Happy to announce I'm speaking at Liquidshop 6 this Friday, a #Liquidsoap community session on streaming #radio. I'll share my take on E2E testing radio pipelines after rebuilding our setup for an election-day party and proving it could stay stable. www.liquidsoap.info/liquidshop/6/

In the AI era, two extremes: reject AI or YOLO it everywhere. Both miss the point. A #UITest revealed a subtle boundary violation —easy to miss. That’s why vigilance matters. Good #engineering = making invalid states impossible and guiding #AI within those constraints. #TDD is a superpower today.

I’m building a native #macOS headphones controller, currently hooked up to my #Sony #WH-1000XM6. Deep #macOS integration, and none of the feature/tracking bloat that tends to come with official mobile apps. Unlike alternatives, it uses a stable protocol making this a realistic long-term option.

You cloned a repo with a malicious README. The #AIagents read it, then ran "diagnostics." Congrats, your ~/.aws just left the building. The agent asking nicely is not the same as the kernel saying no. www.attilagyorffy.com/blog/your-co...

I wanted Audiqa’s importer to be fast and highly autonomous. Then I hit a harder truth: confidence is not permission. That lesson changed the product significantly, but also for the better. #BuildInPublic #MusicTech blog.audiqa.app/why-audiqas-...

Just submitted a tech talk proposal to Liquidshop 6. For those who don’t know it, it's is the online workshop around #Liquidsoap and related #streaming technologies, with people sharing real-world work on #radio, media streaming and more: www.liquidsoap.info/liquidshop/6

Your #architecture decision records capture what was decided and why. They don't capture what you believed was true at the time. When an assumption breaks — "users will do this" — how do you find every decision built on that belief? Re-read all 300 #ADRs & pray? www.attilagyorffy.com/blog/the-ass...

Why am I still blogging in 2026 if AI can spit out a fix in seconds? Because the fix is not the whole story. What mattered, what broke, what reality ruined, what turned out to be nonsense. Good writing preserves taste, context, truth, and critical thinking. Humans are still better at that than AI. 🤖

Do you know what your #radio station actually plays? #Liquidsoap webhooks said the DJ was live, the listener heard the wrong track. I captured the #Icecast stream and used #ffmpeg and spectral analysis to test it end to end. Then the compressor broke my tests in a completely different way. 🤦🏻‍♂️

You moved your #SSH keys into #1Password like a responsible adult. Then ssh-copy-id said "no identities found." Then an error message ended up inside authorized_keys on your server. Imagine debugging that at 11pm. Here's what's going on and how to fix it: www.attilagyorffy.com/blog/why-you...

I just published a ridiculous #PostgreSQL story: one GIN index on 91 million audio fingerprints looked like it might take 118 days. PostgreSQL 18 and saner tuning dragged it back to 10-15 hours. If you enjoy database horror stories with a happy ending: www.attilagyorffy.com/blog/postgre...

My 64GB iPhone is actually 35GB phone with a very expensive case around it. iOS and "System Data" — what the f**k even IS System Data? Nobody knows. Apple won't tell you. Maybe it's Steve Jobs' ghost eating up space. The whole thing is a scam so we'd buy new devices every so often. No. Just no.

I spoke to Anthropic’s AI agent Claude about AI collecting massive amounts of personal data and how that information is being used to violate our privacy rights. What an AI agent says about the dangers of AI is shocking and should wake us up. youtu.be/h3AtWdeu_G0?...

Took ownership of my social identity today. Running my own Bluesky PDS — my posts, my keys, my data, on my own hardware. Your identity is portable, your data travels with you, and no one can take your handle away. This is what decentralised social should feel like. #atproto #bluesky #selfhosted
