31. Running Your Own As: BGP on FreeBSD with FRR, GRE Tunnels, and Policy Routing
How I obtained my own AS number and IPv6 prefix, set up a FreeBSD BGP router with FRR, and built a tunnel overlay to bring globally routable addresses to servers that already have provider-assigned IPv6 - using dual-FIB policy routing to make both coexist.
32. AI Makes the Easy Part Easier and the Hard Part Harder
AI handles writing code but leaves the hard work: investigation, context, validation. Why vibe coding has limits and AI assistance can backfire.
33. Using light-based computing to tackle complex challenges
A team of researchers at Queen’s University has developed a powerful new kind of computing machine that uses light to take on complex problems such as protein folding (for drug discovery) and number partitioning (for cryptography). Built from off-the-shelf components, it also operates at room temperature and remains remarkably stable while performing billions of operations per second.This breakthrough shows that it is possible to build a practical and scalable machine that can tackle extremely difficult problems.

I didn't ask for this and neither did you. I didn't ask for a robot to consume every blog post and piece of code I ever wrote and parrot it back so that some hack could make money off of it. I didn't ask for the role of a programmer to be reduced to that…

42. Omega-3 is inversely related to risk of early-onset dementia
This study expands the evidence of a beneficial association of omega-3 and LOD to EOD as well. These findings suggest that an increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids earlier in life may slow the development of EOD. Additional research is needed to confirm our findings, particularly in more diverse p …

54. OpenClaw Is Changing My Life
I want to share some thoughts on my recent experience with OpenClaw. Over the past year, I’ve been actively using Claude Code for development. Many people believed AI could already assist with programming—seemingly replacing programmers—but I never felt it brought any revolutionary change to the way I work. Sure, agentic coding tools like Claude Code and Cursor have made writing code easier, but at the end of the day, I was still the one writing.
