Stanislas — Developer and tinkerer
Recent content on Stan's blog
stanislas.blogStanislas documents what he builds — cloud coding agents, terminal UIs, macOS apps, home automation systems, VPN configurations — with the detail of someone who wants you to be able to follow along and build it yourself. The blog spans Rust, Go, DevOps, and networking, unified by a tinkerer's drive to understand how things work by actually making them. He also maintains a separate photography portfolio, adding a creative dimension to an already broad range.

Building a self-hosted cloud coding agent
I’ve been building Netclode recently and it was a lot of fun! There are a lot of interesting parts, so I thought it would be nice to share a bit. The use case #A lot of ideas for my projects come up when I’m away from the keyboard: when running, commuting, travelling, etc. I usually write things down in Notion, create reminders, or brainstorm with an LLM on the go. The problem with brainstorming with ChatGPT for example is that I need to give context. So I give the GitHub repo URL, b...
Building a TUI to index and search my coding agent sessions
This is the story of how fast-resume came to life and evolved, as I was trying to search and resume my coding agent sessions more easily across different local CLI agents. There should have been a video here but your browser does not seem to support it. The problem with resuming sessions #I use many coding agents these days: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, and more. Sometimes I remember that I, or the agent, mentioned something specific in a previous session, a...
Building a macOS app to know when my Mac is thermal throttling
This is the story about how I built MacThrottle. I’ve been very happy with my M2 MacBook Air for the past few years. However, when using an external display, especially a very demanding one like a 4K 120Hz display, I’ve noticed it started struggling more. Since it lacks fans, you can’t hear it struggling, but you can feel it as everything becomes very slow or unresponsive: that’s when thermal throttling kicks in. I know it’s thermal throttling because I can see in i...
Migrating my web analytics from Matomo to Umami
Quickly after starting French blog in 2014, I switched from Google Analytics to Piwik for my web analytics. It’s been since renamed Matomo in 2018. It’s been working pretty well for more than 10 years, and I’m thankful for the creator and maintainers. Finding a modern alternative to Matomo #In 2022 I started using Umami as well, with the intention of replacing Matomo. Matomo has barely evolved in terms of UI, and it feels pretty dated now. Umami, in comparison, has a much more...
How Claude Code is helping me as an open source maintainer
10 years ago I was really into privacy and encryption, and I wanted to run my own VPN server. At the time, OpenVPN was the standard open-source VPN software, and that’s how openvpn-install came to be. Then WireGuard came along, and I created another script: wireguard-install. Over the years, these projects have been quite popular: currently 15k and 10k stars respectively, tens of thousands of repo visits per month! The backlog problem # The thing is, all these people have many...
