Autonomous AI agents are emerging as a new kind of insider threat not because they’re malicious, but because they operate with trusted access, autonomy, and speed. Traditional security models focused on identity and access are no longer sufficient. The real risk lies in how authorized systems behave, not just what they can access. To stay secure, organizations must shift from access control to intent- and behavior-based governance, continuously monitoring, constraining, and aligning AI actions ...

Here is a tool I built initially for myself to help with my German and Greek language studies. It started as a hack for creating Anki cards from native language audio. It extracts the words, finds their base forms (lemmas) and groups the examples by the lemma. At some point I realised that I have a transcription with word level timestamps that opens a lot of other opportunities. So I added a mode to click the first and last word in the transcript and it starts looping with the right gap and repe...

This is a tool to manage encrypted local backups of secrets. The core idea is that it aims to be usable without depending on it, meaning that even if the software disappeared from the face of Earth tomorrow, your data would still be recoverable. It also integrates nicely with NixOS (which is what I use, though it does not require NixOS to be used).
