  • Concorde at 50: Twice the speed of sound, twice the economic trouble: Despite its problems, it is probably one of the most technologically advanced plane at its time, so much so that it felt like we regressed back when it was retired.
  • Event-Driven Ansible: Simplified event routing with Event Streams: I think it is cool, but I think it is a solution looking for a problem.
  • Apple Developing AirTag-Sized AI Pin With Dual Cameras: Humane tried it and failed, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple succeed. They already have the foundation setup with AirTags and Apple Watch and they do have the money and resources to iterate on the design.
  • Jamf has a warning for macOS vibe coders: Mac users beware.
  • Should enterprises run containers in VMs or bare metal?: unless you are using a container platform that manages VMs (e.g. Kubevirt/OpenShift virtualization) or you have specific performance requirements, it is fine to be running containers in VMs, as it means developers wouldn't be concerned with managing the hardware and node availability.
  • Policy as code: The platform engineer's guide to automated governance and compliance: Enough can't be said about this. You would be surprised by how many issues a simple checkov check can find.
  • Why this Brazilian city uses tilapia fish skin to treat burn victims: Sounds gross, but if it works. . .
  • We will ban you and ridicule you in public if you waste our time on crap reports: Or curl maintainers had it up to here with AI-generated reports.
  • The Windows PC is dying, thanks to cloud-based services and AI: Windows has been dying since the advent of the mobile era. It doesn't know it yet.
  • Ancient telnet bug happily hands out root to attackers: Its 2026 and we still have telnet installed?
  • Good Practices for Ansible - GPA: Recommended for anybody looking to write idiomatic Ansible code.
