Kubernetes on Oxide: How Customer Needs Shaped Our Integrations
With clusters provisioned, reconciled with Oxide, and reachable from outside their VPCs, storage for stateful workloads became the next layer to address. Kubernetes users request persistent storage through PersistentVolumeClaim objects and expect a Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver to create, attach, and mount the underlying volumes. Oxide had disks, but Kubernetes had no native way […]
We eliminated 1,400 CVEs in NanoClaw’s container images
Last week we announced Echo’s partnership with NanoClaw, designed to extend the vision and security of the open source project.

Spaghettifying DRAM
Unlocking everything on the CPU with DRAM scrambling — PSP, C6, microcode, SMM, and anything else the specs left out. &x == &x. Usually. Poke the DRAM controller and an address can be made to land wherever you want in memory. skitter-creek-bath-salts reaches into the deepest level of the memory hierarchy and rewires the physical […]

I Built a 500k-Domain Search Engine for Makers in a Weekend for $10
Sunday, 2am. I couldn’t sleep and I was annoyed at search engines again. Every query I actually cared about, portfolios, zines, weird little art projects, one-person software, drowned under a foot of corporate documentation and SEO sludge. So I did the thing you do at 2am: I opened a terminal and typed out a plan. […]
