<li><strong>EFF updates open-source policy for AI-assisted coding</strong>: The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has updated its open-source contribution policy to address AI-assisted coding, requiring contributors to fully understand and be able to explain any submitted code, and ensuring all comments and documentation are human-authored. This approach, praised by analysts, shifts accountability to the contributor rather than relying on unreliable AI detection, setting a potential template for other organizations consuming or producing open-source software. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/W3yzAhjLd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare R2 local uploads launch</strong>: Cloudflare has launched “Local Uploads” for its R2 object storage, now in open beta, which significantly reduces cross-region write latency by allowing data to be written to the nearest Cloudflare PoP and then asynchronously replicated to the bucket’s home region. This feature, which comes at no additional cost, aims to improve upload performance for geographically distributed workloads, similar to AWS S3 Transfer Acceleration but with a different underlying mechanism. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XbGrpoJDs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare outage on February 20, 2026</strong>: Cloudflare experienced a 6-hour outage affecting its Bring Your Own IP (BYOIP) service due to a software bug in a cleanup sub-task that unintentionally withdrew about 1,100 BGP prefixes. The incident, which also briefly impacted one.one.one.one, was caused by an API query bug that led to the deletion of all BYOIP prefixes instead of only those pending deletion, highlighting the complexities of managing large-scale network infrastructure. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hy3FNhBxD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>GrapheneOS can help you retake your privacy</strong>: GrapheneOS offers a compelling privacy-focused Android alternative by stripping out Google Play Services by default, allowing for a minimal 14-app experience that can be selectively expanded with sandboxed Google Play for necessary apps. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/840Dw8MXb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>LibreOffice blasts ‘fake open source’ OnlyOffice</strong>: The Document Foundation, stewards of LibreOffice, has publicly criticized OnlyOffice as ‘fake open source’ for partnering with Microsoft and defaulting to proprietary OOXML formats, arguing it contributes to vendor lock-in rather than promoting open standards. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/OwmBaq9Nm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Sandkasten provides stateful Linux sandboxes for AI agents</strong>: Sandkasten is a self-hosted sandbox runtime for AI agents, offering stateful Linux sandboxes with persistent shell sessions and workspace management using native Linux primitives for isolation, without requiring Docker. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kdJWfknAe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS enables event-driven architectures for RDS SQL Server</strong>: AWS now allows Lambda function triggers directly from RDS for SQL Server database events, enabling event-driven architectures by using stored procedures to write messages to SQL Server’s ERRORLOG, which CloudWatch Logs then detects to invoke Lambda functions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/KzhIuYzeh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>PostgreSQL 19 adds hot standby status to psql prompt</strong>: PostgreSQL 19 introduces a new <code>%i</code> prompt escape for psql, which displays whether the connected server is a primary or a hot standby, making it easier to distinguish server roles in replicated environments. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nQ1LJvlCo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>IPv6 adoption in 2026 remains slow</strong>: Despite years of effort, IPv6 adoption in 2026 remains surprisingly low across HTTP, SMTP, and DNS traffic, with only about 35% of top 1M domains being IPv6-enabled for HTTP, suggesting persistent challenges in achieving widespread implementation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Fi2IoJGJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI introduces AI-driven harness engineering</strong>: OpenAI is touting “Harness Engineering,” an internal AI-driven methodology where Codex agents supposedly handle large-scale software development, even shipping a beta product with a million lines of code and “no manually written source code.” So, engineers just design environments and specify intent now? Sounds like a great way to abstract away all the actual engineering work until something inevitably breaks, and then we’ll need human engineers to debug the AI’s “intent.” <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/dPCNsAxds" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI promotes local Codex developer meetups</strong>: OpenAI is promoting local developer meetups for Codex, encouraging people to “create and ship projects” using their AI. Because nothing says “community-driven innovation” like a corporate-sponsored meetup to push their proprietary tools. I’m sure these meetups will be brimming with genuine, independent creativity, and not just a thinly veiled recruitment drive for their ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/kpaXVeVV9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google VP warns two types of AI startups may not survive</strong>: A Google Cloud VP is warning that AI startups relying on thin LLM wrappers or aggregation won’t survive, comparing them to early AWS resellers who got squeezed out. Apparently, only “deep differentiation” or “vertical specialization” will save them. It’s almost as if the big players want to consolidate the market and eliminate competition, while simultaneously pretending to offer sage advice. Who could have seen that coming? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/djwfpUzVm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
