Claude Code vs. OpenAI Codex: How the Two AI Coding Agents Compare

Rosemary Tool Tunnels Network Traffic Over QUIC With Kernel-Level Transparency

Rosemary is an open-source networking tool that intercepts traffic at the kernel level and tunnels it over encrypted QUIC connections through a lightweight remote agent. It supports TCP, UDP, ICMP, and DNS without requiring proxy settings, TUN devices, or tools like proxychains. Users can route all traffic through a chosen remote host, enabling their local machine to behave as if it were on the remote network. The tool works across Linux, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD, and agents do not require root privileges. A web dashboard, REST API, and multi-hop pivoting support are also included, with traffic secured using AES-256-GCM encryption.

Anyone else noticing Claude being more stubborn, lying to you with high confidence that things the way he says to find out it's complete non sense?

Developer shares three methods to integrate external payments into Base44 apps

Oded, co-founder of payment platform UniPaaS, has outlined three documented ways to add external payment providers to apps built on the no-code platform Base44. The guide addresses a common builder frustration: built-in options like Stripe and Base44 Payments require verified business accounts in supported countries, leaving many developers unable to accept live payments. The most-requested feature on Base44's feedback board is support for additional payment providers beyond Stripe. The three integration methods covered are MCP connections for account setup during building, OpenAPI-based runtime integrations managed by a workspace admin, and backend functions for full developer control at runtime. The author discloses a conflict of interest, noting the examples use his own product, but states the Base44 integration surfaces work with any external payments API.

Why Paddle Rejects New Developers and What Payment Alternatives Exist in 2025

Paddle, a Merchant of Record (MoR) platform, frequently rejects first-time applicants because it assumes full legal liability for sales, making unproven solo developers a high-risk proposition. Common rejection triggers include no prior payment processing history, an incomplete website, identity mismatches between the applicant and domain owner, and restrictions on certain AI-related product categories. Developers who still need MoR benefits — such as automatic VAT/GST remittance across 100-plus jurisdictions — are advised to polish their site, clarify their business model, and reapply, or try alternatives like Lemon Squeezy. Those rejected due to being new rather than non-compliant can consider payment facilitator models, which allow immediate onboarding with transaction caps instead of upfront vetting. Fee structures also differ significantly: Paddle charges 5% plus $0.50 per transaction, which can equate to over 10% on low-value subscriptions, whereas some competitors offer flat-rate alternatives.
