  • The Misplaced Panic: Fearing the Algorithm While Giving Away Our Soul to a Filter

    Between collective hysteria over sentient AI and the voluntary surrender of biometric data to viral filters: a technical reflection on where the real risk lies in the digital era.

  • Why OpenBSD is the Most Secure Operating System for Critical Solutions

    Anatomy of security in OpenBSD: Proactive design, compile-time and runtime memory mitigations, strict kernel-level control, pledge, unveil, pinsyscall, and privilege separation for mission-critical infrastructure.
