A fresh CVE (2025-55305) just put Electron apps in the hot seat. The bug? Chromium-based apps fail to treatV8 heap snapshot filesas potential attack vectors. That crack lets unsigned JavaScript slip past code signing and run inside heavyweight targets like Slack, 1Password, and Signal. The heart of..
A fresh look at Linux monitoring tools shows the classics still holdâbut the visual crowdâs moving in. Old-school command-liners liketopandvmstatremain go-toâs for quick reads. But picks likeNetdata,btop, andMonitbring dashboards, colors, and actual UX. Tools likeiftop,Nmon, andSuricatastretch deep..
Rich Hickeyâs classic âSimple Made Easyâ talk is making the rounds againâas a mirror held up to dev culture under pressure. The punchline: we keep picking solutions that areeasy but tangled, instead ofsimple and sane. The essay draws a sharp line between that habit and a concept from biology: exapt..
Kubernetes 1.34 brings serious heat for anyone juggling GPUs or accelerators. MeetDynamic Resource Allocation (DRA)âa new way to schedule hardware like you mean it. DRA addsResourceClaims,DeviceClasses, andResourceSlices, slicing device management away from pod specs. It replaces the old device plu..
Lucidity has upgraded itsAutoScaler. It now handles persistent volumes on AWS-hosted Kubernetes, automatically scaling storage and reducing waste. The upgrade bringspod-level isolation,fault tolerance, andbulk Linux onboarding. Azure and GCP are next on the list...

Nigel Douglas discusses the challenges of security in Kubernetes, particularly with traditional base operating systems. Talos Linux offers a different approach with a secure-by-default, API-driven model specifically for Kubernetes. CISOs play a critical role in guiding organizations through the shif..
Kubernetes'Vertical Pod Autoscaler (VPA)tries to be helpful by tweaking CPU and memory requests on the fly. Problem is, it needs to bounce your pods to do it. And if you're also runningHorizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA)on the same metrics? Now they're fighting over control. VPA sees a narrow slice of ..
AI isnât just burning computeâit's torching old-school FinOps. Reserved Instances? Idle detection? Cute, but not built for GPU bottlenecks and model-heavy pipelines. Whatâs actually happening:Infra teams are ditching cost-first playbooks for something smarterâbusiness-aligned orchestrationthat chas..
