Infrastructure engineer specializing in networking, Linux systems, Kubernetes, and cloud architectures. Covers hardware, networking, observability, and engineering practices for production teams.
Erasure coding splits data into fragments and computes mathematical parity to tolerate disk failures without tripling storage. This article explains how Reed-Solomon works, includes functional Python code, and compares it to RAID 6 and classic replication.
A CDN is a network of servers that stores copies of your content close to each user so pages load faster. This guide explains edge caching, anycast routing, and how to configure it with real examples in Nginx and Cloudflare Workers.
Cloudflare redesigned the data structures behind the 1.1.1.1 DNS cache and freed nearly 100 terabytes of memory across its entire fleet. The changes in Rust also improved performance, with higher throughput and lower latency.
Nvidia is negotiating to buy Hugging Face for over $13 billion dollars, Business Insider revealed on August 27, 2026. The deal, still unclosed, would give Nvidia control over the central repository of open AI models. Hugging Face had already turned down a smaller Nvidia offer in late 2025.
DuckLabs, the company behind DuckDB, will join Amazon Web Services (AWS) in early September 2026. The team will stay in Amsterdam, and DuckDB, DuckLake, and Quack will remain free software under the MIT license, governed by the DuckDB Foundation.
The Xring O3, Xiaomi’s new flagship processor, scored 3,945 points on Geekbench single-core and 15,221 on multi-core. Its 44 MB of cache and 21 execution ports point to a trend toward massively parallel ARM cores, though the technical community questions the legitimacy of the figures.
A security researcher discovered that Microsoft Paint and the Photos app embed a server-issued GUID as an invisible watermark in every image generated with local artificial intelligence. The feature is independent of the visible Copilot logo and cannot be turned off from the settings.
UC San Diego announced it will test an experimental power technology to supply AI data centers. The initiative responds to the growing electricity demand required by large-scale AI model training and inference.
A developer built an industrial line-scan camera system to capture continuous panoramic photographs from trains and ferries. The project, presented at EMFcamp 2026, produced images over 56,000 pixels wide from a camera originally designed to inspect conveyor belts.
Bluesky’s iOS app swaps the Follow button for its butterfly logo the instant the system detects a screenshot. The mechanism, found in the app’s open source code, repurposes an iOS feature meant to hide passwords.
