I created a simple mailing program; pymailer

# What My Project Does

pymailer is a simple program the uses SMTP and IMAP to connect to your gmail account to send and fetch emails.

# Target Audience

No one in particular, I made this mainly because I need it for my other projects. I just thought it would be cool to share.

# Comparison

I'm sure there are many mailing programs written in python and other languages but I think mine is pretty simple and easy to understand.

My first steps with Playwright

In my previous company, I developed a batch job that tracked metrics across social media, such as Twitter, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Bluesky, Reddit, etc. Then I realized I could duplicate it for my own "persona". The problem is that some media don’t provide an HTTP API for the metrics I want.

I searched for a long time but found no API access for the metrics above. I scraped the metrics manually every morning for a long time and finally decided to automate this tedious task. Here’s what I learned.

MStock: The Tool I Built to Track Macy’s Restocks 🛍️

Hey everyone 👋



I wanted to share a personal project I made: MStock. I kept running into the same problem—I wanted multiple items from Macy’s that were out of stock, and I was tired of constantly checking for updates. So, I built this tool to notify me the moment something comes back in stock!



What My Project Does

MStock is a Python tool that:

• Monitors Macy’s Product Pages: Tracks multiple items at once.

• Sends Notifications: Alerts me via email or SMS (through iMessage on macOS).

• Provides Product Details: Like price, ratings, and reviews, so I don’t miss out on key info.

• Handles Failures Gracefully: Uses smart caching to keep product info even if a check fails.


Target Audience

If you frequently shop at Macy’s and hate missing out on restocks, MStock is perfect for you. It’s especially useful for anyone tracking multiple products or looking for a hands-off way to monitor stock status.



Why I Built It

There were a few items I really wanted, but they were sold out for weeks. I didn’t want to miss them when they came back, so I made MStock to handle the tracking for me. Now, I get a notification as soon as something is available again, and

MathSpell v0.1.0: Expanded Features and Test cases!

Hello everyone!


A couple of weeks ago I shared my first ever python package MathSpell \- a context-aware number-to-word conversion library built on the `spaCy` and `num2words` python library. After receiving valuable feedback I started working on some improvements. I really thought I could update it in a day, but days turned into weeks. Well, I've released an update with v0.1.0.

# What’s New in v0.1.0?

Expanded Features:

More Contexts Handled:
Quantities: "5 m/s" is now "five meter per second". Used the `unit_parse` library (which also uses `pint` under the hood) to achieve this.
Currencies: "$3.25" converts to "three dollars and twenty five cents".
Exponential Notation: "3e8" becomes "three times ten to the power of eight".
Fractions: "1/2" converts to "one over two". Also preprocessed to avoid datetime format (dd/mm/yyyy) confusion with the mathematical division sign.
Test Cases:
Added 26 new test cases with edge cases\~
I also added docstrings for better understanding!



# Target Audience:

Mainly me. But I was really happy to see that it was positively received last time! The main use case of this library is for data preprocessing tasks for applications such as

Flask - Hosting - Requests

Hey, I am currently using a simple Flask app with a basic database connection to store various inputs (spread across 5 tables). The app also includes an admin login with user authentication and database queries for logging in.

The app is hosted on a VPS with 2 vCores and 2GB of RAM using Docker, Nginx, and Gunicorn.

This project originated during my studies and is now being used for the first time. Approximately 200 requests (in the worst case, simultaneously) are expected.

I would like to test how many requests the server can handle and determine whether 2 vCores and 2GB of RAM are sufficient for handling \~200 requests. I’ve noticed there are various tools for load testing, but since the VPS is hosted by a third-party provider, I would need to request permission before conducting such tests (even if the load is minimal).

Perhaps I am overthinking this, as 200 requests might not actually be a significant load at all ? If you need any additional information, feel free to ask, I didn’t want to go into every tiny detail here.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

IP banning followup. My site is now being continuously scraped by robots.txt violating bots.

TL;DR: I need advice on:

How to implement a badbot honeypot.

How to implement an "are you human" check on account creation.

Any idea on why this is happening all of a sudden.

---

I posted a few days ago about banning a super racist IP, and implemented the changes. Since then there has been a wild amount of webscraping being done by a ton of IPs that are not displaying a proper user agent. I have no idea whether this is connected.

It may be that "Owler (ows.eu/owler)" is responsible, as it is the only thing that displays a proper useragent, and occationally checks Robots.txt, but the sheer numbers of bots hitting the site at the same time clearly violates the robots file, and I've since disallowed Owler's user agent, but it continues to check robots.txt.

These bots are almost all coming from "Hetzner Online GmbH" while the rest are all Tor exit nodes. I'm banning these IP ranges as fast as I can, but I think I need to automate it some how.

Does anyone have a good way to gather all the offending IP's without actually collecting normal user traffic? I'm tempted to just write a honeypot to collect robots.txt violating IP's, and just

Magnetron is a minimalist machine learning framework built entirely from scratch.

What My Project Does



Magnetron is a minimalist machine learning framework built entirely from scratch. It’s meant to be to PyTorch what MicroPython is to CPython—compact, efficient, and easy to hack on. Despite having only 48 operators at its core, Magnetron supports cutting-edge ML features such as multithreading with dynamic scaling. It automatically detects and uses the most optimal vector runtime (SSE, AVX, AVX2, AVX512, and various ARM variants) to ensure performance across different CPU architectures, all meticulously hand-optimized. We’re actively working on adding more high-impact examples, including LLaMA 3 inference and a simple NanoGPT training loop.

GitHub: https://github.com/MarioSieg/magnetron

Target Audience

• ML Enthusiasts & Researchers who want a lightweight, hackable framework to experiment with custom operators or specialized use cases.

• Developers on constrained systems or anyone seeking minimal overhead without sacrificing modern ML capabilities.

• Performance-conscious engineers interested in exploring hand-optimized CPU vectorization that adjusts automatically to your hardware.

Comparison

• PyTorch/TensorFlow: Magnetron is significantly lighter and easier to understand under-the-hood, making it ideal for experimentation and embedded systems. We don’t (yet) have the breadth of official libraries or the extensive community, but our goal is to deliver serious performance in a minimal package.

• Micro frameworks: While some smaller ML projects exist, Magnetron stands out by

D Understanding predictive coding networks

Hi all,

I'm trying to understand predictive coding networks like described in Rao & Ballard.

So far I understand that training the network is done through setting the input (and output if training is supervised) and first modifying the activity of the neurons to reduce prediction errors, then modifying the synaptic weights.

What I don't understand is that it seems the activity of a hidden layer "r" seems to be a function of the difference between the prediction and the input (see figure 1.b), it seems implied here that `r` is the product of the transposed weights U^(T) and the prediction error which confuse me : I understand that we want to propagate the prediction error to the next layer, but how can we minimize (I - f(Ur)) if r = U^(T) (I - f(Ur))?

I think I still haven't fully grasped the overall architecture and would really appreciate if someone could help.

How much would you guys charge for this? (My first paid gig)

Friend’s business is gonna hire me to automate some admin work. Wants to automate getting their invoices for current day from all ~20 of their vendors portal then download and print them. Should save 30 minutes 3 times a week and he says his personal hourly rate is $60 so if I’m saving him $4500/year in his time assuming 50 working weeks out of the year, is $1000 a fair price to charge him? He’s getting his time back for a fraction of the cost and I’m getting $100/hr assuming roughly 10 hours of work.
