iou··on Suppress vulnerabilities applying Kubernetes context to scans
Before LLMs “just-patch-anyway” was a viable strategy because of the low volume. Now it’s amplified so much that taking that approach can introduce instability when the vulnerability was not even exploitable in your usage.

Take the recent example of Copy/Fail (CVE-2026-31431) if you were to evaluate it against your k8s seccomp and noticed that the argument to the syscall socket of AF_ALG is not allowed, then the vuln is not reachable in your pods.

I’ve not used this tool (I plan to check it out), but I think contextual evaluation of CVEs is important in modern times.

This is the one worth watching, it’s a total scam and PayPal is fine with it apparently.
iou··on Show HN: Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention
As other commenters have said, a better solution needs to be something that is prohibitively difficult for bots to mint.

I’m sure there are a few contenders in the space but one I’m aware of is [worldcoin](https://world.org/)

iou··on Dear Safari, Things I Hate About You
I kinda like Safari…
iou··on Test Failures Should Be Actionable
If you like this blog post I think you’d like this book https://www.artofunittesting.com/

Test naming convention defined there of

[UnitOfWork_StateUnderTest_ExpectedBehavior]

Always resonated with me as from that you could also discern bugs in test code from developer’s intent.

iou··on Amazon Workdocs End of Life
It’s truly terrible, this is the right thing.
iou··on Australian Digital ID Bill to be passed without debate
There was some writeup from a few years back https://e-estonia.com/estonian-e-state-has-experienced-sever...

It’s not going into granularity you may want though.

If you like that angle I think you’d really like the part of this talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6pPcnLuOXY from Emina Torlak, goes into how they were able to have duel implementations to get both performance and formal correctness.

iou··on Oxy is Cloudflare's Rust-based next generation proxy framework
It’s not OSS :(

I figured with this type of blog post the finale would be, and everyone can try it out at…

Hopefully they do release it OSS eventually.

iou··on Conversational AI will be used to Manipulate Us in real-time
Did anyone else miss the sleight of hand from OpenAI with all this? I thought their goal was safety in AI usage? https://openai.com/charter/

But then they just sold to Microsoft and the race began, how is that not a violation of their charter there?

iou··on Passkeys.io – A Passkey Authentication Demo
Take a listen to https://securitycryptographywhatever.buzzsprout.com/1822302/... the Q&A helped explain a lot
iou··on Ask HN: How did you stop drinking?
I saw a friend of mine (who’d done AA and had been sober for 10 years) be the life of the party all the time.

This allowed me to disconnect the idea that alcohol is needed to have fun in highly social contexts.

I then just quit cold turkey and that was 4 years ago.

Yeah, that is a reasonable question if you’re not familiar. People are mean if they’re downvoting :(
