An ex-Azure engineer published six essays arguing Microsoft's cloud has been on life support since 2008, and the cause isn't bad code. It's bad people decisions. Rushed launch, post-launch talent exodus, no testing discipline, no architectural vision. Sound familiar to anyone who's worked in a place that ships first and staffs later? Now layer 2026 on top. Microsoft cut roughly 15,000 jobs in mid-2025. Coding agents are pumping out 4x more commits in 90 days. GitHub's unofficial uptime has slipped under 90% and the proposed fix is, wait for it, moving more of GitHub onto Azure. The same Azure the engineer says is held together with rushed decisions and wishful thinking. 🧠 The phrase that stuck with me is "knowledge dilution from high attrition." When the senior people who knew why a system was built that way leave, no LLM in the world can recover that context 🤖 More AI-written code does not mean less work. It means more code to review, test, deploy, and run, which means more compute and more humans needed downstream 📉 OpenAI signing an $11.9B compute deal with CoreWeave in March 2025 was the loudest "we don't trust your capacity" signal Microsoft has ever received from its closest partner 🪑 The bet that AI lets you cut headcount keeps colliding with the reality that AI generates work for humans faster than it removes it Every CIO I talk to is being pitched the same dream: fewer engineers, more agents, lower run rate. The Azure story is what happens when that math doesn't pencil out and the bill comes due in incidents instead of dollars. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/04/azure_talent_exodus/ #Azure #AI #Leadership #security #privacy #cloud #infosec #cybersecurity #software #devops

I recently discovered ntfy.sh and it is brilliant in its simplicity. I am currently rewriting my bash scripts to drop AWS SNS in favor of it. Getting a direct push notification to my phone (and not only this) via a simple curl command is so much cleaner than setting up IAM roles and SNS topics. I still absolutely love email as a primary protocol, but my inbox really does not need to know every single time a cron job finishes successfully 😅 #SelfHosted #Bash #DevOps #Linux #ntfy #HomeLab #AWS #Fediverse #Linux

Has anyone got any recommendations for not super difficult to use / setup / manage linux patching solutions? I was looking at Landscape as most of the servers are Ubuntu but it turns out you need "Call us" pricing with Ubuntu Pro to get more than 10 servers installed (And spoiler, I have more than 10 servers just to run Mastodon stuff!). #Linux #Patching #Security #DevOPS

A FreeBSD jail should be small. Installing Python into every jail just so your config management can run is the tail wagging the dog. I wrote two tiny wrappers to plug cdist directly into jexec on the host. The result? Full configuration management that asks for nothing but POSIX sh inside the jail itself. Zero daemons. Zero agents. https://blog.hofstede.it/automating-freebsd-jails-with-cdist-zero-dependencies-inside-the-jail/ My cdist-jexec connection plugin scripts: https://codeberg.org/Larvitz/jexec-cdist #FreeBSD #Jails #Unix #SysAdmin #cdist #DevOps

Stabil oder volatil? 🤖 Nicht jeder Prozess sollte blind automatisiert werden. Während klassische Automatisierung bei stabilen Abläufen glänzt, scheitert sie oft an unvorhersehbaren Daten. Ich habe analysiert, wann sich der Einsatz wirklich lohnt und wann man umdenken muss.

I was running some AWS CLI commands today and found this string in the output: "AccountCreatedDate": "2015-03-11T15:06:45Z" I completely missed the 11-year anniversary last month. Since I was born in 1995, I was only 19 when I opened this account. It is wild to realize I have been tied to Big Tech infrastructure for over a third of my life without really thinking about it. Back then, the cloud felt like the ultimate solution. But today, my main goal is to move away from it. Funny how the background processes of our digital lives can run for over a decade before we finally audit them. #AWS #BigTech #SelfHosted #HomeLab #Privacy #TechPhilosophy #Blog #Thougts #Devops

New blog post: Speeding Up Forgejo CI with a Custom OCI Image My blog's pipeline spent more time installing dependencies than actually building the site. Two commits and one Containerfile later, that step is gone entirely. Bonus: Forgejo ships with a built-in OCI container registry, so the whole thing is self-contained on a single instance. No Docker Hub, no external registry. https://blog.hofstede.it/speeding-up-forgejo-ci-with-a-custom-oci-image/ #Forgejo #CICD #Containers #DevOps #SelfHosting #OCI #linux

The Architecture of Modern Browser Automation

Building reliable web automation requires:

  • Recipe engine: deterministic JSON-defined workflows
  • AI agent: autonomous exploration with Claude Sonnet
  • Vision fallback: screenshot analysis when DOM fails
  • Proxy manager: residential IPs with sticky sessions

Action required: Your Docker Hub account pulled a compromised Trivy image. Doh. #devops #docker #trivy
