So TempleOS was ahead of its time!

I enjoyed the reference more than the story itself :)

I saw a recent post about only adopting packages a certain number of days post release (say +3 days, or +7 days) after. The idea is you never bring in fresh commits, only older one…

I'd very much like to learn more about this too, deserves its own blog post.

I've made the same exact SVN mistake. My first week in my first Software Engineering job, accidentally deleted trunk and my team lead had to scramble to fix my mistake. I will alwa…

Been using Claude as a harness to OpenRouter for a while now. It's a nice setup if you don't mind API based billing.

I wish people wouldn't abuse the author of that project over this. Giving them the benefit of the doubt in that this was a mistake and not intentionally malicious, it feels really …

Such a feel good post, thanks for sharing OP!

This was not on my bingo card. Not sure why eBay would take this personally. They've had a solid couple of years and there is room to grow. Gamestop on the other hand I'm not sure …

Valve's VACnet solution is definitely interesting. It uses AI, deep learning and is server side. It's hard to tell how effective that has been for them compared to traditional clie…

Couldn't agree more, I have personally benefited from the additional layer and it irks me when people outright claim it has no value.

I'm being very cynical here but who says that their tool or LLM discovered this. How do we know they didn't hire some expert security researchers to find it or bought it off the bl…

Last time I heard about Zed I was intrigued. Now i'm interested, going to give it a go.

Very neat, definitely some creative approaches in there I didn't expect like `yt-dlp`. Maybe I shouldn't have that just sitting around :)

KeePass users continue to live the stress free live. I've managed to avoid several security breaches in last 5 years alone by using KeePass locally on my own infra.

I used to use a Windows firewall which basically hijacked a bunch of WinAPI calls and let me approve/deny every request. Trying to be a good secure boy I ran this setup for a while…

The parody is amazing! They were quick to respond and made a great ad at a time a lot of people are moving away from Ring.

Any modern system with a sizeable userbase has thousands of bugs. Not all bugs are severe, some might be inconveniences at best affecting only a small % of customers. You have to u…

I believe the idea is to pick small items that you'd likely be able to solve quickly. You don't know for sure but you can usually take a good guess at which tasks are quick.

Even the PS2 isn't safe from JavaScript.

Lovely attack vector. It's fun to open the various databases stored by browsers like Chrome in SQLITE to see the kind of information they store. I wouldn't be surprised if a simila…

Great read. It makes you wonder how heavily optimised the tokenizers used by popular search enginea truly are.

I wonder if there is a real person out there called John Doe who regularly received legal threats for a myriad of alleged crimes.
