Three photos of pencil sketches went in, a flat-pack style assembly manual for a nest box with a camera compartment came out. What Claude Code read, what it fixed, and how to build the images and a multi-page PDF from the plan.
One, two, three or four? The number of OIDC client registrations an MCP server for OAuth-enabled IMAP/SMTP needs depends on the architecture. Five scenarios compared: token passthrough, single-client broker, split broker, IdP as authorization server with token exchange, and hosted providers.
How a small PAdES signing tool grew into slim-pdf: smartcards and KeePass as key sources, a ribbon GUI, form filling, OCR with each system’s own engine, text search, and why the license ended up as GPL-3.0.
How a document scanner without eSCL/AirScan led to slim-scan: a pure-Python WSD client, a GTK 4 desktop app, image clean-up on the scanned pages, a SANE backend, and two upstream bugs in the epsonds driver.

Besides the commercial models, openwebui offers two alternatives : Automatic1111 and ComfyUI. As ComfyUI is mentioned in several other places I decided to have a look at it.

While it is promoted for connecting tools/agents to LLM workflows there’s very little information about how things work on a technical basis. On most places So here’s my quest to answer those questions by writing a […]
