LaTeX, LLMs and Boring Technology 

LLMs are tearing down LaTeX's old walls. Syntax hell, cryptic errors, clunky formatting - easier now. Whether baked into editors or running solo, these models smooth the pain. Why does it work so well? LaTeX has history. Mountains of examples. It's the perfect training set. That puts newer contender.. read more

Visibility at Scale: How Detects Sensitive Data Exposure

Segment gutted its old permissions table—bloated, slow, tangled in logic - and replaced it with a lean, service-based setup. The new stack runs onPostgres,Redis, and a sharply tunedGo API, cutting query times from 1400ms to under 100ms. Clean, fast, and centralized... read more

Notes on switching to Helix from vim

Helix keeps things lean - and that's the point. It ships withLSP support, multi-cursor editing, and smart search baked in. No dotfile gymnastics required. That alone has peeled some loyalists off Vim and Neovim. Still rough around the edges. No persistent undo. No auto-reload. Markdown support's a b.. read more

Creating VMs in separate ZFS filesystems

A dev split KVM/QEMU VMs out of a shared ZFS directory and into their own ZFS filesystems. Why? Snapshot rollbacks. Finer-grained storage control. Clean. The new setup rides a fresh ZFS pool tuned with a 64KBrecordsizefor QCOW2 images. That lines up virtual disk performance with the real IO under th.. read more

How Google, Amazon, and CrowdStrike broke millions of systems

AWS. Google Cloud. Azure. CrowdStrike. All hit hard by dumb bugs with big blast radii - race conditions, nulls, misfired configs. Small cracks. Massive fallout. AWS's DNS automation knocked out its DynamoDB endpoint, dragging 113 services down with it. Google Cloud’s global APIs fell over from a str.. read more

GPT-5.1 Launches With 'Instant' and 'Thinking' Models - Here's What's New

ChatGPT

OpenAI announces GPT-5.1, enhancing ChatGPT and OpenAI APIs with improved intelligence and conversational abilities, offering two models for better reasoning and personalization, initially for paid users.

GPT-5.1 Launches With 'Instant' and 'Thinking' Models - Here's What's New
AWX is the open source, community supported upstream project for Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, formerly known as Ansible Tower. It gives teams a web based interface, a full REST API, and a distributed task engine on top of Ansible, turning command line playbook runs into a managed, auditable automation service.

The project began at AnsibleWorks as the commercial Ansible Tower product, and after Red Hat acquired Ansible, it open sourced the codebase as AWX in September 2017, positioning it as the development ground where new features land before they are hardened into the supported Automation Platform controller. With AWX, you organize automation around projects (synced from Git or other source control), inventories (static or dynamically pulled from cloud providers), credentials (stored encrypted and injected at runtime), and job templates that tie a playbook to its inventory and credentials. On top of that, it adds role based access control, a visual dashboard, job scheduling, workflow chaining, webhooks, and real time job output, so multiple teams can run, track, and delegate automation without sharing SSH keys or sitting at a terminal.

Modern AWX runs on Kubernetes or OpenShift through the AWX Operator, which manages installation, upgrades, and scaling declaratively, reflecting its shift from a single host application to a cloud native, container based platform. Because it is the upstream of a paid product, AWX moves fast and ships frequently, which makes it ideal for labs, learning, and self managed deployments, though teams needing formal support and long term stability typically run the downstream Automation Platform instead.
