XDeck: free open-source Chrome extension brings multi-column deck layout back to X

·4 views

The author built XDeck, a free and open-source Chrome extension, after TweetDeck was folded into a subscription product called X Pro. The tool turns X into a multi-column view where each column is a live x.com page that uses the user's normal login. It adds features such as filters that truly hide posts, unread counts, keyword alerts, timed refresh, and a reading pane. Users can also save posts into collections, export them, and use keyboard shortcuts. XDeck does not use X's API or any server, and it stores all settings and saved posts locally in the browser.

Stack3 Security Uses TigerGraph to Link Repo, Package, and Wallet Threats

Stack3 Security is a Web3 security platform built at Hacker House Goa for the TigerGraph Open Innovation track. It aims to connect threat signals that are usually investigated separately, such as malicious repositories, suspicious packages, phishing websites, and risky wallet requests. A VS Code extension clones and scans public GitHub repositories in quarantine without executing their code, checking for auto-run configurations, exposed secrets, and risky npm dependencies. A Chrome extension inspects suspicious websites and intercepts wallet requests before they reach MetaMask, while degrading gracefully if unavailable. A central dashboard offers scanning, authentication, and a one-hop threat graph view that shows connected threat intelligence.

Keep etcd peer and client certificate trust separate before scaling a cluster

etcd is a durable control store used by many Kubernetes and platform deployments, and its peer and client connections access the same state. Because a certificate authenticating a cluster member can act with more authority than an ordinary client certificate, treating them as one broad TLS population weakens the cluster boundary. The guidance recommends separating them through distinct certificate profiles, subject alternative names, issuance policies, and allowed peer names, even when a single CA is used. Operators should verify TLS in both directions on every member, map each client certificate to a specific workload with least-privilege access, and test that peer and client certificates are rejected at the wrong endpoints.

AutoDAgger lets compact robot policies learn from a teacher with far less data

Researchers introduced AutoDAgger, a method that recovers teacher trajectories during a student policy's own rollouts instead of in a separate data-collection stage. It collects recovery data more than twice as fast as the human-monitored HG-DAgger and removes the need for a person to supervise the process. Using an autonomous reward model to trigger teacher takeovers, a student policy rose from a baseline score of 27.8 to 63.9 after 30 episodes and 77.8 after 90 episodes. The TILDE approach reportedly outperformed all evaluated baselines on three manipulation tasks, though the study tested only those tasks and assumed a reliable reward signal. Its robustness under sparse teacher interventions or noisy rewards remains unresolved.

kanna-di: A Compile-Time Go DI Tool as a Successor to google/wire

Google's wire is no longer accepting new features, leaving Go developers looking for an alternative for compile-time dependency injection. The author introduces kanna-di, which generates plain Go code without runtime imports, like wire. Unlike wire, it requires no provider registration: developers mark a container struct with a //kanna:container annotation, and the tool infers constructors from each field's type and resolves their parameters recursively. Interface implementations are specified with a di:"with=..." tag, and any non-injectable setup, such as opening a database, is written by hand in the composition root. Running go generate then produces a di_gen.go file containing a newServer function that wires all dependencies together.
