A friend of mine got his phone stolen, and apparently that wasnβt a good enough excuse to stop replying to my Telegram messages
So I built TeleLite , a small, self-hosted Telegram client for feature phones.
The problem is that just telling someone to βuse Telegram Webβ doesnβt really work on these phones. Modern Telegram Web relies heavily on JavaScript and a pretty heavy web app, which is a lot to ask from an old Java phone or a low-power device.
You can access Telegram through:
A lightweight web client
A J2ME .jar app for old Java phones
A KaiOS app(not tested because the emulator didnt work well)
Itβs text-only, lightweight, and designed for those βmy smartphone is lost/stolen/brokenβ situations god forbid π
It might actually come in handy someday, so take it, self-host it, break it, improve it, whatever.
Would love to know what you guys think π

Anthropic has begun embedding invisible, machine-readable watermarks directly into text generated by its Claude AI models, a move driven by new transparency requirements under the EU AI Act.
The company detailed the system in a support page published this month, confirming that Claude models launched on or after August 2, 2026 support machine-readable marking from launch.
Should AI-generated content be labeled?
β€οΈ β Yes, absolutely!
π₯ β No, it's useless

Your energy is limited, and the wrong person can cost you far more than your time. They can drain your peace, your focus, your confidence, and your patience pieces of you that you canβt easily get back. Thatβs what makes investing in the wrong person so expensive...fr you donβt just lose energy giving to them, you lose energy recovering from them. Be intentional with where you pour yourself, because not everyone deserves access to the version of you that took so much work to build.

I built a 90-day Backend Mastery roadmap for developers who want to go deeper into backend engineering.
It covers 17 systems across Linux, networking, Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, system design, distributed systems, Kafka, Kubernetes, cloud, CI/CD, observability, security, and more.
It includes curated resources, hands-on labs, checklists, and a day-by-day plan.
