Antigravity just halved the price of its drone — by swapping its headset for wristwatch control
Last year's Antigravity A1 is the best beginner drone I've ever tried. I put a friend who'd never flown into its virtual cockpit and didn't worry one bit. The A1's also nice for people who'd prefer to think about flying rather than filming, because you can reframe its 360-degree footage after. But until today, that […]

Final Fantasy dips back into the SNES golden era with Resonance
Final Fantasy is a lot different than it used to be.

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.
At Pachca we build a team chat app, so we tried the opposite: an agent that lives where the work is already being discussed. Someone @mentions it in a thread, and it reads the conversation, picks the tools it needs, does the work and replies in the same thread.
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....
