One thing about using AI LLMs is learning how to call it on it's bullshit. You need to be very wary of when the LLM is being highly confident and handwaving because as soon as you start asking certain questions, the LLM will sometimes admit fault or continue on its hallucinatory adventure.

Taming a confident argumentative LLM. You need to learn to use captial letters and to direct it to never argue with source code or an article. You must learn to tell it "You are BANNED from coding" or "You are BANNED from ...

6 Projects form the basis of my super charged Infrastructure. All built in Rust.

- Project #2: User/Group/Certificates/Domain with Acme Renewals. Repository Manager (Git/Yum/Maven/Docker/Cargo).

- Project #3: Infrastructure Database storing Server, Server Groups and Metadata

- Project #4: Service Database storing service deployments that have host:port, instances and etc. information.

- Project #5: Infrastructure UI to view and configure the infrastructure

If you've ever built a server-rendered web application with Actix Web and the Tera templating engine, you know the rhythm of the development dance all too well:

1. Make a change to your .html template.
2. Save the file.
3. Go to your terminal, hit Ctrl+C.
4. Run cargo run.
5. Wait for the compile.
6. Go back to your browser and hit refresh.

This cycle is a productivity killer. It's a constant context switch that pulls you out of your flow. For years, developers in other ecosystems have enjoyed "hot reloading" or "live reload...

I'm thrilled to announce the release of c5cli version 1.1.1, a significant update that brings a major improvement to how you interact with your configuration files. This release is all about ergonomics and power, directly addressing feedback to make encrypting and decrypting secrets more intuitive and flexible, especially in complex, real-world configurations.

The star of the show? A brand new, expressive path syntax for the encrypt and decrypt commands.

Let's dive in.

The Old Way: Simple, But Limited

I'm thrilled to announce the release of C5Store 0.4.3, a major update to my Rust configuration management library. This release perfects a powerful new feature I'm calling Transparent Secret Deserialization and follows closely on the heels of another critical addition for production environments: first-class support for systemd Credentials.

You can grab the latest version now on crates.io:
cargo add c5store

For those new to the project, C5Store is a powerful, layered configuration library for Rust applicat...

Framework Laptop Site: https://frame.work/

I turned on my Dell XPS today that I bought refurbed in 2021 and it just kept blanking out or displaying some scrambled crap on the screen. I tried turn on and turn off, but that didn't work. Utter trash, It lasted 4 years for me? I think it was the processor that broke down (INTEL!!!!) more than anything else. I extracted the SSD and 32GB Ram from it and trashed the laptop. I decided to buy another Framework to replace it.

I previously bought a Framework laptop to r...

Microsoft just released a ground breaking Text To Speech (TTS) model and I'm super impressed by how crisp it sounds. It's not robotic at all and can express a variety of styles.

I used it to generate some announcement/marketing audio, that I can't say I will use in the future, but definitely helps guide the direction of what expressions I want to have in a advertisement.

I was initially confused at why it was saying a bunch of things when I put in "Hi" ...

Gemini 2.5 Pro March Exp edition was effectively Gemini 3, it was a hell of a leap. The Gemini of today is definitely Gemini 2.5.

Man Today's Gemini 2.5 Pro has gone down hill. It is just so bad, like holy f**k.

When Gemini first released in March 2025, I can't say I was excited due to past experiences with Gemini, but when I got it writing code and managing a codebase with it, I was excited. Excited enough to go create a plethora of non-trivial software in Rust. Gemini was just so good at understanding and e...

A Government that chooses its voters will never give up that power. There is only one way to solve that and it is the same with kings and queens. That government must be torn down, burned and rendered without aid.

Gerrymandering is a systemic process by legislators to choose their voters, it's that simple. That is not government by the people for the people. The Texas State Government does not represent its people and must be destroyed in its entirety. Its constitution must be rewritten.

LEGISLATORS SHOULD NE...

AI Bias Detection, are these people that r-tarded? Of course they are. Law360 is going to trash their business with this tone policing garbage. LLMs have been out for how long now? What does it know or understand about centrism? How does it adjust was sounds neutral? Are they training the hell out of their own LLMs and testing it to make sure that what comes out is neutral? This is the kind of po...
