The LLMs that Cursor uses are not as familiar with the new syntax for Svelte 5, SvelteKit 2, or Tailwind CSS 4 as they are for each framework's older versions. These Cursor rules fill in those gaps. Place these files inside the `.cursor/rules` directory.
# Svelte 5
This project uses the newer Svelte 5 instead of the more common Svelte 4.
Version 5 comes with an overhauled syntax and reactivity system. While it may look different at first, you'll soon notice many similarities. This guide goes over the changes in detail and shows you how to upgrade. Along with it, we also provide information on _why_ we did these changes.
## Reactivity syntax changes
At the heart of Svelte 5 is the new runes API. Runes are basically compiler instructions that inform Svelte about reactivity. Syntactically, runes are functions starting with a dollar-sign.

How to use VLC to watch m3u8 playlist at URL with custom HTTP referrer and user agent

Imagine this: it's Sunday afternoon at 1pm, and you want to watch some live content. But you don't have a TV subscription. So you do a little Googling, and eventually you find yourself on a sketchy website where you can watch the content you're looking for. But while the website has a video player, it's surrounded by advertisements, and probably a cryptominer too. You don't want this website eating your CPU for 2 hours while you're watching your favorite Sunday afternoon content.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could watch that video in VLC instead? Then you can close the sketchy website and still watch your content. It's like having your cake and taking a bite of it too!

Here's how you do it:

  1. Capture the m3u8 request in dev tools. Open the site (or just the iframe, if possible) in DevTools and click "play." Search the network tab for m3u8 and grab the first request.

  2. Run VLC with command line flags to set the User Agent and Referrer. From the request body, you need to copy the requested URL,

Crippling Facebook

Facebook works with advertisers to target you. These instructions are one of the many ways to begin crippling that relationship. When AI targeting is crippled, your psychosecurity improves :)

A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Automating Daily Reports, because fuck it, really...

Each day at our company, developers are required to document their activities, painstakingly jotting down their daily work and future plans. A monotonous chore that I just really dislike.

So now, there's a scribe for that :
