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...
Coming in a day late with this one again but it is for a good reason. I was busy launching my new design yesterday. The vibe This week felt grounded in the best way. There was a lot of energy poured into launching my new blog design, but...
If you are coming here to read this post, you probably notice that CybersecKyle looks a little different now. Actually, a lot different. I finally launched a redesign that has been bouncing around in my head for a while, and I wanted to...
I spent some time reading the 2026 Cyber Protect Report, and the biggest thing that stuck with me was not AI, nation-state actors, or some brand-new attack technique. It was the reminder that most organizations are still getting burned...
The tension I keep coming back to I recently read Joel’s post, “Unpolished human websites”, and it hit on something I think a lot of us who care about the independent web have felt for a while now. He is not wrong. Part of what makes...

For years, the home router has been treated like an appliance you set up once and then forget about. That was always a mistake. This week, the FCC updated its Covered List to include foreign-made consumer routers, which means new models...
A child’s first email address might not sound like a cybersecurity topic, but I think it absolutely is. In security, we talk all the time about identity, access, exposure, and long-term risk. An email address sits right in the middle of...
The vibe Life maintenance and finish-line energy. Highlights My final class of my BSIT degree started on Tuesday. I am so glad that I am finally at the end of this journey! It has been a long road and frankly here towards the end, it has...
A while back I realized most people only care about network diagrams in two moments: when they have to explain the network to someone else, and when something is broken and nobody remembers how the network is actually put together. For a...
Another week coming in late with this one. The vibe Reflective, slightly overstimulated, but ending on a better note. Highlights Had my annual eye exam. My eyes didn’t change too much, I did get some new contacts though. I have been...
Most security news dies the death of a boring patch notice. This one should not. Why this story matters The recent wave of exploitation targeting Cisco SD-WAN systems matters because it is not just about one vendor having a bad month. It...
