I've been working on Osquil, a schema-aware workbench for osquery. The first version is close, and before I publish it I want feedback from people who actually use osquery.

Free Browser-Based File Converter Built with WebAssembly: No Uploads Required
Most online file converters have a dirty secret: your files get uploaded to a server you don't control, processed by someone else's machine, and sometimes stored for longer than you'd expect.

Everyone says AI lets one person do a team's work. True — but I think most people draw the wrong conclusion from it. Ten years ago, "being able to build the thing" was itself a moat.
