Rep. Ro Khanna criticizes President Trump for dismissing the Epstein files as a 'hoax' and details his bipartisan efforts to force the release of the full, unredacted files. He argues this is not a political issue but one of justice for survivors and transparency for the public, noting that current disclosures from the Justice Department represent less than 1% of the total material.
Key Points:
President Trump has dismissed the Epstein files as a 'hoax', which Rep. Khanna strongly opposes.
A bipartisan discharge petition led by Khanna and Rep. Massie is nearing the 218 signatures required to force a vote on a bill to release the full files.
The Justice Department's initial release to the Oversight Committee is criticized as insufficient, representing less than 1% of the total files.
Releasing the files is framed as an issue of justice for survivors and restoring public trust, not political point-scoring.
The article highlights a news conference with survivors who shared their stories and accused the government of protecting the well-connected over children.
"Releasing the files is not about scoring political points or winning elections. It’s about justice for the over 1,000 survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse and their families. It’s about public trust in government and transparency at a moment when there is a deep skepticism of our institutions."

Former President Donald Trump defended far-right radicals as vigilante heroes fighting crime, while labeling left-wing radicals as vicious and the real problem. The article argues this defense is misleading, citing data that right-wing extremists are responsible for the vast majority of politically motivated violence and murders in the U.S. Trump's rhetoric is seen as giving a 'go-ahead' to right-wing political violence.
Key Points:
Trump defended right-wing radicals, claiming their violence is a response to crime and left-wing actions.
The article refutes this, citing studies showing right-wing attacks account for the majority of terrorist incidents and murders.
Trump's history of supporting figures like January 6 rioters, Kyle Rittenhouse, and Daniel Penny is noted.
The context is the murder of Charlie Kirk, which Trump immediately blamed on the 'radical left' without evidence.
The article concludes Trump is escalating political tensions and encouraging right-wing violence.
"Trump’s blatant effort to defend political violence committed by people he agrees with is not necessarily surprising, given his steadfast support for the rioters at the Capitol on January 6 and accused murderers such as Kyle Rittenhouse and Daniel Penny."

The article argues that while right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk's murder is a tragedy, his death is being exploited by the right to blame the left and call for the persecution of political opponents. It details Kirk's history of making despicable statements and actions, but contends that the immediate political fallout—where liberals are attempting to mollify the right instead of fighting back—augurs even bigger tragedies for American politics.
Key Points:
Charlie Kirk's murder is a tragedy, but the political response to it risks causing even greater harm.
The right wing immediately blamed the left for the killing, using it to call for persecution of political opponents.
Kirk had a history of extreme statements, including attacks on LGBTQ+ people, academics, and civil rights leaders.
Despite his rhetoric, the article stresses that Kirk did not deserve to be killed.
The author criticizes liberals for attempting to mollify the right instead of pushing back against their accusations.
"The murder of right-wing provocateur Charlie Kirk is a tragedy. But the response augurs even bigger tragedies for American politics."

Daniel Stenberg, the sole full-time maintainer of the widely used curl project, detailed the growing challenges of maintaining open-source software at Open Source Summit Europe 2025. He highlighted that while curl is used by billions of devices and major companies like car brands, virtually none of these corporate users contribute back to its development. The maintenance burden includes security, documentation, and an increasing volume of problematic communications, including AI-generated bug reports and DDoS attacks from AI scrapers.
Key Points:
Curl is a massively impactful project (used in over 1 billion devices) with only one full-time maintainer.
Major corporate users (e.g., 47 car brands) benefit from curl but provide no financial or development support.
Maintenance involves extensive tasks beyond coding, including security, documentation, and user support.
The maintainer faces an increasing volume of problematic communications, including AI-generated false bug reports.
The project's infrastructure is strained by DDoS attacks from AI company scrapers, consuming massive bandwidth.
"Companies tend to assume that somebody else is paying for the development of open-source software, so they do not have to contribute. He emphasized that he has released curl under a free license, so there is no legal problem with what these companies are doing. But, he suggested, these companies might want to think a bit more about the future of the software they depend on."

