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...

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...
The vibe A grounded weekly note with a little whiplash. Mostly everyday family life, then suddenly a wild neighborhood story that shifts the whole mood. Highlights I picked up my new glasses this week. I knew there was a reason I usually...
Photo by Jakub Żerdzicki on Unsplash I have profiles on Trakt, Letterboxd, Serializd, and Simkl. So this is not one of those posts where I picked a favorite without actually trying the alternatives. I have used all of them enough to know...
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...
