One Prompt to Save 90% Context for Any MCP Server

Local Code Mode for MCP

Most MCP servers just wrap CRUD JSON APIs into tools — I did it too with scim-mcp and garmin-mcp-app. It works, until you realize a tool call dumps 50KB+ into context.

MCP isn't dead — but we need to design MCP tools with the context window in mind.

create an encrypted dvd with squashfs and luks

1. Create compressed squashfs image

Use mksquashfs to create a compressed image from a directory. Depending on how compressible the files are you could put on much more than 4.7 GB on a single disc.

mksquashfs /path/to/my/directory image.sqfs

You can use a different compression algorithm with e.g. -comp zstd or append multiple times to one archive to fill it up to almost the allowable size.

2. Reencrypt the image to wrap it in a LUKS container

move a repo to a mono repo maintaining git commit history

Seamlessly Migrate Your GitHub Repository with Full Commit History to a Monorepo

Migrating a standalone GitHub repository into a larger monorepo while preserving the invaluable commit history is a common challenge for development teams. This process allows for better code sharing, simplified dependency management, and streamlined builds.

The most effective and recommended method involves using the powerful git filter-repo tool, followed by a strategic merge into the destination monorepo.
