Xe Iaso
I'm Xe Iaso, I'm a technical educator, conference speaker, twitch streamer, vtuber, and philosopher that focuses on ways to help make technology easier to understand and do cursed things in the process. I live in Ottawa with my husband and I do developer relations professionally. I am an avid writer for my blog, where I have over 400 articles. I regularly experiment with new technologies and find ways to mash them up with old technologies for my own amusement.

Anubis is about to get WebAssembly-based proof of work checks so that administrators can use a non-SHA256 proof of work method to protect their websites. Part of the implementation goals of this work is that the check logic is defined in one place on both client and server. The client and server will then hook into...

Tigris is S3-compatible, which means you can point the AWS SDK at it and most things just work. The catch is that the Tigris-exclusive features—bucket forking, snapshots, object renaming, and the like—need verbose workarounds because the AWS SDK doesn't know they exist. So we wrote a Go SDK that does. It comes in...
In the hours following the release of CVE-2026-45447 for the project OpenSSL, site reliability workers and systems administrators scrambled to desperately rebuild and patch all their systems to fix a heap use-after-free in PKCS7_verify(). This is due to the affected components being written in C, the only...
IPv6 is weird. One of the more strange parts of the standard is that every interface's link local addresses are in fe80::whatever. If you have a machine with two network interfaces, both of them will be in fe80::, so if you have a packet destined to fe80::4, how do you disambiguate it? The answer is you use IPv6...
In the hours following the news that Redhat Insights' JavaScript packages fell victim to a supply chain attack via NPM, developers and systems administrators scrambled ensure all of their projects were unaffected from a supply chain attack that steals credentials for AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, HashiCorp Vault,...
CadeyWhat is an operating system, really?AoiI mean, isn't it obvious? It's something like FreeBSD or Fedora that has a kernel, userspace, graphics stack, core set of programs, and everything else you need to be able to use a computer. Is this a trick question?NumaWell it depends, is the Nintendo Switch OS an...
In the hours following the release of CVE-2026-45250 for the project FreeBSD, site reliability workers and systems administrators scrambled to desperately rebuild and patch all their systems to fix a kernel stack overflow when validating permissions of the setcred(2) system call, allowing arbitrary code execution in...
In the hours following the news that art-template fell victim to a supply chain attack via NPM, developers and systems administrators scrambled ensure all of their projects were unaffected from a supply chain attack where attackers have controlled the repository since 2025 and are using it to load unauthorized...
In the hours following the release of CVE-2026-45584 for the project Microsoft Windows, site reliability workers and systems administrators scrambled to desperately rebuild and patch all their systems to fix a memory safety vulnerability resulting in arbitrary code execution inside the virus scanner Windows...
I just got an email from Amazon saying they're finally going to respect robots.txt. Here's the verbatim email I got: We are writing to inform you that starting Monday, June 15, 2026, crawl preferences for Amazonbot will be managed solely through the industry-standard directives. This gives you direct, ongoing...
GitLab announced layoffs today. They don't state how many people are affected, but honestly I find this really frustrating for several reasons: This is the one time where they could have won by doing relatively nothing. GitHub is having big outages on a daily cadence. All they have to do is market themselves as...
