A recruiter sent a LinkedIn message asking me to review a GitHub repo, which turned out to be a backdoored Node project. I caught the trap by using a read-only agent and reported the repo to GitHub and the recruiter to LinkedIn.
The user had an idea to hack a WiFi smart light bulb to create a digital dead drop hosting banned books, inspired by a short story and Cory Doctorow's book, and decided to use Tasmota firmware to create the Banned Book Library. After purchasing a bulb with Tasmota pre-installed, the user modified the firmware to create a custom web server and storage system, but encountered several ...

The author's love for technology began with a computer his mother brought home from work in the early 90s, which sparked a lifelong passion for computers and programming. Now, the author feels disillusioned with the current state of technology, overrun by marketers and capitalists who exploit its potential for profit.
You're looking for local LLM setups for coding. Some users have tried Gemma 4 on Apple M4 and DeepSeek V4 Flash with RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell, achieving 160 tok/s but lower than cloud offerings.
Amazon is investing in a multibillion-dollar data center campus in Missouri, creating over 400 jobs and generating hundreds of millions in tax revenue. The campus will support cloud computing and AI workloads, with Amazon committing to community contributions and sustainable practices.
The author overcame low self-esteem to send emails to strangers, finding it a meaningful way to communicate. Email's longevity and flexibility make it a special method for connecting with others.
You set up OpenCode with Git access for homelab management, using AI for container updates and healthchecks. OpenCode runs on a VM with persistent coding sessions, synced across devices, and integrates with GitOps for deployment.
Price adjustment applies to new orders and rescales from June 15, 2026, 8 AM CEST. Limited offerings will be available until supply lasts, with prices defined by hardware availability and procurement costs.
LLMs generate overly complex code due to their nature, making review more time-consuming. Rewriting AI-generated code is now cheaper, allowing for more efficient simplification and planning upfront.
Gamma correction is crucial for accurate image processing, but most graphics libraries and image viewers still get it wrong. Using sRGB encoded data with image processing algorithms can produce incorrect results, especially for gradients, blending, and resizing.

You've noticed a shift in the tech industry where Kubernetes is now widely adopted by companies of all sizes. The main reasons for this adoption are uniformity, shared knowledge, and traceability, which provide non-technical benefits such as easier onboarding and compliance.
A book about Commander Keen's game engine has been released in paper and digital formats, with source code available on GitHub. The book details game development in the late 80s and early 90s, covering hardware and engine specifics.
The author built a "Functional Programming with OCaml" course on NPTEL with a unique website where code runs in the browser, eliminating the need for installation and server administration. The course uses a combination of OCaml toplevel, a full Linux machine in the browser, and a build pipeline to ensure consistency and correctness, and is open for enrolment on NPTEL until 27 July 2026.
TimescaleDB achieves up to 98% compression for time-series data using its hypercore engine and specialized algorithms like delta encoding and run-length encoding. This results in significant storage cost savings and faster analytical queries.
Salesforce acquires Fin for $3.6 billion to enhance customer support with AI Agent technology. The acquisition will improve autonomous resolution, reduce costs, and accelerate AI adoption for service organizations.
Monash University researchers found a copper-based drug reduces toxic Alzheimer's proteins and improves memory by repairing a vital waste-clearing pump. The treatment has potential to combat Alzheimer's and may empower the brain's immune cells to consume toxic plaques.
Nick is the founder of Drafted, a platform training AI to generate residential architecture from structured design constraints. Drafted aims to make home design more accessible and affordable by allowing users to create custom floor plans and elevations in seconds.
Cohere launches North Mini Code, an open-source agentic coding model with 30B parameters, offering strong software development performance without demanding extensive hardware. It's available for free on Hugging Face and Model Vault, allowing developers to build and shape the future of sovereign models.
Anthropic launches Claude Corps, a fellowship program to teach 1,000 young professionals AI skills and place them in nonprofits to advance missions. The program aims to equip host organizations with valuable tools and systems, and fellows with AI skills for their careers.
You can't direct what you don't understand. fata builds the full-stack fundamentals to lead a coding agent through frontend, backend, and the technical design that holds up in production. AI can generate code but it doesn't build skill.Daily reps with fata sharpen your edge over time.
Researchers discovered hundreds of unique RSA and DSA keys generated by the CompleteFTP software that were vulnerable to factorization due to a bug causing biased bits towards 0. The bug was fixed in 2019, but the researchers found that the proportion of affected keys has plateaued, indicating that many users still have vulnerable keys that need to be regenerated.
To seal metal through borosilicate glass, tungsten wire up to 0.7mm or copper disc seals work well. However, copper seals are harder to make and require precise temperature control.
Rust's memory safety is more effective in practice than C or C++ because it treats potential vulnerabilities as library bugs, not user code bugs, unless the user explicitly uses the unsafe keyword. This approach allows Rust to scale in practice by automatically ensuring memory safety in safe Rust code, whereas C or C++ libraries can still be misused to introduce memory unsafety.
The user is trying to create a minimal Linux system that boots in under a second by stripping away unnecessary components and using a custom init program. They successfully created a tiny Linux system using a custom kernel and initrd image, and were able to read from a disk image using QEMU.
