  Code is free, context is not: if an AI clones your app over a weekend, what are you actually selling?

  Between 30 September and 1 October 2026, seven Rust clones of Adobe's applications appeared on GitHub, written with an AI agent. What actually collapsed (the cost of the first 80%), what did not collapse at all (domain expertise and security), and where value moves once source code stops being a moat.

  Climate is not a technology problem: the plans already exist, what is missing is execution

  The summer of 2025 cost Europe 24,400 deaths and Italy 12 billion euros in damage. Yet nearly every level of government, from the condominium to the UN, already has its climate plan written. From the physical causes to the effects on cities and the seven scales of action, the real bottleneck is not technology: it is the continuity of the political and financial framework over time.

  The model is free, the hardware isn't: where value moves when intelligence becomes a commodity

  Frontier models are free to download and API prices collapse by 80% overnight, while hardware doubles in price and starts arriving on a lease. An analysis of a value shift along the AI supply chain — and what it means, concretely, for anyone working with data that cannot leave the building.

  TermHub: my server's terminal, from any device

  A self-hosted, multi-machine web terminal with persistent tmux sessions behind Tailscale: I open my work on the PC and pick it up on my phone in under a second. How it works and why I prefer it to an agent like OpenClaw or to plain SSH.

  We pay for everything, yet own nothing: why I went back to owning my data with a home server

  We subscribe for a lifetime only to end up holding nothing but revocable access. Between the spending-perception gap, data harvesting and cloud technofeudalism, reclaiming digital sovereignty with a home server is the most sensible choice.
