I'm trying to finalize the second part of the 'Make Your Own Backup System' series.
It's long and packed with information, but I won't break it up.
If all goes well, it'll be out tomorrow morning, Wednesday at the latest.
Stay Tuned!

Ever heard of vibe coding?
It’s when the code looks fine, tests pass, vibes are good - so it goes to production. Even if it’s wide open to SQL injection.

I’ve seen it happen.
AI wrote it. Devs trusted it. Management loved it.
Nobody understood it.

We’re trading skill for speed.
And that’s how we lose our freedom.

Vibe Coding Will Rob Us of Our Freedom: it-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05

EDIT: Given the trends and the comments, I wrote something off the cuff about it: my-notes.dragas.net/2025/06/05

My blog post yesterday on IT-Notes had unexpected success.
The number of views is incredibly high and keeps skyrocketing by the hour. It’s yet another confirmation that, in a world flooded with fake or AI-generated content, people still need (and want) to read true stories - real experiences from real life.

The only thing that makes me sad:
Even though I eventually edited the article to clarify that there was no organized crime involved, many comments keep insisting that, since it happened in Italy, there must be organized crime or the mafia behind it.

As if things like this could only happen in Italy, and only if organized crime is involved.

I've just launched the version of my blog with a BSD-based theme. The main colors are inspired by the BSDs, and badges will appear if a post includes one (or more) BSD in its categories. I've applied a few fixes (there are more to come), but it's already fully usable.
The site is designed to be navigable even without images or JavaScript, and can be used with text-based browsers. The only feature that requires JavaScript is the search function, which runs locally in the user's browser for maximum security and privacy.

For those who have already visited the site in recent days, you might not see the new theme correctly as some CSS parts could still be cached in your browser. I’ve set long expiration times for the CSS, so browsers may not notice the changes right away.
