I hate how airlines treat their software department as a cost center - and as a result, their websites are unusuable for edge cases; but there is no monitoring on these; passengers suffer, devs don't know or care. This is Delta, when trying to submit a reimbursement request 👎

My kid usually gets £1 from tooth fairy. We live in Scotland. We're visiting family near London, and she lost a tooth. Gave her £1.20 as it includes London weighting. Economics lessons start now.

the only good feature of ios26 is this screenshot tool. ffs why we have not thought of that before. 30% of my photo library is screenshot photos!! Someone must have figured it out how globally we are wasting space to sync and save screenshots! Well done

PostgreSQL 18 is here 🎉 🐘 • Async I/O (io_uring/worker), faster reads • More index hits (skip scan, OR) • uuidv7(), virtual generated cols • OAuth2; Ask for Xata access and try PostgreSQL 18.

Σκέφτομαι να αλλαξω το domain name σε ενα απο τα μηχανήματα μου στο homenetwork σε melhisedek - η αλλιως. Μελξι . 😂😂😂

I am pretty sure I am not the first to search for a claude-code cli experience but making use of local Ollama. Reddit to the rescue: - opencode.ai - aider.chat - github.com/amrit110/oli - github.com/tooyipjee/ol... Do you have any other to recommend? Please do tell.

I finally found the time to actually utilize the new Unify Zone based firewall functionality on my Cloud Gateway. I also got inspiration by www.youtube.com/@ethernetblu... . While making changes I did discover some mis configurations on my `iot` network as well. Really interesting things..

First JDK 25 Release Candidate: mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jd... Downloads: jdk.java.net/25/ #JDK25 #Java25 #OpenJDK #TestItNow

I was trying to get inspiration from different repos out there - in order to complete my humble python based - bootstrap my fedora - utility scripts - gitlab.com/javapapo-pub... (decided to go full Python) And then I discovered this nattdf.streamlit.app - just epic..I have no words! Epic #fedora

I am super impressed with my latest LLM powered dev experience. - Claude Code (CLI - running on a terminal view on IntelliJ - Claude Code - PyCharm/IntelliJ Plugin for integration - DevoxxGenie - pointing to my local Ollama server - with qwen-code! All under the same IDE. Epic!

RIP Prince of Darkness

ha! epic!

🧵 As an (Gen)AI experiment, I kicked off a new project in React (which I had zero experience with) using Vibe Coding. The first few days were incredibly productive, and within a week I had 90% of the project done. But for that last 10%, Claude Sonnet 4 just couldn’t help me anymore...

Despite the 2 hour delay due to bad weather at Heathrow, i did achieve a dad milestone. Visited with my son the cockpit! Core memory imprinted. Thank you @aegeanairlines crew and pilots of A3-600 . love for flying for ever

RIP Java Applets. You made Java popular and helped it grow to what it is today. JEP 504: Remove the Applet API has been proposed to target (openjdk.org/jeps/504), so there will be no more applets with the next JDK (JDK 26).

Βαλαμε μολις στο πατροικο της γυναικας μου - starlink! Οκ μπορω να πω οτι ενθουσιαστηκα. Η ελληνικη επαρχεια σε πολλες περιοχες ειναι ακομα σε τηλεπικοιωνιακο μεσσαιωνα και ο ΟΤΕ δεν νομιζω να κανει κατι! Φυσαει το εργαλειο! Τωρα μπορουμε περιστασιακα remote work!

If u have a family and u want to buy a drone - heat me out. Just buy the DJI Neo! Υour kids will love it, you will love it, you have have it in your holidays without second thoughts. It has a super nice camera, gets super quality videos and u dont have to spend 1000s of euros

RIP Michael Madsen - i never understood why he was never casted for Max Payne...

καποιος ξερει απο βασεις στην ΑΑΔΕ - εκανα δημιουργια προσωπικου αριθμου- ενα prefix στο ΑΦΜ - κι εγω ετσι θα το εκανα! Αντε ελπιζω στα επομενα χρονια να αντικαταστησει τα παντα.

im doing what i promised myself not to do- distro hoppingn. Next stop to my journey CachyOs. I m abit disappointed NixOS was almost there, but i was not ready for its wholistic approach especially on dev tools. 🥹😭🥹

I am pretty happy with NixOS - but suddenly Python development is a nightmare and I do miss `sdk` man! Contemplating if this is a deal breaker for me!

#NixOS - it enables you to make the hard things - look easy and the easy things to be hard. I have switched my main machine to NixOS with most of the things ready and reproducible and I have lost hours trying to find the correct config to add a Second Input lang to GNOME/wayland. Its not nixos fault

One of the things that i miss now that i moved to nixos- is that i need to forget uv (python) and sdkman (java) - and adopt the nix way . Opinions? #nix #nixos

Day 4 geeking out with #NixOS! I have now officially nix-fied all my machines! Humble beginnings on maintaining my config on `git` - gitlab.com/javapapo-pub... . I am planning to break it down more, not sure I am ready for homemanager yet. Overall - i enjoy vanilla Gnome.

Bye bye PopOS, im switching to #NixOS for my main machine. Lets do this! #linux

Second day trialing #nixos . Looking good, no problems so far and i have managed to replicate my main env in terms of apps, deps etc.

πρωτη σοβαρη απόπειρα για setαρισμα laptop με NixOS + Gnome. Not bad....

for more than a year my heavily underutilized but strong gaming PC was sitting doing nothing... once per week maybe a game? @frank-k-p.bsky.social suggested that it was time to promote it as my main Linux machine. i was using for my day to day a thinkpad laptop with PopOS. contd

Remove Monaco from the f1 Calendar - there I said it. wtf is that with the 2 pit stops. Booooriiiiing

despite the fact that MS Teams is not terrible lets be honest, its the little things that make it far worse productivity wise than Slack! Its kind of amazing but I miss Slack at work I really do - it is almost like 50% drop in productivity especially in remote teams.

Banks often rely on government securities as benchmarks for their own borrowing. With the U.S. downgrade, yields on Treasury securities have risen, leading to higher funding costs for banks.

It was time for a new monitor....

We are abandonding the last of us . We will keep season1 as epic.. not interested on the show anymore

@stefanis.dev recommended the book called the 'The first 90 days'. Excellent read i love it and today i celebrate my - survived first week at new job! Next milestone 1st month, then 2-3 months ... lets do this. New beginnings never easy ... stressful

#luddite mode - I decided to get a refurbished ipod classic. I think I am going through some small scale tech middle life crisis.

οταν απόφασιζεις να αφησεις μια δουλειά, να κανεις checkout που λεμε και αργοτερα να παραιτηθείς, η απογοήτευση / νευρο / παραπονο που νιωθεις συνήθως δεν είναι για την θεση η δουλεια που αφηνεις ( αν και ετσι νομίζεις ) .

#luddite I just ordered a refurbished ipod classic from ebay to host my mp3s. I am living the dream.

I've written the first article in a series of in-depth articles about authentication and authorization in a microservice architecture. microservices.io/post/archite...

I dont know if I am getting old , weird or whatever but for some reason I really regret that I fcked up my mp3 collection that I spent years, ripping etc. Last weeks Spotify outage, felt weird. I am turning into a Ludditte..ffs!
