1+ min ago (200+ words) I've been tired of paying $60/year just to securely share Netflix and WiFi passwords with my family. I wanted to build a lightweight, secure alternative that runs entirely on the Edge and is only 5$ per year! Here is how I built EazyPasswords, a Zero-Knowledge vault that costs me almost nothing to run, thanks to the modern serverless stack. I wanted instant load times and zero cold starts, so I avoided traditional containers. Backend: Hono running on Cloudflare Workers. Database: Cloudflare D1 (SQLite at the Edge). Frontend: Vanilla JS (hosted on Cloudflare Pages). Why Cloudflare D1? For a side project, cost is everything. D1 allows for millions of reads/writes for free. This architecture allows me to offer a Free Family Plan to users because my overhead is practically zero. I need your feedback (Beta) I am currently in Open Beta. Since I'm a…...

"British scientists" is a phrase that has a pronounced ironic connotation today. In fact, it's not funny at all. "British scientists" are a very effective combat unit of the colonization potential of the Anglo-Saxons, and they fulfill their role in this capacity by 101%. It has just been 365 years since the birth of this monster, the British Academy of Sciences, also known as the House of Solomon, Gresham College (the Invisible College), and the Rosicrucian Society. Today, this structure very closely controls our domestic science, and through it influences technological progress and our policy....

Another system looks to move in late Monday night and overnight into very early Tuesday morning. Most of Monday looks dry. The snow likely won't begin until 10 or 11pm. The bulk of the snow looks to fall during the overnight hours. There may be a few leftover snow showers before sunrise, but by the morning commute Tuesday morning the snow should be done falling.

7+ min ago (153+ words) I'm EuroMoscow, a Full Stack Developer. Recently, I noticed that many online code obfuscators are either paid, outdated, or break the code after encryption (especially with Python versions mismatch). So, I decided to build my own solution: EuroMoscow Shield ". It is a free, mobile-responsive, and powerful tool to protect your Intellectual Property (IP) for both Python and JavaScript projects. I wanted to create something robust, so I implemented multiple layers of protection: This is my favorite feature. In the Decryptor section, you don't need to select which algorithm was used. The engine automatically scans the code using RegEx patterns and heuristically detects the layers (Base64 -> Zlib -> XOR -> Blob) to recover the source code instantly! I spent a lot of time polishing the UI. It features a dark "Cyberpunk" theme with: I also built a public API for developers who want to…...

8+ min ago (593+ words) Disabling local user accounts on all domain'joined client computers via Group Policy is a valuable security practice. It ensures users only log in with domain accounts, preventing the risks associated with unmanaged local accounts, such as weak or shared passwords. Why Disable Local Accounts Local accounts can be security risks if passwords are weak or shared among users. Domain accounts allow centralized control and auditing, improving security. Disabling local accounts centrally via Group Policy (GPO) avoids manual configuration on each machine, ensuring uniform policy enforcement. Prerequisites and Planning You must have an Active Directory domain with Windows Server 2016, 2019, or 2022 and domain-joined Windows 10/11 clients. Know the exact username of the local account you want to disable (e.g., testuser, localadmin). Test the GPO on a small group of computers first to avoid unintended lockouts, especially of local administrators. Creating and Linking a New…...

9+ min ago (887+ words) I came across a post from ArkType recently: Regex patterns being parsed at compile time! TypeScript inferring exact string literals like "ac" | "abc" from the pattern "^ab?c$". Not just string, but the actual possible matches. That got me curious. Regex has always been a runtime thing, you write a pattern, match strings against it, and the type system just sees string everywhere. But this was doing it all at compile time. I wanted to understand how, so I decided to build a minimal version myself. ArkType Regex is a compile-time regex parser written entirely in TypeScript's type system. Instead of just validating that a string might match a regex at runtime, it infers the exact string literal types that a regex can produce. The implementation uses Template literal types to manipulate strings at the type level. The parser reads…...

10+ min ago (798+ words) I recently attended GOTO conference in Copenhagen (https://gotocph.com/2025, you can find the slides for some of the presentations there) and would like to share some of the interesting topics. This topic is going to be the last one. The talk about the future by Kevlin Henney and James Lewis The presenters shared very interesting story about the future we planned and the future we are going to have. Here are the main points and my comments as well. The future was meant to be for everyone, but we landed in the place where it is actually for the few with unevenly distributed resources - yes, one can look at UNICEF report (https://data.unicef.org/resources/sofi-2025/) to see that 8.3 percent of global population faced hunger in 2024. The food is the basic need of the human and it is somehow not possible to provide it for…...

17+ min ago (890+ words) No distractions: He doesn't follow sports on TV, never opens social media and, when he's really flowing, sends even the important calls to voicemail. Morgan Gendel's best work requires silence. "All I do," he said, "is walk around thinking of stuff." He's a professional " a career "idea man" " who's made his money by making things up. Gendel, paid to provide plots and new twists to blocked and bogged down TV writers in his 30s, became a Hollywood showrunner in his 40s. In his 60s, he thought up and patented a way to build low-cost, low-weight structures that could be used on NASA missions to the moon or Mars. And that latest idea is garnering attention. Now a 72-year-old adjunct professor of screenwriting at Old Dominion University, Gendel is building prototypes of his patented design for aerospace shelters on campus, with help from the…...
