I'm seeking recommendations for good blogs to read / add to my RSS feed. Like personal blogs, not necessarily corporate ones.
Don't need to be related to security or IT... just stuff like how it used to be back in the day. People writing random stuff down and hitting publish.
Thanks in advance

Dear me, you already are
Someone sent me a photo last week. It was me, about fifteen years ago. And I looked good. Not "good for someone who has since surrendered to gravity" good. Actually good. Fit. Hair that was black rather than its current negotiations with grey. My first reaction was…

Yep
We gave openclaw full access to everything, told it to think for itself, then acted shocked when things went sideways.

Japan isn't automating because it's exciting. It's automating because it has to. Fewer people, more work, no choice.

AI isn't the problem. The people running it are. They've got the technology to change the world and they're using it to optimise their own productivity whilst the rest of us inherit the mess.

I once tried to assemble IKEA furniture this week without looking at the instructions. Got halfway through before realising I'd built something structurally sound but utterly useless. Feels like a decent metaphor for most security programmes. America Discovers It…
