Calibre Is a Mistake. Your eBook Library Should Be a Filesystem.

ebookfs is a 9P eBook library filesystem that challenges the dominance of bloated monolithic apps like Calibre. By abstracting an eBook library into a standard Unix filesystem, it hands control back to the user, allowing seamless integration with existing tools like grep and cat. It’s a radical return to the ‘everything is a file’ principle.

The GitHub Repo That Turns a Conspiracy Theory Into Reality

OpenV2K is a working FOSS stack for ‘Voice to Skull’ SDR Pulse Modulation, now sitting on GitHub. It forces a terrifying confrontation with the dual-use nature of open-source: when democratizing technology means giving anyone the keys to manipulate human neurology without consent, transparency stops being a virtue and becomes a weapon.

You Think We’ve Explored Earth. We Know More About Mars Than Our Own Oceans.

We spend billions searching for alien life in the cosmos, completely ignoring the bizarre, unclassified ‘alien’ sharks gliding through our own deep oceans. We know more about the surface of Mars than the abyss beneath our ships. It’s time to stop looking up and start looking down before we destroy a world we never even mapped.

The Budget Gaming PC Is a Lie. Here’s What Actually Matters.

The ASRock BC-250 promises a budget Steam Machine, but out of the box, it’s a thermal mess with poor idle power draw.

Zyzz transformed from a shy kid into an internet bodybuilding icon, but his extreme steroid use killed him at 22. His death didn’t diminish his legendβ€”it amplified it. This article exposes the dark truth behind influencer culture’s obsession with physical perfection and the tragic cost of seeking validation through self-destruction.

Everything You Trust Is Held Together by People You’ve Never Met

Reliability isn’t a natural property of good design β€” it’s a fragile miracle held together by test engineers you’ve never heard of. When they succeed, nothing happens. When they fail, people die. This is the story of the invisible profession that keeps everything from breaking, and why the gap between perceived and actual reliability is getting dangerously wide.

Europe Isn’t Burning Because of Climate Change. It’s Burning Because It Chose To.

Europe’s wildfires aren’t just a climate story β€” they’re a governance failure. While rising temperatures set the stage, the real catastrophe is deliberate underinvestment in prevention, fragmented land management, and a denialism that conveniently provides political cover for inaction. If Europe can’t manage predictable disasters, nobody can. The fires are inevitable; the failure is a choice.
