What has not changed: - Software remains a need. - System architecture remains foundational. What has changed: - Code became a commodity. - SDLC became agentic.

This is the time where all of the coders / software developers should go back to fundamentals and read about design patterns, best practices and architecture. Claude or any LLm can now spit code faster than you - you are still at the helm, it is really up to you

“Washington today is a kleptocracy… [Trump’s] obviously planning to rig the elections.” Financial Times editor @edwardluce.bsky.social explains how the collapse of America is ‘halfway there’ and how Trump is planning to rig the midterm elections. Watch the full interview: zeteo.com/p/geopolitic...

Earlier this month, Boston Dynamics and Google Deepmind announced a partnership. Can’t wait to see the BD robots get LLM-pilled. If the humans don’t do from taking advice from ChatGPT, well, this’ll do it. A Boston Dynamics does some gymnastics.

I feel that the gradual use of AI enabled editors, in my case I am using Zed (zed.dev) along with their LLM integration - is going to make blogging relevant again at least for me. I used to blog a lot in the past , but that faded away for years now. At some point I also abandoned blogspot - cntd

I have been experimenting latetly on `inviting` Claude on my personal bloc and obsidian_vault repos! Especially for #obsidian I think is a great use case. It can propose improvements and things that I never managed to `master` on the way of `Obsidian` that really makes sense! Highly recommended!

Οι badguys επιστρέφουν αλλά με ενα μικρο twist-best effort και ζητάω την βοήθεια του κοινού! Μια προσπάθεια που θυμίζει το papocast! soundcloud.com/user-9534745...

Its almost 2-3 weeks now that I moved away from portainer and adopted this dockhand.pro on my home lab machines! Very very nice!

One of the main reasons i still use Lombok and I feel a bit guilty about it

Avoid saving videos on Amazon Photos. Let me explain. I have an Amazon Prime Membership and its been 5+ years that I use Amazon Photos and the unlimited storage offering + 100GB storage for videos. I dont want to be a drama queen it has been working kind of ok until I discovered that ...

Yesterday i gave Kiro cli from amazon ago, tested side by side with Claude (my main tool) . i was really impressed by Kiro it did find some valid problems on my code , where Claude was more like- i love your code i see no problems! 😂. kiro.dev/cli/

Welcome to the first installment of the Java Geek Weekly after winter time switch. I hope it brightens your evening.

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

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..

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
