A look inside my self-hosted authoritative DNS infrastructure: Knot DNS, a hidden master, six public secondaries, automatic DNSSEC and Ansible-driven deployments.

AI coding is moving from one assistant in one terminal to several agents working in parallel. Superset shows what this new orchestration layer looks like — and where its limits begin.

Fable 5 is back, OpenAI shipped GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra and Luna, and Grok 4.5 landed a day earlier — all in one week. A look at what each release actually is, and at the quieter pattern underneath: frontier models now launch through a government checkpoint.

I barely got to use Claude Fable 5 before a US export-control directive cut off access for every foreign national — including, in effect, the people who helped build it. A few honest thoughts on the potential I glimpsed, what happened, and why I hope it comes back the right way.

A build-in-public look at Quoven, my SaaS that turns a freeform brief into a sourced, structured dossier on a product decision — the multi-probe research pipeline, the stack, and the decisions I'm proud of.

A hands-on look at Claude Design: what it is, why Anthropic built it, the results that surprised me, the unmistakable feeling that a real designer was in the loop, and the two ways out — Figma to keep designing, or Claude Code to ship.

A practical look at LLM inference: how context, KV cache, and model weights compete for VRAM, why Q8 on the KV cache is a free win, how quantization formats like GGUF and MLX compare, and why vLLM beats Ollama or LM Studio when you actually need throughput.

A hands-on look at OpenClaw: what it is, how MEMORY and SOUL give it a personality that sticks, why the brain is swappable but the architecture isn't, how to keep it secure, and why Telegram is the ideal gateway.

A practical look at the BMAD method: what it is, how its specialized agents guide you through a real development workflow, why it pairs perfectly with Claude Code, and an honest comparison with vibe coding.

A deep dive into Claude Code: what it is, how it differs from Claude.ai, why the Max subscription is a bargain compared to API costs, and how MCP servers and built-in tools make it a genuine productivity multiplier.

How I built simap-mcp, an open-source MCP server that lets AI assistants search and browse public tenders on SIMAP.ch.

A quick introduction to who I am, why I decided to start a blog, and what you can expect to find here.
