The Safest Open Port Is the One You Don’t Need

We started using Tailscale because SSH access had become annoying. PANDAROSE operates systems across several cloud providers, internal networks, development environments, and client infrastructure.

Microsoft Is Retiring Native SMS MFA. Honestly, Good.

The AS400 Is Not Expensive. Buying It Blindly Is Expensive.

I like IBM i. I should probably say that up front, because this is not one of those articles where someone discovers an old system, squints at a green screen for four minutes, and declares that everything needs to be replaced by something “cloud-native” before lunch. I grew up around AS400 systems, RPG, CL, printer
