WP2Astro Plugin Converts Dying WordPress Sites into Static Astro Archives

0
·2 views

Hackers Hostel developed WP2Astro, a free, open-source WordPress plugin that converts a site into an Astro project and pushes it to GitHub. The tool keeps original URLs, permalinks, and archives intact, and redirects legacy links such as ?p=123 and changed slugs. It copies the theme's styling and uses an open-weight AI model, which can run locally, to rebuild the header, menu, and footer as an Astro layout. Dead plugin shortcodes are cleaned up or flagged in a conversion report, and outputs are validated before use. The stated goal is to preserve old websites as static pages that no longer depend on a server that could fail.

SafePay Campaign Pressures Critical Infrastructure; 30-Day Exposure Reduction Plan Outlined

A SafePay advisory reports that the threat actors have affected at least 600 organizations since August 2024, typically using valid accounts and exposed remote access. The campaign exploits five named CVEs and may delete or reset backup and recovery systems. The guidance proposes a 30-day plan for operators to build an asset inventory, tier systems by exposure, and patch affected Cisco, Veeam and SonicWall products. It also recommends tightening remote administration accounts, enforcing MFA, segmenting backup management, and testing restores. The plan notes that it cannot remove every risk but can establish a defensible baseline for future review.

Haunted 1998-style terminal runs a local Gemma 3 model for its ghostly replies

Ghost in the Machine is an open-source terminal styled like a 1998 shell, built for Hacktoberfest's Week 4 AI challenge. Users type commands such as cat or cd into a simulated filesystem, and a 'tenant' presence answers each one with a single whispered line. Those replies are generated live by Gemma 3 4B running locally through Ollama, so no data leaves the user's machine. The project is a single HTML file with no build step or dependencies, released under the MIT license. It is designed to be run locally with two commands, and it entered the challenge in the Best Use of Gemma category.

Ada: A Local Terminal Tool That Diagnoses Command Failures in Lovelace's Voice

A developer built Ada, an open-source terminal utility that stays silent when commands succeed but intervenes when they fail with a non-zero exit code. It scrubs sensitive data such as access keys, tokens, and personal file paths before any analysis. The diagnosis is generated locally by Google's Gemma 2 (2B) model, so no data leaves the machine. The tool presents its explanation in a stylized 1840s voice inspired by Ada Lovelace, and suggests a copyable fix. The project was created for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge and is published on GitHub.

Dead Air: a fictional shortwave app that runs a small AI model on your own CPU

Dead Air is an open-source fictional shortwave radio that generates short transmissions from a place, an unsettling detail, and a mood the user supplies. The app runs SmolLM2-1.7B-Instruct, an Apache-2.0 open-weight model, locally in the browser-facing setup via Transformers.js and ONNX Runtime on the CPU, with no cloud fallback. Its server listens only on loopback, validates inputs, and limits each response to 140 tokens with one generation at a time. The author found the 1.7B model followed prompts more closely than the 360M version, though generation on their machine took about 28 seconds including model loading. The project is MIT-licensed and documents its limitations, including the model's tendency to repeat or cut off mid-sentence.
