I moved my entire digital life to this self hosted OS & I am never looking back

I moved my entire digital life to this self hosted OS and I am never looking back

This self-hosted OS has completely changed how I manage my self-hosted stack.

Self-hosting is supposed to be all about control; however, all too often it becomes more about the process of setting up hardware and software, and less about what you do with it. Every service that I've deployed on my NAS has been another moving element requiring adding new ports, or setting up reverse proxy rules, or maybe even a storage path to be remembered. It all works when you've set it up right, but it's the setup that takes forever. And one wrong edit, things go south real quick. https://stacker.news/items/1439769

Trillion-dollar AI market wipeout because investors banked ‘every tech company’

Trillion-dollar AI market wipeout happened because investors banked that ‘almost every tech company would come out a winner’

Investors wobbled last week as they worked through the disruption AI is likely to cause across global industries, with further hiccups potentially bubbling through this week. But the reckoning should have been expected, argued Deutsche Bank in a note to clients this morning, because it is a readjustment of perhaps overly optimistic expectations. https://stacker.news/items/1435983

Scientists Found ‘Magic’ Particles in the Large Hadron Collider

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

In November, Quanta magazine published a feature on the detection of “magic” top quarks at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC). This magic, they explained, is part of an interesting shift happening at the LHC as scientists realize how useful the facilities there can be for quantum computing. The collider—which will be old enough to vote in September of this year—is evolving to help quantum researchers with information studies, in addition to its stated goals in physics and cosmology. https://stacker.news/items/1432511

Weaponized AI: Inside The Criminal Ecosystem Fueling The Fifth Wave of Cybercrime

AI is no longer an emerging risk; it is now operational infrastructure for cybercrime.

Cybercrime has entered a new phase. What began as manual, opportunistic attacks in the 1990s has evolved through organized malware, Cybercrime-as-a-Service, and ecosystem-level supply chain attacks. Today, a fifth wave is underway – one defined by the weaponisation of artificial intelligence. In this wave, AI is not simply enhancing existing tactics. It is industrialising crime, turning once human-driven skills – persuasion, impersonation, malware development – into scalable, on-demand services across the underground economy. Group-IB’s Weaponised AI research reveals how this shift is unfolding in real time. https://stacker.news/items/1432166
