LiteLLM Python package compromised by supply-chain attack
Summary The litellm==1.82.8 wheel package on PyPI contains a malicious .pth file (litellm_init.pth, 34,628 bytes) that automatically executes a credential-stealing script every time the Python interpreter starts — no import litellm required. This is a supply chain compromise. The malicious file is listed in the package’s own RECORD: litellm_init.pth,sha256=ceNa7wMJnNHy1kRnNCcwJaFjWX3pORLfMh7xGL8TUjg,34628 Reproduction pip download litellm==1.82.8 –no-deps -d […]

Debunking Zswap and Zram Myths
tl;dr: If in doubt, prefer to use zswap. Only use zram if you have a highly specific reason to. In terms of architecture: zswap sits in front of your disk swap, compresses pages in RAM, and automatically tiers cold data to disk. It integrates directly with the kernel’s memory management and distributes pressure gracefully. zram […]

From zero to a RAG system: successes and failures
A few months ago I was tasked with creating an internal tool for the company’s engineers: a Chat that used a local LLM. Nothing extraordinary so far. Then the requirements came in: it had to have a fast response, I insist… fast!, and… it also had to provide answers about every project the company has […]
Gzip decompression in 250 lines of Rust
i wanted to have a deeper understanding of how compression actually works, so i wrote a gzip decompressor from scratch. the result is about 250 lines of rust that can decompress gzip from a file or stdin. why bother? gzip is everywhere. it compresses your web traffic, your log files, your documentation / man pages, […]
