Kind advice to everyone willing to share their write ups: avoid Medium. I can’t read the article because of the signup wall. It is cheap and easy to set up a blog on your own custom domain.

One of the options without using third party tools and sdripts: 1. Use macbook. 2. Open imessage and scroll 1 year back. 3. Export to pdf. 4. Ensure the pdf contains 1 year of chatting. 5. Delete all the messages that have just been exporte

We were in need of a simple and reliable Redis failover in Kubernetes. There were a number of options. All of them tried to leverage Redis Sentinel which is not very Kubernetes friendly. That is why this Redis Operator was born which can be

I totally get the herculeanity of the effort. But I also feel there’s vacuum in this space. And I would be happy if our children had access to a high quality source of information.

I see people in the comments discussing applications for instant messaging. What is worth talking about is protocols. Once upon a time there were IRC and XMPP. But for whatever reason people stick to silly corporate funded gimmicks. Support

I am a big fan of read-only rootfs. But for some third party containers it may be challenging to apply this. In most cases it is not a big deal but sometimes you end up with a bunch of tmpfs mounts for those paths where it is required.

I enjoy to see my kid breaking software, POS terminals and causing ATMs to throw error windows. Nothing critical, just funny how random screen touching and keyboard mashing drives “serious” software crazy. Fool-proof and child-proof softwar

This. Fully agree on usb-c (usb4). Magsafe in some shape or form and just MOAR usb4 ports would suffice. I am all in with usb-c connector. Industry is moving forward. Don’t rewind. P.S. The article behind the link is based on rumors spread
