Is there any field you're particularly interested in?

  Most of the stuff that I tend to find using Google is more about the things/features/products that tech companies are dishing out. However, I don't get blogs that are more into the technical details like Algos, architecture, design, programming etc. There are a few goods posts on HN every now and then, but would love people to share what interesting technical feeds they follow regularly.

I write a tech blog at https://grepular.com/blog/ https://grepular.com/blog/ Most tech blog seem to just talk about the current popular tech subject. Basically repeating news that you can read in dozens of other places. I've tried to avoid turning my "tech blog" into a "tech news blog", and mostly just talk about things I've done or found myself. This seems to keep the content original and mostly interesting I think. At least I hope so. Some of my more popular articles: https://grepular.com/Abusing_HTTP_Status_Codes_to_Expose_Private_Information https://grepular.com/Abusing_HTTP_Status_Codes_to_Expose_Pri... https://grepular.com/Protecting_a_Laptop_from_Simple_and_Sophisticated_Attacks https://grepular.com/Protecting_a_Laptop_from_Simple_and_Sop... I discovered and reported the LastPass vulnerability last year which lead to them making loads of major changes to their infrastructure: https://grepular.com/LastPass_Vulnerability_Exposes_Account_Details https://grepular.com/LastPass_Vulnerability_Exposes_Account_... And was the blog which started the shit-storm about Dropbox mobiles lack of security: https://grepular.com/Dropbox_Mobile_Less_Secure_Than_Dropbox_Desktop https://grepular.com/Dropbox_Mobile_Less_Secure_Than_Dropbox... I have different feeds for different categories of post depending on what you like to read about: https://grepular.com/feeds/ https://grepular.com/feeds/ I think that's enough self promotion for now ;)
