Longhorn – A Kubernetes-Native Filesystem

Longhorn – a Kubernetes-native filesystem The other day, I took a look at Longhorn again. I briefly looked at it earlier, as a way to get volumes that are writeable from more than one node. I tossed it away then, because I mistook it for nothing more than a glorified NFS server. I was quite wrong.

However, long

Kerberoasting

I learn about cryptographic vulnerabilities all the time, and they generally fill me with some combination of jealousy (“oh, why didn’t I think of that”) or else they impress me with the brilliance of their inventors. But there’s also another class of vulnerabilities: these are the ones that can’t possibly exist in important production software, because there’s no way anyone could still do that in 2025.

7 Best Password Managers (2025), Tested and Reviewed

Even the best password managers are the vegetables of the internet. We know they’re good for us, but most of us are happier snacking on the password equivalent of junk food. For nearly a decade, that’s been “123456” and “password”—the two most commonly used passwords on the web. The problem is, most of us don’t know what makes a good password and aren’t able to remember hundreds of them anyway. The safest (if craziest) way to store your passwords is to memorize them all. (Make sure they are lon
