Docker Isn't Cross Platform. It's Just Really Good at Faking It.
Docker doesn't magically run Linux containers on macOS or Windows. Here is what's actually happening under the hood.

Decoding Cryptography: No Bit is Safe
Moving on from "Perfection"
In the last blog, I proved that the One-Time Pad achieves perfect secrecy, showed that any perfectly secure cipher demands keys as long as the message and forbids key reuse, and then made a pragmatic pivot. I traded perfection for two relaxations: security only
How not to migrate a service to kubernetes at 3 AM
Yes, that was exactly my reaction at 3 AM.
It turns out that when you combine kubernetes manifests, cloudflare proxies, and a total lack of sleep, things go south quickly. But before we get into the pure chaos of the 5 AM whatsapp roasts, let’s rewind to the beginning
Decoding Cryptography: From Perfect Secrecy to Computational Security
(Lion Roaring)…
In Blog 1, I set up Alice, Bob, and the postman. In the last blog, I broke three historical ciphers, watched the postman evolve from barbarian to statistician to pattern hunter, and arrived at three pillars of modern cryptography: formal definitions, precise assumptions, and rigorous proofs.
I ended

Previously, on "The Love Letter Problem"…
In the last blog, we met Alice and Bob, watched our nosy postman fail to crack their symmetric encryption, and laid down the formal syntax (Gen, Enc, Dec), Kerckhoffs' Principle, attack models, and a question: what does "secure" actually

The Love Letter Problem
Remember when you were a kid and wanted to write a love letter to your sweetheart, but a nosy neighbour kept peeking while you were trying to write?
This has been a problem faced by people ever since we learnt how to communicate.
We can'
Just when I finally figured out why Kubernetes exists, someone said, "Now let's talk about MLOps."
That someone was my senior, Akash Singh. In a beginner friendly session addressed by him, he went on covering DevOps topics and introduced us to MLOps. Here is the knowledge transfer.
A developer builds an app, tests it, everything's smooth. They ship it to a colleague, or push
Understanding Basic Networking in Cybersecurity
What I learned from a session by my senior Pragati Raj
After the cryptography session, Pragati Raj moved on to another core subject: Networking.
He said something very simple but important. Networking is how systems communicate with each other.
At first, it sounded obvious. But as the session went deeper,
From Confusion to Clarity, My First Deep Dive into Cryptography
What I learned from a session by my senior Pragati Raj
It Started With a Simple Question “Do you know how HTTP works? And why HTTPS is secure?”
That was the first thing my senior asked when the session began.
At that moment, I thought I had a basic idea.
Exploring Git: From Blobs and Trees to Practical Workflows
How does git store files and keep track of everything while being efficient? What's inside the .git folder?? With these interactive questions the session was kick started by Alfiya didi .
One of the most interesting questions she asked was: Can Git store or commit an empty folder? We&
