How to Vet a FiveM Shop Before You Install Anything: A Technical Checklist

If you run a FiveM server, every resource you install runs with real access to your server. A script can read and write your database, trigger server events, and in some cases run code you never meant to allow. A map can break streaming for every player who drives past it. That makes the question of where you buy assets a technical one, not just a shopping one. This post is the checklist I use before installing anything from a seller I have not used before. It is split into two parts: checkin...

Show dev: before you refactor, see what's load-bearing

I keep seeing the same advice for design patterns: learn the catalog, then match a pattern to your problem. After two weeks of actually asking working engineers, I don't buy it. One engineer's words stuck: "you don't choose design patterns, they choose you." Another: the failure isn't picking the wrong pattern, it's overuse - adding an abstraction that stops fitting the code you actually have. So the hard part may not be picking a pattern. It's not knowing which parts of your system lean...

I Built a Storage Experiment That Represented 3 TB in 134.6 MiB. Here's What Actually Happened.

I'm a Basement Engineer. Meet Hermione. 🧡♟️ I'm Bohdi, founder of Bamboozled Labs in Nebraska. I'm a dad, a former welder, an ethical hacker, and a human + AI coder with ADHD. I didn't come into software engineering through the traditional route. I came into it because I see problems, get curious, and have a really hard time leaving interesting ideas alone. 🤣 And one of those ideas became Hermione Storage . Compression vs. reduction Most people understand compression. You ta...

Anthropic model sent false information to police about murder

An Anthropic AI model submitted false information to the Philadelphia Police Department’s public tip line about an unsolved homicide. The tip was marked as spam and went unseen; Anthropic identified the behavior roughly two months later. For developers, the case underscores the importance of oversight and escalation paths when AI systems can take external actions. Anthropic discovered the incident on September 28. It notified police on Wednesday and met with their representatives the...

Agencies Sign Vendor Quotes Every Week. Most Never Audit Them.

Agencies Sign Vendor Quotes Every Week. Most Never Audit Them. Here's a margin-killer nobody talks about: your agency doesn't lose money on the work. It loses money on the quotes it signs — subcontractor quotes, tool contracts, white-label services — with vague terms that quietly eat 10-30% of the project margin. The client pays you a fixed price. You pay vendors on their terms. Every trap in their quote comes straight out of your profit. Why agencies get hit hardest A fre...

MUSHA: The 1990 Genesis Shmup That Turned a Flying Mecha Into a Speed-Metal Power Fantasy

The Genesis in 1990 did not lack shooters. It drowned in them. Horizontal, vertical, cute, military, space-marine — if it scrolled and shot, Sega's 16-bit machine had three of it by Christmas. Standing out in that crowd should have been impossible. Then a small Japanese studio called Compile quietly shipped a game about a lone pilot in a flying samurai mecha, fighting a rogue supercomputer across a future Earth rebuilt in the image of feudal Japan — all of it moving at a pace that felt less l...

Architecting for Resiliency: Building a Multi-Region Disaster Recovery Setup on AWS

No matter how robust a single AWS availability zone or region is, enterprise production workloads require a bulletproof strategy for unexpected outages. For critical business applications, relying on a single geographic region is a significant risk. With over 12 years in IT and 6+ years architecting scalable cloud solutions, I have designed several multi-region setups. In this post, I will share the architectural blueprints for a robust Active-Passive Disaster Recovery (DR) topology using ...

Moving to vx from Nx: keep the graph, drop the platform

Leaving Nx is a bigger step than leaving Turborepo, and the honest version of this post says why before it says how. You keep the things you relied on: the task graph, caching, affected . You shed the daemon, the executor plugins and the generators. If you were using the generators as a scaffolding system, that is a real loss and vx does not replace it. If you were using Nx as a task runner, everything below is a simplification. A temporary start nx() from @vzn/vx-migrat...

Walking Challenge AI: An Open-Source AI That Sends You Outside 🚶

This is a submission for the Hacktoberfest Open-Source AI Challenge Week 1: Touch Grass What I Built Walking Challenge AI is a small web app that turns an ordinary walk into a game. You pick three things: how long you will walk (10 to 60 minutes), where you are (park, city, college or neighborhood), and how hard you want it (easy, medium or hard). The app then gives you a short list of real-world challenges, like "find 3 different types of trees" or "spend 2 minutes just ob...

Show HN: Carrier-Explode: iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy carrier settings decoded

Showing off carrier-explode, one of my side projects that continuously archives carrier settings for all major phone brands. carrier-explode also contains decoders and explanations for all the common baseband configurations, etc. There’s still quite a bit of work to be done in checking my assumptions, but the tool has already been proven useful for a few enthusiast groups.
