A 100 PageSpeed score does not contain INP, and that is the most expensive thing about it

9+ min ago   (1070+ words) A 100 in PageSpeed Insights is one of the very few numbers in this job you can chase to a literal maximum, which is exactly why people chase it. It is a score, not a feeling, and getting it forces real…...

I made an alternative to the archived filebrowser

36+ min ago   (161+ words) The original filebrowser (github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser) has been archived for a while now, and Nextcloud is way too bloated for just browsing and sharing files on a disk. So I made my own replacement. It's still early so expect…...

Your LLM cost estimate is wrong above 200,000 tokens

29+ min ago   (441+ words) I went looking for a straight answer to "what will this cost per month" and found that almost every comparison table gets it wrong the moment prompts get long. Not slightly wrong. Double. Gemini 3.1 Pro is $2 per million input tokens,…...

My FDCServers VPS Was Online. Disk Reads Were Taking 18.7 Seconds

1+ hour, 6+ min ago   (1599+ words) I actually liked FDCServers. That is probably the strangest way to start an article about a VPS that eventually became unusable enough for me to cancel it. For quite a while, the server worked normally. It handled real production traffic....

PicoCTF Wireshark Doo Dooo Writeup — Extract a Flag from an HTTP Capture

1+ hour, 5+ min ago   (359+ words) A.pcap file is provided. Filtering on the HTTP protocol and following the TCP stream (Follow → TCP Stream) of the relevant request, the flag appears in plaintext in the response body. The challenge provides a single capture.pcap file, with no…...

Your AI Agent Has No Colleagues

39+ min ago   (632+ words) "The coordination of the builders is not direct. It is the work already done that directs and triggers the work that follows." — Pierre-Paul Grassé, describing termites, 1959 You have seen this. Every agent framework does it:) Three attempts. Three identical failures....

Code Dictator vs Wispr Flow vs Claude Code vs Copilot CLI: Free Voice Dictation for AI Coding in VS Code

50+ min ago   (447+ words) Voice input for AI coding assistants got crowded fast in 2026. If you're picking a tool, here's a direct, feature-level comparison — including where the tools we didn't build genuinely win. The honest limitation: it's VS Code-only, and it depends on a…...

When Free Inference Should Not Own the Retry Loop

58+ min ago   (667+ words) A retry loop that consults free inference before it fires again is not resilience. It is a second outage, delayed by a model call that can stall, drift, or disagree with itself. Status codes, idempotency keys, and a hard budget…...

Crawl Budget Is Often an Architecture Problem

48+ min ago   (295+ words) Crawl budget sounds like a Google problem. Sometimes it's actually a website problem. When crawlers spend time on thousands of low-value URLs, the immediate instinct is often: How do we make Google crawl differently? A better first question may be:…...
