+## [The Tao of Continuous Integration](https://blog.trailofbits.com/2021/02/26/the-tao-of-continuous-integration/)
+
+Some good things here (CI needs a purpose), some not great (developers creating
+workarounds the CI? How?) and no solution for those problems but, in the end,
+some real things you need to keep an eye for.
+
+## [For Whom Does Data Work?](https://computerhistory.org/blog/for-whom-does-data-work/)
+
+Hey, it's "let's get scared about who is getting my data" o'clock!
+
+Ok, not that much but, once again, someone is asking who is getting some money
+using information we don't know is being captured and processed about us. There
+is even a discussion about different models -- but sadly leaves things like GDPR
+and LGPD (the Brazilian version of GDPR) out of it.
+
+## [Kinto.sh](https://github.com/rbreaves/kinto/)
+
+A script to update your shortcuts to use the same as the Mac. This would be my
+dream of using Super-C and Super-V instead of Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V -- which doesn't
+work as expected in the terminal, and you have to add Shift to the equation --
+but alas, it doesn't work properly on Fedora due SELinux (and heck if I'm going
+to lower or disable SELinux -- my paranoid self would never allow that).
+
+## [A short piece on writing tests](https://blog.loadzero.com/blog/on-tests/)
+
+A really short piece about testing, but I surely can agree with the content of
+the first line: "If you're unsure of how to proceed, white a test".
+
+## [Announcing Spring Native Beta!](https://spring.io/blog/2021/03/11/announcing-spring-native-beta)
+
+I had my time with Spring and that's one piece of software that made my life
+with Java less miserable. The title was a bit misleading to me, 'cause I kinda
+associated the word "Native" with "Mobile, but in one single language".
+
+The "Native" part here is actually targeting the result into a GraalVM image
+instead of the war tested bytecode.
+
+It's weird how GraalVM appeared and then disappeared from my radar. It was
+touted as a solution for most integration systems and then... nothing. Maybe
+with Spring embracing it, it would get some traction again.
