Mumbai to Replace 112-Year-Old British-Era Bridge with Double-Decker Overbridge

Mumbai is set to demolish several aging British-era bridges and replace them with four new road overbridges. Among the most notable is the 112-year-old Elphinstone Bridge, which will make way for the city's first double-decker road overbridge. The infrastructure upgrade is aimed at easing traffic congestion across key corridors in the city. The move reflects Mumbai's broader push to modernize its colonial-era transport infrastructure to meet growing urban demands.

New Open-Source PHP SDK Simplifies Access to Token Terminal Crypto Data API

A new open-source package called tokenterminal-php has been released for PHP 8.1+ developers, offering a fully-typed client for the Token Terminal API v2. The SDK addresses common integration challenges such as rate limiting, HTTP 308 redirects for renamed projects, and partial API response failures. It covers all 24 documented Token Terminal endpoints, enabling developers to build financial dashboards, trading tools, and market research platforms without writing extensive boilerplate code. Token Terminal is an institutional-grade provider of fundamental financial metrics across blockchains and decentralized applications. The SDK is designed to keep data pipelines resilient and maintainable by abstracting away underlying HTTP transport complexities.

Developer Creates Interactive Ramen Bowl Animation Using Pure CSS

A developer on DEV Community has built an animated ramen bowl scene titled 'Steam & Soul' using primarily CSS with minimal JavaScript. The project is described as 100% hand-coded, showcasing CSS art techniques. A small JavaScript snippet enables user interaction, allowing the animation to restart when the scene element is clicked. The code removes and re-adds an 'active' CSS class to replay the animation sequence. The project highlights the creative potential of CSS for building visually expressive, interactive web art.

Go developer solves RAM exhaustion in video server using Linux FADV_DONTNEED syscall

Engineers building RUSEON-core, a zero-copy video streaming server, discovered their 32 GB production server was nearly out of RAM within an hour of handling 100 camera streams. The culprit was Linux's OS page cache, which silently cached large volumes of fMP4 video archive data being written to disk. Common fixes like periodically running drop_caches or relying on the OOM killer were unsuitable for a fault-tolerant system. The team resolved the issue in Go by first calling Sync() to flush dirty pages to disk, then invoking the Fadvise syscall with the FADV_DONTNEED flag to instruct the kernel to release those cached pages. This 'write and forget' approach kept RAM usage in check without destabilising the server or requiring manual intervention.

Vercel Sandbox Offers Isolated MicroVMs to Safely Run AI-Generated Code

Vercel Sandbox runs untrusted code, including AI-generated scripts, inside ephemeral Firecracker microVMs that are fully isolated from the host application's process, filesystem, and environment variables. Each sandbox is created on demand, executes the required commands, and is discarded afterward, preventing any persistent access or state leakage. Unlike running code via child_process or eval within a Vercel Function, the sandbox approach ensures that compromised or malicious code cannot access API keys, database URLs, or other secrets. Developers can configure per-sandbox timeouts and CPU limits, and expose running servers on public URLs for live previews of AI-generated components. Vercel Sandbox is intended specifically for untrusted, externally authored code rather than first-party build or CI pipelines.

Guillotine vs Free Nesting: Choosing the Right Sheet Cutting Method

When laying out rectangular parts on sheet material, two main cutting strategies exist: guillotine cutting, which uses full straight cuts across the entire sheet, and free nesting, which places parts more flexibly to reduce waste. Guillotine cutting suits machines like panel saws and table saws where strip-based workflows and simple cut sequences are prioritized over maximum material efficiency. Free nesting can minimize offcuts but may introduce complex or awkward cuts depending on the equipment being used. The choice should factor in material cost, machine capability, and the operator's ability to execute a safe cutting sequence. A free browser tool called CutListEngine allows users to compare both methods using the same inputs without requiring a signup or file upload.

How to Choose the Right Linux Distribution Based on Your Use Case

No single Linux distribution suits every user, as the best choice depends on individual needs, experience level, and intended tasks. Beginners are advised to start with user-friendly options like Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or Zorin OS, while developers may prefer Fedora or Arch Linux for access to cutting-edge tools. Gamers can turn to distributions such as Bazzite or Pop!_OS, and cybersecurity professionals commonly rely on Kali Linux or Parrot OS for penetration testing. Server administrators are pointed toward stable options like Debian and Rocky Linux, while lightweight distributions such as Lubuntu and Linux Lite can breathe new life into older hardware. Experts recommend basing the choice on actual usage requirements rather than popularity, and suggest testing options via a Live USB before committing to a permanent installation.

Jharkhand CID Report Exposes 2024 JSSC Paper Leak Amid Ranchi Protests

Jharkhand's CID has released a report investigating the 2024 Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission (JSSC) examination paper leak. The report has surfaced during a period of large-scale protests taking place in Ranchi over the alleged irregularities. According to findings, around 120 answers were reportedly circulated via WhatsApp ahead of the examination. The leak has triggered significant public outrage, with demonstrators demanding accountability from authorities.

Cloudflare silently blocked ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude bots for three weeks

A developer discovered that Cloudflare's 'Block AI Bots' security setting had been silently returning HTTP 403 errors to AI search crawlers — including OpenAI's SearchBot, PerplexityBot, and Claude-SearchBot — for three weeks, while standard search engines like Googlebot passed through unaffected. Because the blocks occurred at the edge before requests reached the origin server, Apache access logs recorded nothing, making the problem invisible to conventional monitoring tools. The developer only uncovered the issue by manually simulating each bot's user agent with curl against the live public URL, bypassing local network shortcuts. A secondary problem was also found: fail2ban was misreading Cloudflare relay IPs as malicious clients and banning them, which periodically caused HTTP 521 errors for all visitors. The developer responded by building a daily automated crawler check that probes the real public URL across 16 user agents and alerts on any unexpected status change.

VNSGU TYBCA Sem 5 Linux Practical Question Papers for Oct/Nov 2025 Released

Veer Narmad South Gujarat University (VNSGU) has released Linux (UNIX) practical question paper sets A through H for TYBCA Semester 5 students ahead of the October/November 2025 examinations. The papers cover a range of shell scripting topics including arithmetic operations, string handling, file operations, and command-line argument validation. Each set presents distinct tasks such as calculating compound interest, checking palindromes, processing text files, and finding recently modified files using commands like grep, find, sed, and wc. Students are advised to practice writing scripts from scratch rather than memorising solutions, ensuring familiarity with core bash syntax and input validation techniques. The question papers are intended to help candidates systematically prepare for the practical component of the Linux (UNIX) subject examination.

How to Serve Markdown to AI Agents from Hugo Sites on Cloudflare Pages Free Plan

AI agents and LLM crawlers prefer plain Markdown over HTML, but static hosting platforms like Cloudflare Pages cannot perform content negotiation based on request headers. A developer has outlined a two-part solution using Hugo and Cloudflare Pages that works entirely within the free tier. At build time, Hugo is configured to generate a companion .md file alongside every index.html using its output formats feature. At request time, a lightweight Cloudflare Pages Function reads the Accept header and serves the pre-built Markdown file when a client requests text/markdown, leaving browser requests unaffected. Because the Markdown is pre-rendered as a static file, the function does minimal processing and stays well within free-tier usage limits.
