The trick everyone misses: you don't need to keep the blocklist in RAM. Store the domains as sorted 40-bit hashes in flash and binary-search them. 140,000+ domains fit in ~0.7 MB of flash and are matched in ~10 ms, using ~50 KB of RAM. Most ESP32 DNS sinkholes load the blocklist (domain strings) into RAM, so they demand PSRAM. This project stores fixed 5-byte (40-bit) hashes in flash ...

In our first study, we experimented with Jev as a decision aid for an LLM agent. The agent diagnosed and repaired incidents; Jev helped rank the agent's proposed tests and reviewed the evidence before submission. That post ended with a more ambitious idea: giving Jev a broad view of the cluster and letting its fast, cheap judgments guide the investigation. In this post, we present a ...
