We had an incredible run with Zamund, RARBG and Arena. I’m still salty because I spent 15 years building up my ratio by repurposing old PCs as seed boxes even when I was a kid livi…

It’s quite upsetting that if you want a modern car so that you utilise the newest advances in safety, you have to consent to constant tracking, enshitification, subscription servic…

$0 in rewards for RCE on the Windows build servers is crazy. I understand he didn’t find an actual zero-day, only a configuration issue, but still. Imagine the global havoc you can…

I’m ashamed to admit we have a discord channel for each project and we dump secrets there with access control to the channels based on who works on the project. It’s peak startup o…

Very good article. I try to (respectfully) push my coworkers in this direction but it’s a bit of a lost cause. I work mostly on small codebases and you can smell unchecked AI codeg…
