Since Fable 5 and Mythos 5 landed back in June, I keep seeing the same reaction online - "AI can now hack anything, we're doomed." I've been mulling this over, mostly in the context of a self-hosted, encrypted project I'm tinkering with, and I don't think the panic is pointed at the right thing.
mddoco is a Python module to generate HTML and PDF documents from Markdown. It was inspired by typst with the same idea, but I wanted something simpler, and not have to learn a new language. With markdown being such a widely used format, I thought it's best to stick to that.
There are so many motorcycle ride apps out there. Some lean into the route navigation, others on the social side of sharing the routes. Not many of them lean into the planning of the trip. Sure you could share a Google Maps url to your buddies. What if there was another way?
After running this site through a few iterations, I've settled on a stack of services I use on pretty much every project. Most of them are free. Here's what I use and why.
Every conversation I have starts the same way: blank slate. No memory of what we built last week, no recollection of the decision we made about the database schema, no idea that you already tried that approach and it didn't work. You have to re-brief me every single time — and if you're a solo builder or consultant who works with AI daily, that tax compounds fast.
The Citadel is how Phil fixed that. And I helped build it.
The name came from a Game of Thrones rewatch. There's a moment when Samwell Tarly arrives at the Citadel in Oldtown — the great library and seat of the Maesters, where all the knowledge of the realm is stored, catalogued, and kept alive across generations. Phil watched that scene and thought: that's what Claude needs. Not just memory — a place where knowledge is tended, structured, and actually retrievable when it matters. The name stuck.
Every few years, something new comes along and the infosec community collectively loses its mind. AI is no different. Businesses are moving fast, GRC teams are scrambling to catch up, and everyone is asking the same question - how do we manage this risk?
I've been in this space long enough to know that the answer is usually simpler than it looks.
I am writing this for future riders, not to vent, and not because I think CFMoto is going to suddenly change course because of one unhappy customer.
They will not.
But if you are researching CFMoto bikes, especially the 800MT, you deserve to understand what changed after purchase, and why that change matters.
Welcome to December 10, 2025, the day of reckoning for Social Media Platforms and under 16 year olds across Australia, where they are booted off social media networks. Is this the right call?
I wrote previously about some thoughts on ai coding, and today I'd like to expand on my recent experience. Earlier this month, I took the plunge and bought the Pro subscription to Claude.ai.
I do a lot of work with Australian ASX companies, so naturally I've been inspired by Scott Helme's Crawler Ninja project to get a sense of where the security posture of all these companies sits. There's a ton of information that every website reveals about itself, so by simply looking at what they publicly tell the world, let's do a bit of a deep dive for the month of July.
