Check Price and Token Limits in ZapGPT with OpenAI Provider

ZapGPT is a CLI and API tool to interact with LLMs like OpenAI, Groq, Claude, Perplexity, and more. If you’re using the OpenAI provider, you can easily check the price per token for each supported model — critical info if you’re optimizing for cost or want to dynamically switch models based on available context or budget.

Also, you can use the OpeNRouter provider to check the length of context if you are using some huge context like a big file as input :).

How Vim Can Make a Hacker’s Life Easier with Macros and Registers

Why Every Hacker Should Master Vim Macros and Registers

If you’re deep into hacking, pentesting, or security research, you know that automation is key. Repetitive tasks like manipulating payloads, encoding/decoding strings, or tweaking shell scripts can become tedious. Enter Vim macros and registers! These powerful features let you record and replay keystrokes, making your workflow insanely efficient.

No that I dont use IDE’s the likes of Visual Studio code (sometimes I do). However they can never match the raw power of vi/vim/nvim or any of the vim family of editors. To reap the maximum benefit, you have to learn the basics of using the editor in normal mode ( which is by the not the editing mode).