The article examines the productivity paradox of AI coding assistants, where developers feel more productive but actual metrics show they are often slower. While useful for MVPs and hobby projects, AI-generated code frequently requires significant debugging and creates security risks. The promised 10x productivity boost is largely illusory due to quality issues and the inherent bottlenecks in software development.
Key Points:
AI coding assistants create a 'productivity placebo' where developers feel faster but are actually 19% slower on average according to a METR study
Output quality degrades with more context (context rot), leading to code that is 'almost right, but not quite' and requires significant debugging time
AI assistants are most effective for MVPs, automations, and hobby projects rather than production-ready code
Security vulnerabilities are a major concern as AI can create new attack surfaces and generate dangerous code
The promised 10x productivity boost is mathematically impossible as development bottlenecks are not typing speed but design reviews, testing, and other processes
"The problem is that dopamine rewards activity in the editor, not working code in production."

MinIO recently removed key administrative features like user and policy management from its Community Edition, requiring users to either pay for a premium version or use the command line. In response, the author developed a free, open-source desktop GUI tool that restores this functionality. The tool wraps around the existing mc command-line utility, providing a simple interface for daily management tasks.
Key Points:
MinIO removed critical admin UI features from its Community Edition.
Users must now pay for AIStor or use the command line for management.
The author built a free, open-source desktop GUI to restore the features.
The tool manages users, buckets, access keys, and policies via a clean interface.
It is built on Electron and Node.js and wraps the existing mc command-line tool.
"That’s not great for developers or small teams or solopreneurs who relied on the UI for daily management."

The article analyzes the electricity costs associated with running servers, breaking down the expenses for both individual users and large-scale data centers. It highlights that while costs for a single server are often overlooked, they accumulate significantly for major tech companies, impacting both their operational budgets and environmental footprint.
Key Points:
Electricity costs for a single, low-power server are relatively minor for an individual, often under $10 per month.
For large-scale data centers, electricity is a massive and primary operational expense, costing millions annually.
The cost calculation depends on server power consumption, local electricity rates, and operational uptime.
Rising energy prices and increasing computational demands are making energy efficiency a critical financial and environmental concern for the tech industry.
"While an individual might pay less than $10 a month to run a low-power server, a large data center can face an electricity bill in the millions of dollars annually, making power consumption one of its largest and most critical operational expenses."
Postgres 18 introduces several significant performance and functionality improvements, including asynchronous I/O for faster reads, UUID v7 for better index locality, and B-tree skip scans for more efficient multi-column index usage. These features represent major steps forward in database optimization and modern application support. The release is part of a broader series of planned performance enhancements for future Postgres versions.
Key Points:
Asynchronous I/O implementation for faster reads during sequential scans, bitmap heap scans, and maintenance operations like VACUUM
UUID v7 support with timestamp-based prefix for better index locality and sorting performance compared to random UUIDv4
B-tree skip scans for improved performance with multi-column indexes
New pg_aios system view to monitor asynchronous I/O system performance
Optional io_uring system call support on Linux 5.1+ for more efficient I/O handling
"UUIDv7 helps with the sort and indexing issues. It is still random but that first 48 bits (12 characters) are a timestamp, and the remaining bits are random; this gives better locality for data inserted around the same time and thus better indexability."
How Containers Work: Building a Docker-like Container From Scratch

This article explains how container filesystem isolation works by building a Docker-like container from scratch using standard Linux tools like unshare, mount, and pivot_root. It demonstrates that the mount namespace is the foundation of container isolation, providing processes with distinct directory hierarchies while other namespaces play complementary roles. The tutorial shows how to create fully featured containers using nothing but standard Linux commands.
Key Points:
Mount namespaces provide isolation of mount tables, creating distinct directory hierarchies for processes in different namespaces
The mount namespace is the bedrock of container filesystem isolation, while other namespaces play complementary roles
Containers can be built from scratch using standard Linux tools like unshare, mount, and pivot_root without runtime magic
Processes in different mount namespace instances see different single directory hierarchies despite sharing the same underlying filesystem
Bind mounts and other mount operations in one namespace don't affect the host or other namespaces' mount tables
"Mount namespaces provide isolation of the list of mounts seen by the processes in each namespace instance. Thus, the processes in each of the mount namespace instances will see distinct single directory hierarchies."
