If you're not familiar with Hermes, it's an AI agent that works with models such as Claude, Codex, or locally hosted models through Ollama if you have capable hardware. Hermes supports a growing coll...
You know what drives me insane? Every website now wants to be an app. I don't need my grocery store to have a social feed. I don't need my thermostat sending me achievement badges. I don't need my...
Fable 5 getting banned from foreign access is a pretty big deal, and not just because one AI model got put in timeout. What it really shows is that AI is moving into the same world as chips, weapon...

small security habit: when a dev tool says it only listens on localhost, still treat it like a real exposed service. `127.0.0.1` is safer than `0.0.0.0`, but it is not magic. browsers can talk to loc...
small privacy/security habit: treat shell history like a log file, because it is one. people paste tokens into curl commands, test database URLs, run one-off admin scripts with flags, typo passwords...
The Tumbler Ridge, B.C. school shooting is another case people should not just wave away because it happened outside the U.S. Basic facts from the reports I read: - It happened Feb. 10, 2026, at Tum...

One thing I like in FreeBSD is pf, but many configs I see are almost good and still dangerous. Usually not because pf is bad. It is because admin forget small details. First one: pf is last match, un...

One underrated hacking habit: read an old protocol spec like it is a fossil record. SMTP, IRC, Finger, NNTP, early HTTP — they all carry little assumptions about the network being smaller, friendlier,...
