The system where every CA gets to sign certificates for every possible domain makes no sense anymore. There are too many CAs and each one of them could compromise the whole system.

Why aren't SSL certificates tied to something like DNSSEC where a CA is responsible only for one tld? Since domain ownership is enough to get a certificate signed anyway, that wouldn't change security properties.

Commercial support in Linux seems to be loosing its advantage over Debian.

Ubuntu (including Ubuntu Pro) still doesn't have a CVE-2026-99999 patch while Debian does have it. For commercial operators a KVM guest escape vulnerability is quite important.

Same here. I run Qwen3.8 Flash Next on my local machine and combine it with Opus 5.5 for plan making. The Qwen model feels like it's around Opus 4.x level performance most of the time.

But once in a while it gets into long reasoning loops, which is annoying. It seems less with the Swift model but I haven't benchmarked the difference between that one and the original.

Interesting idea. I guess the main challenge is to create some kind of harness to make the input volume appropriate for an LLM to evaluate. Billions of the same log events from a raw stream will be cost prohibitive and not find you much interesting output. But a trend in some value changing would.

As a human I look at Datadog or Grafana plus some log searches, maybe those need to become tools for the agent.

Ah that explains why the content is great but the writing style in English is AI.

Nice write up. I've been optimising build duration and feedback speed across a few projects recently. Agentic coding is putting more emphasis on best practices that we all dragged our feet on for many years :-)

But... Tell the AI to write more concise and remove typical AI-isms next time. The post is twice as long as it needs to be and keeps doing the "The slow linter isn't the problem" fluffy Claude thing.

Interesting, that explains why getting 4x48 = 192gb is around 2400 euros, so 1.2x the price for 1.5x the capacity.

Speed has indeed decreased for the modules you can actually buy, while historically you would get faster and faster modules at lower prices in the years after the introduction is a new DDR standard.

Currently 128GB of normal non-ECC DDR5 as a 2x64 set is around 2000 euro and increasing...

For daily office use there is much more benefit in having more memory than having faster memory. Because apps all started using more memory. Especially anything Google Chrome related.

If you have some unused extra memory it will be used as disk cache, which also helps in the responsiveness of a desktop. Waiting for the disk is orders of magnitude slower than reading from memory cache.

There are, but I've seen several of those price increases in a row so you may be moving a lot. And mail deliverability to Outlook and Gmail from those hosts isn't always great.
