Microsoft Project Silica: Your Data, Stored in a Pyrex Dish, for 10,000 Years

Microsoft's Project Silica encodes data in borosilicate glass using femtosecond lasers, offering long-term storage for up to 10,000 years. This method overcomes traditional storage limitations and is cost-effective, though write speed remains a challenge. The research phase is complete, but no product release has been announced.

Operating Systems as Age Gatekeepers: The Law That Could Reshape the Internet

California's Digital Age Assurance Act mandates operating systems to share users' age data with app developers via a real-time API by 2027. The law faces criticism for depending on self-reported ages, potentially affecting its efficacy.

I deleted my laptop from my dev workflow. My iPhone does the job now

A developer ditches the laptop and SSHs from an iPhone into an always-onMac Mini. The phone becomes a terminal and browser. The remote runs the dev server, theClaude Code/CodexCLI, hot reload, file watching, and pushes viaTailscale. Persistent sessions (tmux) keep AI agents and services alive across.. read more

Build agents that run automatically
Sigstore is an open source initiative designed to make software artifact signing and verification simple, automatic, and widely accessible. Its primary goal is to improve software supply chain security by enabling developers and organizations to cryptographically prove the origin and integrity of the software they build and distribute.

At its core, sigstore removes many of the traditional barriers associated with code signing. Instead of managing long-lived private keys manually, sigstore supports keyless signing, where identities are issued dynamically using OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers such as GitHub Actions, Google, or Microsoft. This dramatically lowers operational complexity and reduces the risk of key compromise.

The sigstore ecosystem is composed of several key components:

- Cosign: A tool for signing, verifying, and storing signatures for container images and other artifacts. Signatures are stored alongside artifacts in OCI registries, rather than embedded in them.

- Fulcio: A certificate authority that issues short-lived X.509 certificates based on OIDC identities, enabling keyless signing.

- Rekor: A transparency log that records signing events in an append-only, tamper-evident ledger. This provides public auditability and detection of suspicious or malicious signing activity.

Together, these components allow anyone to verify who built an artifact, when it was built, and whether it has been tampered with, using publicly verifiable cryptographic proofs. This aligns closely with modern supply chain security practices such as SLSA (Supply-chain Levels for Software Artifacts).

sigstore is widely adopted in the cloud-native ecosystem and integrates with tools like Kubernetes, container registries, CI/CD pipelines, and package managers. It is commonly used to sign container images, Helm charts, binaries, and SBOMs, and is increasingly becoming a baseline security requirement for production software delivery.

The project is governed by the OpenSSF (Open Source Security Foundation) and supported by major industry players.
