While many of the early Final Fantasy titles look and play similarly to each other, the series has since grown to encompass blockbuster games like Final Fantasy XVI and the gargantuan Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, which don't play much like the classics.

How to Detect Ransomware Activity on Linux with eBPF

The shape of a Linux ransomware hit Ransomware on Linux does not usually announce itself with a GUI. It looks like a normal process that, in a short window, opens a large number of files for writing, writes to them, and renames them to a new extension. The signatures are always new; the shape is stable. That shape is what eBPF is built to score. This is the same material I wrote up in ebpf-ransomware-monitor-lessons , but here I focus on the detection steps you can implement yo...

Our AI agent lives in team chat. These 4 guardrails keep it from running wild

Most AI agents live in their own window. You open it, explain the context, copy in the bug report, paste the answer back somewhere else.

Here's how it's put together, and the guardrails we added so that a program with tools and API ...

Fleet Monitoring for Linux: Managing 100+ Servers Without Kubernetes

The misconception "Fleet monitoring = Kubernetes monitoring." It is not. Kubernetes is a scheduling/orchestration control plane that some fleets happen to use. Most Linux fleets — edge, bare metal, on-prem, air gaps, mixed distros — are just hosts that need watching. You should not have to stand up a cluster to watch them. The right mental model: an agent per host (one static binary), a shared event sink , and one dashboard keyed to a per-host identity that survives re-imaging....
