This blog post by @activ8te.bsky.social will be mandatory reading material in my LLM security lectures www.provos.org/p/security-a...

Really enjoyed the time with James at Risky Business. Between his James Kettle interview and mine: the models we have today can already do remarkable work; if you take the time to codify your expertise into scaffolding. And what that looks like with IronCurtain, and on what businesses need to do.

if you ever bought one of my courses and liked the content but hated the website, you're just like me. it was all WordPress and just awful IMO. the good news is that I'm almost done building a new site that is vastly better and should be up before Christmas

making music is fun. typing a prompt and getting music back is not. this is extremely obvious to regular humans but not to CEOs

Here is why we built BandAlert and why we thought it was needed: bandalert.co/blog/2025-11...

I needed a tool to help me recognize intervals via mnemonic song references. I spent a few hours to create ear.provos.org. It will play a reference song for an interval when a wrong guess is entered. It provides piano, guitar and violin to be able to practice with different note characters.

Last year, I built a tool for creating 2.5D parallax animations. It can export scenes to GLTF for easy import into Blender or Unreal Engine. However, many users struggled with the installation. Here is how to get it up and running: www.youtube.com/watch?v=amlU... #Python #StableDiffusion

An article in Harper's Magazine describes how Spotify undermines independent artists. In 2017, the company launched its "Perfect Fit Content" program, which replaces indie artists' music with cheaper tracks. PFC music is often made by "ghost artists" who are not well-known or may not even exist.

How about these socks for a present? I would wear them for sure. Image curtesy of Recraft.

Content Security Policy is giving me the run around. In an age where every company integrates with tons of third-party services, how does anyone figure out what to put in the allow list? It's definitely easy to read and understand.

Getting ready for the final round of Grammy voting! For the first round, I listened to 400+ submissions. This one will be much more focused. Just need a cup of tea and I am good to go! Very exciting.

Tried replybox as the commenting system for a new security website today. It’s lightweight and very privacy friendly. Unfortunately, it does not work on iOS due to third party cookies being blocked. What are other opinions?

Was looking for some additional brain stimulation and landed on this. We'll see how far I'll get. It's dense and terse.
