Slender youtubers, horror youtubers, gaming youtubers. The let's play youtubers are just fucking everywhere.
Come 2016 and boom ! It felt like everyone was online all at the same time. It was overwhelming honestly.
I mean I was just a 13 - 14 year old and around that time I was modding my Android phone and tablet. I didn't care much about youtube and other parts of the internet. I spent most of my time on XDA developers and forums.

Beyond the cleanup job: Redefining application security for the modern enterprise
Secure-by-design is no longer just a developer concern. Enterprise leaders must treat application security as a board-level responsibility, with accountability, incentives, and customer risk reduction built in.

Back to the distro-hopping!
I'm planning to install #Arch with #WindowMaker this time around. There's just something about that clean, functional UI that never gets oldโthe perfect blend of stability and that classic #NeXTSTEP aesthetic.
Does anyone still run Window Maker in 2026? How's the daily driver experience?
Also, looking for tips on customization. What are your go-to tools or dotfiles setups to make it truly yours?

Stopping bugs before they ship: The shift to preventative security
Secure software starts before coding begins. Threat modeling, safer defaults, dependency hygiene, and developer workflow guardrails can help prevent vulnerabilities.
