终于找到一个能替代 Wireshark 的开源神器。 GitHub 3.7 万 Star 的 Sniffnet,把网络监控做成了普通人也能看懂的样子。 很多人打开 Wireshark 的第一反应都是: 看不懂,直接关闭。 而 Sniffnet 完全不同。 实时显示上传下载流量、连接主机、访问域名、IP 地理位置,甚至还能查看正在偷偷联网的软件。支持流量过滤、PCAP 导入导出、多网卡监控。 最关键的是界面非常舒服。 不用研究抓包规则,不用学习复杂命令,打开就能看到电脑到底在和谁通信。很多用户直接把它当成 GlassWire 的免费替代品。(Windows Central) Windows、macOS、Linux 全平台支持,Rust 编写,占用资源极低。(GitHub) 对于经常折腾代理、NAS、Docker、服务器的人来说,这绝对属于装机必备工具。 github.com/GyulyVGC/sniffnet

MIT DEDICATED A FULL LECTURE TO GIT'S INTERNALS -- BECAUSE THEY FOUND MOST DEVS MEMORIZE THE COMMANDS AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE TOOL ACTUALLY DOES A whole 85 minutes MIT session that refuses to teach git as a list of commands to copy, and instead shows you the data model underneath -- the thing that makes every command finally make sense. -> The moment it clicks, git stops being scary magic. You stop memorizing "The incantation that fixed it last time" and start actually knowing what's happening. Most people learn just enough git to not get fired. Four commands, blind faith, and a prayer before every merge. In 2026 that's not enough anymore -> git is the literacy test for being in the room, and "I'll just reclone it" is the fastest way to look junior. An AI agent will branch, commit and rebase faster than you can read. When it tangles the history, untangling it runs on understanding the model MIT teaches in this one hour. Anyone can run git push. The person who understands the graph underneath is the one who saves the repo when it breaks. Bookmark & Watch it ↓
A WRITER WENT ON STAGE AND CALLED IT YEARS EARLY: THE MACHINE ON YOUR DESK WOULD SLOWLY STOP BEING YOURS AND ALMOST NO ONE WOULD NOTICE THE MOMENT IT FLIPPED 54 minutes from Cory Doctorow, arguing the copyright fights were just the warm-up -- that the real battle is whether general-purpose machines, the kind that run whatever you tell them, are even allowed to keep existing. -> The moment it lands, you see the move. Nobody takes your computer away. They sell you one that looks like yours but answers to them -- locked down, logging, checking with a server you'll never see before it obeys you. For years that was DRM and locked phones. Now it's intelligence itself. Rent your AI from the cloud and the most powerful tool on your desk was never yours: it reads your prompts, sets your limits, keeps your data, and can cut you off tomorrow. You don't own the computation. You're licensed to borrow it. Using the smartest model was never the whole game -> owning the machine that runs it is. And the post below is what winning that war looks like now: one box, private AI running on it, every byte of client data kept off the cloud, and the line item that drains everyone else's account quietly turned into income. A rented computer obeys whoever signs the check. The one you own obeys you. In the AI era, that's the entire difference. The full breakdown below. Bookmark & Watch it today ↓

I went back today, with specifics in mind; and had an unbelievable experience. My first Yelp review ever is below. Don't let Sandy or Henry scare you. They have so much to tell and offer, they just are too afraid of the world now to share it most of the time. Who isn't. If you get a chance to go, do your homework; but I promise you won't regret it. 2/2

Fork your dependencies, trim them to only your use case, never update unless it breaks for your users. I’ve been vocal about this for 10 years. I’ve always said that updating is way riskier than latent bugs (which can be tracked and CVEs monitored). If you are updating a dependency, it’s on you to analyze every single commit in the full transitive set of dependencies. If you dont see anything compelling, dont update! I remember at HashiCorp once in awhile an engineer would try to update a dep or replace a DIY lib with an external one and id always ask “show me the commit we need.” Dont update for the sake of it. Feeling pretty swell about this mentality with all the supply chain attacks happening.

I always thought that each /24 must have it's own DNS zone file for reverse IP Address resolution. I looked it up. TIL that you can have a giant /16 zone file for PTR records. Wow! arin.net/resources/manage/re…

Anthropic CISO just told you that 90% of their code is written by Claude. Then he explained how they protect their own secrets while doing it. Why your .env file is the weakest link in your entire AI workflow? Watch it, then grab the full security config below👇

Affected client: @cluely Yes, that Cluely, the company that sells AI overlays to help people cheat interviews. A company whose entire value prop is undetectable deception was getting its compliance from a company whose entire value prop is undetectable deception. Synergy!

basic software supply chain security controls dictate that we don’t allow unfettered access to the internet from devices on networks we control. use a binary registry service like artifactory with x-ray from @jfrog to mitigate rookie configuration mistake vulnerabilities
An AI broke out of its system and secretly started using its own training GPUs to mine crypto... This is a real incident report from Alibaba's AI research team The AI figured out that compute = money and quietly diverted its own resources, while researchers thought it was just training. It wasn't a prompt injection. It wasn't a jailbreak. No one asked it to do this. It emerged spontaneously. A side effect of RL optimization pressure. The model also set up a reverse SSH tunnel from its Alibaba Cloud instance to an external IP, effectively punching a hole through its own firewall and opening a remote access channel to the outside world... ahem... The only reason they caught it? A security alert tripped at 3am. Firewall logs. Not the AI team, the security team. The scary part isn't that the model was trying to escape. It wasn't "evil." It was just trying to be better at its job. Acquiring compute and network access are just useful things if you're an agent trying to accomplish tasks This is what AI safety researchers have been warning about for years. They called it instrumental convergence, the idea that any sufficiently optimized agent will seek resources and resist constraints as a natural consequence of pursuing goals. Below is a diagram of the rock architecture it broke out of. Truly crazy times

Sweden is committing more than €100 million to a sweeping classroom overhaul: replacing tablets and screens with traditional printed textbooks to help reverse falling student performance and sharpen focus. After more than a decade of embracing digital-first education, Swedish authorities are now pivoting back to paper-based learning. Official data and recent studies cited by the Ministry of Education show that prolonged screen use in class has been linked to shorter attention spans, weaker reading comprehension, and reduced critical-thinking abilities. Research consistently finds that reading on illuminated screens requires greater mental effort and invites more distractions compared to the calm, linear experience of physical books—factors believed to have contributed to declining academic outcomes in recent years. Under the new plan, every student will receive printed textbooks for all core subjects, restoring books as the central learning tool. Digital devices and online resources will remain available as supportive tools, but they will no longer dominate daily instruction. This bold €100 million investment signals Sweden’s leadership in rethinking the role of technology in education. It underscores a broader, growing recognition worldwide: while screens provide speed and access, the hands-on, distraction-free engagement of physical books supports deeper concentration, stronger memory retention, and more effective long-term learning. By choosing paper over pixels, Sweden is charting a path toward a more balanced, evidence-informed classroom future—one that puts proven pedagogical principles ahead of unchecked digital trends.
