a friend and I never travel without a board game. over the years, we changed so many rules that I ended up making one of our own.

linglong is a strategy duel inspired by chinese craftsmanship. build your workshops, compete for the court, outwit your rival.

@meller_ai @rileybrown caffeinate -i covers idle sleep, not closing the lid. i make @kilobat_app: it keeps the mac awake only while claude code or codex are actually working, lid closed too (opt-in helper), then lets it sleep

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@ShakeelHashim great use of claude. i make @kilobat_app, and its free cli has `kilobat why`: it checks wi-fi, vpn/proxy, dns, rules, the connection and the server's answer, then names the layer that broke. there's an mcp tool for it too, so claude doesn't have to guess

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@LearnOpenGLES the gotcha: caffeinate doesn't survive closing the laptop lid. i make @kilobat_app, it can keep the mac awake lid-closed while agents or downloads run, and still lets it sleep at your battery floor, when hot or after a time limit

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@kennethreitz42 worth ruling out interference first: 2.4 ghz wi-fi and airdrop scanning share the radio with bluetooth on macs. i make @kilobat_app, it watches for those while bluetooth audio plays and says what to change. if it's clean, likely a macos bug

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@Ye_shuai2001 if mobile data works on the phone but the mac fails even on that same hotspot, it's usually something on the mac: a vpn, a content filter, custom dns or a network extension. i make @kilobat_app, it shows where each app and each AI agent connects, and which leg fails.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@Kevin13Yeung same wish. until then the hotspot pain is mostly the mac treating it like home wifi and syncing everything. i make @kilobat_app, a menu bar app that shows data per app and flags the network as metered so it lasts outside.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@aryan_tr04 @airtelindia laptops treat a hotspot like home wifi, so updates, cloud sync and backups go flat out. if it's a mac: i make @kilobat_app, a menu bar app that shows which app ate the data and can cap the hotspot network.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@illyism i make @kilobat_app, which has a keep awake mode that holds the mac up only while claude code, codex, cursor agent etc. are busy, and tells you if the network drops mid-run. also has a free cli + mcp server if you want the agent to check the network itself.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@SpeaksInTruth nice setup. if the macbook ever starts chewing through those 85 gb: i make @kilobat_app, a mac menu bar app that shows data per app and lets you set a budget on the hotspot network so background stuff can't blow the cap.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@workby9offpast5 that's mostly macos not knowing it's on a hotspot. i make @kilobat_app, a mac app where you mark a network as metered and it blocks updaters and sync apps there, with a data budget that stops new connections when it runs out.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@Brit_in_Italy @Apple before buying, worth checking whether it's the mac or the connection. i make @kilobat_app, a mac app that gives each teams/zoom call a report card: froze or not, and why (wi-fi, another app, your router, or the mac itself). free tier covers it.

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@eledure love it! been just playing around with texture on my new personal site too https://t.co/ML7Y6653W4

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@workby9offpast5 same! in the meantime, i built Kilobat’s Travel mode for this: it blocks apps you haven’t allowed on your hotspot. https://t.co/QivTuzGOiw

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@johnciannello @Apple have you tried pausing AirDrop’s wireless link? i built a low-latency test into Kilobat Pro for Wi-Fi spikes like this: https://t.co/QivTuzHm84

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@manuelmaly got annoyed with this too, so i built Kilobat to track network drops, debug where the issue lies each time this happens, and also keep a Mac awake while agents work https://t.co/QivTuzHm84

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@maro_aca @OpenAI @OpenAIDevs @thsottiaux got frustrated with this as well, so i built Kilobat to track network drops, debug where the issue lies each time this happens, and also keep a Mac awake while agents work. check whether the drops line up with those failed runs: https://t.co/QivTuzGOiw

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@BigBalli cheers for the heads up! i built Kilobat and use CoreWLAN with location permission to get Wi-Fi names in the app: https://t.co/QivTuzHm84

[Philip Seifi 飛駿 @seifip]

@Nickvnbvd @coreyhainesco gmta! i built a similar toggle into Kilobat too, to keep the Mac awake while AI agents are working ☕️ https://t.co/QivTuzHm84

It began with tea.

I have spent much of my life in the Chinese-speaking world: home in Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan, seasons in mainland China and Singapore. Tea was always on the table. In time I followed it to the source, spending whole afternoons with farmers in the hills of Wuyishan. Then I went to see who made the cups.

A friend and I never travel without a board. Some games are played to win; ours is played to keep playing. Over the years we changed so many rules that we needed a game of our own. So I made one, for the pleasure of sitting across from someone you know well, and still being surprised by their next move.
