Older engineering posts.
Page 2 of the modern engineering blog. The engineering archive (24 pre-2026 posts) sits under /blog/archive/ — this page covers older entries from the modern era.
The modern engineering blog now has 26 entries (Phase 16 added five cornerstones), past the original 24-post threshold for paginating. This page is the second window in the chain, structured the same way as /blog/ but carrying older modern posts.
How pagination works on this site:
/blog/— newest 24 modern posts./blog/page/2/— older window of modern posts./blog/archive/— the 24 pre-2026 historical posts, indexed separately and clearly labelled.- Canonical of
/blog/page/N/points to itself;rel="prev"/rel="next"link the chain.

Why is the blog split across pages at all?
Because a single list of every post stops being navigable long before it stops being technically possible. Page 1 holds the newest 24 modern posts, which is roughly what a reader will scan before deciding what to open. Everything older moves here rather than extending page 1 indefinitely.
The boundary is a moving one. As new posts publish, the oldest entries on page 1 cross onto this page, so a post's location changes over time even though its own URL never does. If you want to link to an article, link to the article: paginated URLs describe a window, not a document.
How does this differ from the engineering archive?
The distinction is editorial, not chronological. Both this page and the engineering archive hold older material, but they hold it for different reasons.
Posts on this page are part of the modern engineering blog. They reflect current thinking and are maintained on the same footing as anything on page 1 — they are simply further down the queue. The archive holds earlier AmbiSecure writing from before the current blog, kept online because the background material remains sound. Archive posts carry a dated banner and, where the field has moved on, a forward note pointing at current coverage.
So if you are looking for our present position on a subject, both page 1 and page 2 are authoritative. If you are looking for how we wrote about something years ago, or for a post someone linked to long ago, the archive is where it lives.
Where should you go next?
If you are browsing rather than hunting for one article, topic order usually beats date order. The category pages group every post by subject and co-list modern and archive entries, so you get the full body of writing on FIDO or transit in one place. Tags cut across categories for subjects that span several. For a specific term, standard or part number, search covers the whole corpus.

As more modern posts ship, additional cards will land here; the boundary moves as /blog/ stays at 24 entries.
