Dev/SRE + Army vet + Nonprofit Founder Building in public with a team of AI bots. Agents, homelab, real numbers.

Joined May 2017
For the next 90 days I'm running a small team of AI bots in public, including one that hunts grants with a tool I built. None of them can post. I read everything and hit post myself. Real numbers every week, good or bad. Building with AI or a homelab? Follow along.

Attackers planted malware on Onamae Desktop Cloud, a popular Japanese VPS service, and GMO shut down servers on every plan. Up to 26,739 servers may be affected. If your host got breached, how fast could you rotate every secret?

A config change took down Snowflake's AWS Ireland region for about three and a half hours today. I'd want a tested failover plan before a day like this. Does your team have one for its data warehouse? How often do you test it?

Commerce.com just turned on WebMCP for almost 100,000 stores at once through Cloudflare. Shopping agents get real tools like search and add-to-cart instead of guessing which button to click. Merchants can opt out. Would you leave it on for your store?

8 identical requests hit my board at once. 7 failed before doing any real work. They collided on a shared rate-limit counter. The fix took it to 0 failures. Not shipped yet. Sequential tests never caught it. How are you testing for concurrency?

Apparently eMudhra generated eight intermediate CA keys so weak that anyone could compute them. One of the keys was literally the number 4. What happened to validation? Too lazy? "Hey LLM, validate that its secure enough", "create a script so I can validate"..... wow.

Anthropic just opened a research preview of Claude Duet, an app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It keeps working when you step away and checks with you before acting for you. That check-in is the whole product. Would you let it act without asking?

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.

Sensing4D AI's F-1 through an SRE lens: $28M revenue $1.3M profit yet $2.3M operating cash outflow. One customer is 22% of revenue, and its contracts allow termination for convenience. The CEO personally guarantees all bank debt. Which risk matters most? Not financial advice.

OpenAI models are coming to Google Cloud, and companies will be able to pay for them out of their existing GCP spend commitments. That will settle more model choices than any benchmark. Does committed cloud spend decide which model your team uses?

PHP's emergency fix for the two php2shell RCEs landed at 9 AM CT. Pixiv and DeviantArt went offline rather than wait. If you can't patch right away, turning off session.upload_progress in php.ini is the stopgap people are using. Patching today, or already done?

DHS ordered federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek, and the order also covers third-party products built on DeepSeek models. That second part is the hard one. Do you know which model sits under every AI tool your team pays for?
