Sure, throw-away applications / software ... works great. If you need to build something to do something once, it's awesome. But to build complex software that is intended to survive and evolve over time... they do not help you without human supervision. Not at all. The generation will only […]

This is a Toot about code generation, and if any LLM-use annoys the crap out of you, don't read further. So I'm a daily user of code generation tools and one thing that is painfully obvious is that no matter how much prompting, guardrails, rules, contracts, dynamically loaded constraints for […]

And... we've got Friday morning over here in #Sweden. It will be a day of programming and development, most likely tearing some of the remaining hair from my head. What are you working on today? (Or will be working on?)

This makes me curious: sec.cloudapps.cisco.com/security/ce… Advanced notification about vulnerabilities for October 7? What's that about, is that a common practice? #Cisco #Vulnerability

On October 7, 2026, the Cisco Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) will publish advisories to disclose security vulnerability information along with fixed software releases for the following Cisco products: Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (security hardening release) Finesse License On-Prem, formerly Cisco Smart Software Manager On-Prem (security hardening release) Meraki (security hardening release) NX-OS Software for MDS 9000, Nexus 3000, 7000, and 9000 Series Switches, Nexus 9000 in ACI mode, and UCS Fabric Interconnects (security hardening release) To remediate vulnerabilities to be disclosed on October 7, 2026, Cisco strongly recommends that customers upgrade to the fixed software indicated in the advisories.

@bontchev This fucking shrinkconomy is incredibly frustrating. It's everywhere. There's one thing that annoys the fuck of it me and it's bread. If I buy a loaf of bread, it LOOKS big, but there's probably so much yeast in that thing that it expands into an almost hollow sort of thing. Sure the […]

Time to revive @orlysec soon I think. Have made some improvements to various components and I can now ... get the content (security advisories) from Fortinet PSIRT and others meaning I could push those types of content through Orlysec. But either way, would be fun to get Orlysec back in action.

@troed Say what you want about DHH and Omarchy, but the idea that you think of a "plugin" or "app" that you're missing and simply have it developed for you is a pretty rad idea honestly. Especially if it continues to use things like QuickShell for UI integration, it makes for a pretty smooth […]

Fortinet is checking is my "connection to this site is secure." I would love to know what beyond the established TLS-handshake / connection could be checked for the "secure"-state? And ironically it doesn't advance either. So yeah... great UX, really great.
