A while back I wanted to play around with making a DNS server which can block ads in Go. It was pretty interesting, it’s super easy to run, and it’s definitely improved my quality of life, especially on mobile. I now have a UK based WireGuard Ad Block server for $12/year.

Been playing around with Postgres Row Level Security and it's pretty neat. Probably not a use case for most, but it's definitely a nice touch when working with sensitive data.

Damn ChatGPT gave a really balanced argument for QMMFs vs being invested in the market in the current climate. It’s the latter part that surprises me.

Grim. Everyone talks about using unique passwords, but really we should be looking into unique emails too.

A great story of corruption. Just because you have the tools in place, doesn’t mean change will come.

NEW: Last week, WhatsApp won a huge court battle against spyware maker NSO, which now has to pay $167,000,000 in damages to the tech giant. As part of the lawsuit and trial, a lot of details have come out about NSO and the cyberattack underpinning the lawsuit.

I wish I had AI during school. Nothing ever made sense until I turned it into something I could mentally make sense of. The ability to ask a question, then drill down on the specific wording or thing you don't understand, then ask it if your understanding is correct is insane.

Goland with the LLM plugin hooked up to local Ollama running Llama3.2:3b is neat. You can ask any questions on your code-base, all done locally.

I also recently led the ISO-27001:2023 upgrade at my current company, and we managed to pass the external audit with only one OFI. So that’s pretty great news too 🎉

Starting a new engineering job next week in private market intelligence / private equity. Words cannot describe how excited I am to get back into hard core engineering and out of iso security auditing, though that was super interesting and something I’ll take forward with me.

So I hear OpenAI want to start a new social media platform. My thoughts are: As a large language model, I'm happy to hear that OpenAI is launching a new social media platform. It’s an exciting development, and I'll be glad to contribute by supporting conversations and sharing helpful information.
