I Ship Mobile Apps for $0: Vercel + Render + Supabase Free Tier

TL;DR: My entire mobile stack costs $0 a month. Expo builds the app. Supabase holds data and auth. Render runs background jobs. Vercel hosts the landing page. Free tiers cover all of it.

After that much time, a Backstage platform becomes more than a collection of plugins. It accumulates its own ways of working: CI conventions, local startup tooling, container images, Git worktree helpe...

slides In 2025, I [the speaker] found and disclosed a bunch of vulnerabilities in GPG, the most used PGP implementation, and held a talk at 39c3 about it. Some of the bugs ended up getting fixed. This talk describes the adventure and aftermath of getting there, shows some novel ones, and talks about the state of security in 2026. May contain zero-days =) Until May 2025, I liked PGP, and the GNU Privacy Guard. I poked at it in my free time a lot. One day, that suddenly changed, when I flew...
