0
·4 views

Anthropic released Claude Code 2.1.311 on October 26, 2026 and 2.1.312 the following day, neither introducing a new model. The 2.1.311 update maps the ultrathink keyword to xhigh effort on several named models via the API, and can raise effort mid-turn. The 2.1.312 release lets users set an effort level for cloud routines in the model picker and renames the usage window to "5-hour limit." Together the releases include 78 bug fixes, mostly affecting subagents, hooks, and VS Code reliability. The update also caps prompt and agent hooks at 24 concurrent runs per session and improves the guidance shown for "Connection dropped" errors.

How to Run a Telegram Bot 24/7 on a VPS with systemd Auto-Restart

A guide explains how to keep a Telegram bot running continuously on a virtual private server instead of a laptop that may sleep. The setup uses Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04 with a dedicated non-root user, a Python virtual environment, and a token stored in a restricted environment file. A systemd service configured with Restart=always and a five-second delay ensures the bot restarts after crashes or server reboots. The article also covers monitoring logs with journalctl, deploying updates, and choosing between long polling and webhooks. It warns against common mistakes such as running as root, hard-coding tokens, and running duplicate bot instances.

SideQuest Streamlines Sideloading on Meta Quest, Opening Path for AmblyoPunch Vision Game

SideQuest has made sideloading apps onto Meta Quest headsets a more direct process, bypassing Meta's official store. The change is aimed at independent developers who previously faced technical hurdles and version-management risks. The article highlights AmblyoPunch, a Quest game by Seven Sportz that applies dichoptic training to help treat amblyopia, a condition affecting about 3% of people. The game runs through four structured phases designed to strengthen the weaker eye and improve binocular fusion and 3D vision.

Undefined Engineering Boundaries Drive Ownership Chaos, Slower Incident Response and Burnout

An article on DEV Community argues that unclear ownership of systems, rather than poor code or junior engineers, is the root cause of engineering chaos. Teams often inherit sprawling legacy tools and integrations because no one formally declared them out of scope. This ambiguity lengthens incident response, as alerts bounce between teams while no one clearly holds responsibility. Senior and Staff engineers also lose much of their time to ad-hoc requests and unowned systems, hurting strategic work. The author recommends a tiered "will do / will not do" charter, ownership tied to a service catalog, and leadership support for saying no to scope creep.

Self-hosted AI models may be reachable across your network; a free read-only checker can test for it

The author, who works at Munim, Inc., warns that common setup defaults can expose locally run AI models, such as those served by Ollama or LM Studio, to other devices or the internet. They describe a free, open-source, read-only checker that reads local configuration and running services and then produces a report without changing anything. The tool flags frequent problems, including model servers bound to all network interfaces instead of localhost, web interfaces lacking authentication, and software versions with published security advisories. The checker reports exact settings and fix commands for the user to apply manually rather than altering the system itself. The author also mentions an optional paid review service by the company, which is separate from the free tool.
