SHA-256 isn't broken — that's exactly the problem. Real GPU and Bitcoin-ASIC throughput numbers, why PBKDF2 using SHA-256 internally isn't a contradiction, and how to migrate off it safely.
Bcrypt vs Argon2
Where each algorithm came from, why Argon2's memory-hardness actually matters against GPU/ASIC cracking, bcrypt's 72-byte ceiling, and honest guidance on which to pick.
Common Kubernetes Manifest Errors
A field guide to the manifest mistakes kubectl apply rejects most often — apiVersions Kubernetes has actually removed, uppercase resource names (never allowed), the stricter naming rule Services alone follow, and a Service with no selector that silently routes nowhere.
