Last week I was really sick for most of the week. I was unable to get my weekly notes out for Week 16 so I decided to combine it with Week 17. The vibe A mix of heavy and hopeful. Needed to slow down, reset, and take care of myself, but...
There is a version of the AI coding conversation that feels way too casual for what is actually at stake. A prompt goes in. A working app comes out. The demo looks clean. The login page loads. The API responds. The build passes. Everyone...
Cybersecurity has a bad habit of mistaking specialization for maturity. A recent piece at The Hacker News got me thinking about something I see more and more often in real environments: we have more specialized roles, more products, more...
A lot of zero trust talk still feels stuck at the login screen. Did the user pass MFA? Did the device check in? Did the identity platform approve the session? Good. All of that matters. But I think a lot of teams still treat that moment...
A lot of AI security tooling sounds impressive right up until you picture using it during a real week of cybersecurity work. That is usually where the shine wears off. Most defenders do not need another system that spits out more alerts,...
In cybersecurity and IT, stress gets normalized way too easily. That does not make it healthy, and it definitely does not make it sustainable. April is Stress Awareness Month, and I think that is a good excuse for those of us in...
I went full speed ahead this week. The vibe Builder mode from start to finish. This week felt like creative momentum, shipping things I am genuinely proud of, and seeing several ideas finally become real. At the same time, getting sick...
There is a version of the AI conversation in managed services that already feels worn out. It is the version where every vendor demo implies the future MSP is almost autonomous, every workflow is one prompt away from solving itself, and...
When I first shared my Catppuccin Mastodon theme, it was a pretty personal project. I wanted Mastodon’s web UI to feel more comfortable for me, more intentional, and more in line with the kind of design language I already liked. That...
A friend on Mastodon, CJ Errington, put this story on my radar after Neowin reported that Microsoft had pulled the developer accounts tied to WireGuard and VeraCrypt. The headline is attention-grabbing on its own, but the part that...
I have been wanting to build a starter theme for a while that feels more like the kind of web I actually enjoy using. Not sterile. Not overly polished. Not trying to look like every SaaS landing page on the internet. That idea turned...
Lately I have been spending a lot of time thinking about how to build something a little bigger around the work I already do here. I have my regular blog posts. I have my CybersecKyle Security How-To series that I am actively working on....
I spent some time recently rebuilding my sponsorship and membership pages across GitHub Sponsors, Ko-fi, and Buy Me a Coffee. On the surface, that probably looks like a small housekeeping task. Update some wording. Clean up some old...
One of the biggest mistakes I see in small business IT and even in some larger environments is that routers are still treated like background equipment. I have been circling this theme for a while in posts like The FCC’s Router Crackdown...
I am happy to share a new open source project I have been working on: @kylereddoch/eleventy-plugin-mastodon-share. You can browse the source on GitHub and try the live demo. It is a small Eleventy plugin that makes it easier for people...
