The vibe A slower, slightly worn-down week that still found a little room for rest, tinkering, and small wins. Highlights 🥵 Last week was quite warm/hot. This whole winter/spring actually has been pretty warm. I am not looking forward to...
I have been getting versions of this question for a while now on Mastodon and elsewhere, so I figured it was finally worth answering in one place. Every time a major cybersecurity story breaks, there is a rush. A new breach. A new...
A browser that decrypts your full saved-password vault at launch and leaves it in process memory is not delivering secure convenience. It is widening the blast radius after compromise, and calling that by design does not make it a good...
Anthropic’s latest Chrome extension issue deserves more attention than a quick “vendor patched a bug” headline. As CyberScoop reported, researchers say Claude’s browser extension could be hijacked by another extension, including one with...
The problem is not that Google wants more AI inside Chrome. The problem is that Chrome appears willing to treat users’ computers like rollout infrastructure. There is a version of this story that is too simple. It goes something like...
When I released Catppuccin Complete UI for Mastodon 2.0, I felt like the project had finally grown into what I wanted it to be. It was no longer just my own Mocha-flavored tweak of Bird UI. It had become a more complete Catppuccin theme...

So my daughter had her final tennis tournament this past Saturday and it was a sunny day. She did very well this time around and ended up placing 3rd overall! With that though, we were there the entire tournament. Dummy me, I didn’t...
I keep coming back to the same thought with theMacBook Neo: this might be the first Apple laptop in a long time that actually makes sense for normal school life. Not fantasy school life. Not “my parents bought me a fully loaded MacBook...
Man it feels like it’s been forever since the last race. It was good to watch the practice and sprint qualifying at work. Sshh, don’t tell my boss. LOL.
Created a workflow to quickly post notes on my website!
The part that makes living off the land attacks so dangerous is not that they are magic. It is that they are ordinary. That is the uncomfortable truth. A lot of attacks do not start with some flashy custom malware that screams for...
I’m back with Part 6 of the Everyday Defense track in my CybersecKyle Security How-To Series. This time we’re locking in backups that actually restore, building a setup that survives ransomware and failure, and walking through how to...
