipe-type a whole word and the laptop receives one clean text insertion. IME composition, autocorrect rewrites, emoji — all just become diffs. The lesson generalizes: on mobile web, treat the text field as the source of truth, n
