The Hunt for Dark Breakfast – Can we derive breakfasts we have never observed?
It started with a flash of insight like a thunderbolt in a snow storm, the sort of insight that can only be induced by high altitude hypoxia and making breakfast. “Breakfast is a vector space. You can place pancakes, crepes, and scrambled eggs on a simplex where the variables are the ratios between milk, eggs, […]
Parakeet.cpp – Parakeet ASR inference in pure C++ with Metal GPU acceleration
Fast speech recognition with NVIDIA’s Parakeet models in pure C++. Built on axiom — a lightweight tensor library with automatic Metal GPU acceleration.

Frankensqlite a Rust reimplementation of SQLite with concurrent writers
Bit rot is silent, cumulative, and inevitable. A single flipped bit in a B-tree interior node can corrupt an entire subtree of rows. Standard SQLite relies entirely on external tools (ZFS checksums, periodic backups, manual PRAGMA integrity_check) to detect and repair this damage after the fact. FrankenSQLite builds recovery directly into the storage engine. RaptorQ […]

Hydroph0bia – a fixed SecureBoot bypass for UEFI firmware based on Insyde H2O
This post is likely the final one about a vulnerability I dubbed Hydroph0bia (as a pun on Insyde H2O) aka CVE-2025-4275 or INSYDE-SA-2025002. This part is about checking how Insyde fixed the vulnerability and if it’s possible to bypass their fixes. It is always interesting to see how a vulnerability with a massive supply chain […]

Some thoughts about my experience getting my parents’ new devices up and running, and how bad it keeps getting today. As I shared on previous posts, my dad and mom acquired new devices, the same model, but with quite different uses! Regardless, as the more tech-savvy member of the family, the responsibility to set them […]
