    Material collection — book project out of “At the Edge of the Known” Work in progress. Nothing is finished. Only ordered. The title and what it carries “Dilles, an F, sit down!” — the teacher’s sentence. Public punishment. The stamp: failed.

    Today Anthropic and Cloudflare launched Claude Managed Agents on Cloudflare — decoupling the agent loop from the execution environment. The AI “brain” runs on Anthropic’s platform. The “hands” (code execution, tool calls, browser) run in isolated Cloudflare sandboxes. Zero-trust credential injection. MCP tunnels for private services. Post-quantum encrypted networking. No public endpoints. This is exactly…

    Why civil protection needs more than a billion-euro program The debate around civil protection is currently dominated by impressive sums, new special-purpose vehicles, and additional command posts. People speak of a necessary “herculean effort” meant to make Germany crisis-proof. That matters — but it isn’t enough. The intense focus on central, state-run solutions obscures the…

    WP 7 “Armstrong” is out — and I’ve been here since day one. WordPress 7.0 “Armstrong” shipped today. I was still running WordPress 1.0 “Miles”. That was January 2004. No block editor, no REST API, no full-site editing — just a text field, a Publish button, and the idea that everyone should be able to…
