Someone built a tool to steal data, then decided it should scare the victim for fun. Yes, that’s an actual feature. And somehow, it fits right in with this week's security stories. The rest gets interesting in different ways. A small permission can lead to a big theft. A trusted login can hide the wrong person. Old bugs are finding new victims, familiar tools are being put to strange uses, and
TL;DR: 12 years ago I built a service that forwards simple HTML forms to an email address. I've been procrastinating on finishing it ever since, until today. You point your form at it and every submission lands in your inbox. It runs on credits, 1 credit = 1 message, no subscription. Perfect for static websites. — Hey folks, back around 2014, alongside my job as a software engineer, I was building a lot of static websites for my own clients, mostly small businesses that just wanted a simple site. To avoid headaches, I went fully static, often hosted on GitHub Pages and similar. But most cli…

We noticed during the course of many many years of DBA related work that fixes to database issues and queries are always reactive. An entire database can fall over extremely quickly when an unbounded query grows without warning. Traditionally, DBAs hear complaints of slowness and follow a methodical process: - manually browse pg_stats or other database related performance internal tables - see which queries are slowest - figure out what indexes are missing - figure out which indexes are actually bad and slowing down writes - painstakingly implement a fix In the age of cheap intelligence, we d…

As a current student at UC Berkeley, I mostly have been leveraging AI as a tutor to get me through my classes. As a result, I have a collection of artifacts and tools that primarily help interact with and visualize complex concepts. I've turned this into a side project in the hopes some other people would find this helpful as well. As a broke college student I understand the need behind free educational resources, so this is completely free and will stay free. Looking for feedback, let me know what you think!
