I'm keeping an eye on Photocraft, the biggest of the "Photoshop AI clones". After 3 weeks, the momentum is still present, with tremendous development work going on. claude.ai/artifact/CYP...
I spent the past few weeks making my own personal virtual assistant (like Muse or Grokbot but self hosted and privacy focused) and had to learn all about model routing. Here's some thoughts about it. #ai #tech dendory.net/posts/model_...
On the one hand, AI has been finding a crazy number of security issues this year. On the other, if you make software and you don't use AI to audit your own products, then it's just a matter of time until the bad guys do. #cybersecurity epoch.ai/data/cve?vie...
Great overview of upcoming Canadian engineering talent. We need more startups to hire and promote these students to stop the brain drain. #canadasky youtu.be/vw2fveBiRng
This made me think of Detroit: Become Human for some reason. #robot #ai #tech youtu.be/Y3zb4o47yqA
It seems everyone in the IT tech sector needs to be far more on top of doing their software updates. First the PHP critical issue and now this. #sysadmin #selfhosted www.phoronix.com/news/LKML-Ne...
If you have PHP exposed, make sure you update your sites! Seems like this is the most critical vulnerability in years. #webdev #selfhosted #homelab krebsonsecurity.com/2026/10/wide...
This video is hilarious. Customer support now uses AI bots, but what happens when customers use an AI bot to call Delta's AI bot? #funny youtube.com/shorts/jAaAd...
I've been tracking the progress of PhotoCraft, one of the most popular recent Adobe Photoshop clones. It seems interest and progress is still very high, although milestones are still mostly unchanged. claude.ai/artifact/KBB...
I've been tracking progress on one of the most popular Adobe Photoshop clone Photocraft. Here's the analysis result as of today. The app is 45% down, and 76% feature complete. #dataanalysis claude.ai/artifact/3H8...
Anthropic ditched git because it couldn't handle 30,000 merges per day. Their new AI-created revision system uses 200x less compute power. #webdev #tech huggingnews.com/ai/anthropic...
Porting a game to a different platform, or mixing assets from one game to another, used to be a months long process. Now we have a new game every few minutes. This really feels like we've passed a threshold. #gaming thegamingemporium.com
Here's a post on how I deployed a frontier AI with on-prem access, ensuring digital sovereignty and full access control. #tech #sysadmin #privacy dendory.net/posts/claude...
It seems like Ukraine's latest hits on Russian data centers may have drastically dropped the amount of online bot traffic. Who would have imagined? 😂 #cybersecurity #sysadmin www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/s...
Say what you will about AI, I think this documentary is pretty balanced about the pros and cons. youtu.be/cyeTIEy2qus
This is why local models and open source is so important. As more and more people use tools like Muse, Meta will now control which 'partners' are promoted by the agent. Google used to play that role. Now, whoever makes the AI agent becomes the new gatekeeper. cryptobriefing.com/meta-muse-ag...
This is a good summary of why ID laws and age verification are not the solution. #privacy www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
This is what vibe coding is best for. Funny apps. #sysadmin #ai claude.ai/code/artifac...
They cloned the entire Adobe Creative suite inside of a week. Mark my words, I believe this is the tip of a giant iceberg. I can see Microsoft Office, and all other popular desktop apps being fully cloned soon. And we're talking in weeks, not years. #ai #opensource youtu.be/eFB79TYI-Vw
This is pretty insane. People recreated Adobe Photoshop from scratch using AI in a few days, then released it open source. #selfhosting #tech #opensource getartcraft.com/apps/photocr...
This is an excellent overview of the current state of technology and the real dangers of AI. #digital #tech #privacy youtu.be/W5zpd-n-GFc
Very insightful talk from one of the main Linux kernel developers about the reality of the AI security panic going on these days. #tech #cybersecurity youtu.be/NnV_cWeoo5Q
Big Tech is only powerful because we make them powerful. There are alternatives, vote with your wallet. #tech #privacy www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
Another example that when you upload unencrypted things to the Internet, even to what looks like a private AI chat bot, it's always possible your data will be leaked. #privacy #ai #tech www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artific...
Very interesting podcast about digital ownership and the damages copyright laws do. youtu.be/bcbHHgeEJcI
US Coast Guard is deploying more and more drones along the Canadian border. Very likely that Canadians get caught in their sight. #privacy #canadasky youtu.be/3X2fSn8pKp4
This week I talk about the Gopher protocol, some of its history and some interesting sites still around in my column on Fabulous Finds from the Digital Archives. dendory.substack.com/p/digging-up...

Anyone who thinks "digital sovereignty" isn't important or just based on theoretical concerns needs to read this. #canadasky #eusky www.irishtimes.com/crime-law/co...
I don't know if I should be happy or depressed that I understood 90% of those buzzwords. 😂 #sysadmin #dataengineer youtu.be/FG8sUgjBGXs?...
The first test light-rail train going between downtown Montreal to the airport. Canada building infrastructure for the future. #canadasky youtube.com/shorts/h_-Ih...

Flock is very serious surveillance technology that cops take very seriously: 404media.co/cops-search-...
It's sad to see that Metro apparently switched from their own delivery service to using Uber Eats. #canadasky #buycanadian www.metro.ca/en/online-gr...
Are we still at such a point in 2026? All you need is AD credentials and you can get full PII details of clients (including face scans and passports!) from a bank? Sigh.. #cybersecurity www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...
This should have started happening long ago. Only by putting ourselves out there will Canadian industry thrive. This is how we successfully decouple from the US. #canadasky youtu.be/bjAxG29iwDQ
First post on my new blog "Fabulous Finds from the Digital Archives" where I intend to post about #gamepres #digitalpreservation #preservation #selfhosted #gaming and other similar topics. Check it out: dendory.substack.com/p/experience...
This is a pretty good overview of digital sovereignty in various places around the world. The good thing is that this topic is front and center now for so many people. We need Canada to be just as active on this. #canadasky #tech www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...
This is how a real nation leader speaks. Compare that to any of Trump's tantrums. #canadasky youtu.be/eYAwioM3RQI
This is excellent for companies looking to move away from legacy cloud providers towards a sovereign #selfhosted #tech #sysadmin infrastructure. www.proxmox.com/en/about/com...
This issue is just one tiny drop in an ocean of Canadian businesses relying on US Big Tech. This is just one example of why we need more digital sovereignty. #canadasky www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
