Study Claims Over Half of Tech Firms Are Considering ‘Restructuring,’ Thanks to AI

Murmurs about a linkage between the rollout of new AI services and recent waves of layoffs within the tech industry have been ongoing for some time. Similarly, a recent cooling of the job market for coders has also been attributed to the rise of so-called “vibe coding,” in which less skilled technicians create websites and products with the help of an automated assistant. Now, a new report from a firm that works with tech companies claims that a majority of its clients say they are considering

Gemini (2023)

What is Gemini? Gemini is a new way of using the Internet, separate from the World Wide Web you are familiar with. Compared to the WWW, it is intended to be: Simpler – Gemini pages aren’t programs that run in your browser like most modern websites are; they’re just text with a little formatting, so there are no surprises. Once you know how one Gemini page works, you know how they all work. Human Scale – Gemini servers and clients aren’t written by big, monopolistic software companies the way

VMware's in court again. Customer relationships rarely go this wrong

Opinion If you're a tech company marketing manager writing white papers, you'll love a juicy pull quote.

Building Supabase-Like OAuth Authentication for MCP Servers

I am Jakob, an Engineer at Hypr MCP, where we help companies connect their internal applications to LLM-based workflows with the power of MCP servers. Join our waitlist or book a demo to learn more. In this blog post, I want to show you how and why we built an MCP Server Gateway that acts as a reverse proxy for one or more upstream MCP servers while adding support for the authorization framework provided by the MCP specification. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has emerged as the de-facto stan

Terminal sessions you can bookmark

Zellij is a terminal workspace and multiplexer. One of the unique traits of terminal multiplexers is their ability to keep sessions alive in the background without a terminal attached to them. In the recent Zellij version we released a built-in web client, allowing users to attach to these sessions from the browser - essentially making a dedicated terminal application optional. In this post we’re going to take a look at how we built the Zellij Web Terminal: which technologies we used, how we ar

Mosh Mobile Shell

Remote-shell protocols traditionally work by conveying a byte-stream from the server to the client, to be interpreted by the client's terminal. (This includes TELNET, RLOGIN, and SSH.) Mosh works differently and at a different layer. With Mosh, the server and client both maintain a snapshot of the current screen state. The problem becomes one of state-synchronization: getting the client to the most recent server-side screen as efficiently as possible. This is accomplished using a new protocol c

XSLT removal will break multiple government and regulatory sites

What is the issue with the HTML Standard? One of the issues we've seen in #11523 and #11563 is that the proposal to remove XSLT from the spec doesn't acknowledge existing use cases beyond Chrome Status counter stats. According to Chrome's own Blink principles of web compatibility: The primary signal we use is the fraction of page views impacted in Chrome, usually computed via Blink’s UseCounter UMA metrics. As a general rule of thumb, 0.1% of PageVisits (1 in 1000) is large, while 0.001% is c

Skill issues – Dialectical Behavior Therapy and its discontents (2024)

When Marsha Linehan was seventeen, she developed terrible headaches. The family doctor didn’t seem to know what was causing them, so Linehan saw a psychiatrist, who recommended a two-week inpatient “diagnostic evaluation” at the Institute of Living, a private mental hospital in Hartford, Connecticut. A few days later she was cutting herself with the smashed lenses of her glasses. The staff psychiatrists moved her to a ward for “the most disturbed patients” where nurses stripped her naked, wrappe

What is X-Forwarded-For and when can you trust it? (2024)

The X-Forwarded-For (XFF) HTTP header provides crucial insight into the origin of web requests. The header works as a mechanism for conveying the original source IP addresses of clients, and not just across one hop, but through chains of multiple intermediaries. This list of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses is helpful to understand where requests have really come from in scenarios where they traverse several servers, proxies, or load balancers. A typical HTTP request goes on a bit of a journey, traversi

Implementing fast TCP fingerprinting with eBPF

In this article I want to document my journey implementing fast TCP fingerprinting in a golang webserver, using eBPF. Just to provide some background, TCP fingerprinting is one of the many techniques that can be used to detect unusual or identifying informations about a web request when implementing an anti-bot solution. This has been a hot topic lately, caused by the rising need to scrape the internet for human content to feeed to the LLMs. Implementing such a system offers interesting techn
