How to Evaluate LLMs Without Opening Your Wallet

A new mock-based framework lets QA and automation folks stress-test LLM outputs - no API calls, no surprise charges. It runs entirely local, usingpytest fixtures, structured test flows, and JSON schema checks to keep things tight. Test logic stays modular. Cross-validation’s baked in. And if you nee.. read more

I tested ChatGPT’s backend API using RENTGEN, and found more issues than expected

A closer look at OpenAI’s API uncovers some shaky ground: misconfiguredCORS headers, missingX-Frame-Options, noinput validation, and borkedHTTP status handling. Large uploads? Boom..crash!CORS preflightrequests? Straight-up denied. So much for smooth browser support... read more

Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.

A former NASA engineer - now a Google Cloud AI infra alum - rips apart the idea of building GPU datacenters in orbit. His verdict: space is a terrible server rack. Power delivery? A nightmare. Heat dissipation? Worse in a vacuum. Radiation? Frying time. Even a 200kW solar rig (think ISS-sized) could.. read more

Writing a good CLAUDE.md

Anthropic’s Claude Code now deprioritizes parts of the root context file it sees as irrelevant. It still reads the file every session, but won’t waste cycles on side quests. The message to devs: stop stuffing it with catch-all instructions. Instead, use modular context that unfolds as needed - think.. read more

Cato CTRL™ Threat Research: HashJack - Novel Indirect Prompt Injection Against AI Browser Assistants

A new attack method -HashJack- shows how AI browsers can be tricked with nothing more than a URL fragment. It works like this: drop malicious instructions after the#in a link, and AI copilots likeComet,Copilot for Edge, andGemini for Chromemight swallow them whole. No need to hack the site.

How when AWS was down, we were not

During the AWS us-east-1 meltdown - when DynamoDB, IAM, and other key services went dark - Authress kept the lights on. Their trick? A ruthless edge-first, multi-region setup built for failure. They didn’t hope DNS would save them. They wired in automated failover, rolled their own health checks, an.. read more

Self Hostable Multi-Location Uptime Monitoring
Pelagia is a Kubernetes controller that provides all-in-one management for Ceph clusters installed by Rook. It delivers two main features:

Aggregates all Rook Custom Resources (CRs) into a single CephDeployment resource, simplifying the management of Ceph clusters.
Provides automated lifecycle management (LCM) of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. Automated LCM is managed by the special CephOsdRemoveTask resource.

It is designed to simplify the management of Ceph clusters in Kubernetes installed by Rook.

Being solid Rook users, we had dozens of Rook CRs to manage. Thus, one day we decided to create a single resource that would aggregate all Rook CRs and deliver a smoother LCM experience. This is how Pelagia was born.

It supports almost all Rook CRs API, including CephCluster, CephBlockPool, CephFilesystem, CephObjectStore, and others, aggregating them into a single specification. We continuously work on improving Pelagia's API, adding new features, and enhancing existing ones.

Pelagia collects Ceph cluster state and all Rook CRs statuses into single CephDeploymentHealth CR. This resource highlights of Ceph cluster and Rook APIs issues, if any.

Another important thing we implemented in Pelagia is the automated lifecycle management of Rook Ceph OSD nodes for bare-metal clusters. This feature is delivered by the CephOsdRemoveTask resource, which automates the process of removing OSD disks and nodes from the cluster. We are using this feature in our everyday day-2 operations routine.
