Now I'd wish I'd upgraded my graphics card when prices were lower. I've just used AI Assistant from Jetbrains using a local LLM and I got good results.

Tuta ⚡ Proton comparison made by Lucentir: lucentir.xyz/companies ✅ Tuta stores less data about you ✅ Tuta tracks less ✅ Tuta shares less ✅ Proton is more transparent Bottom line: Both are good, but Tuta is better. Check all the details: ➡️ tuta.com/best-protonm...

I was trying for a few hours to build a Rails app and I miss clicked the mountable engine instead of API. It was a very confusing ride

Happy new year!

Two legends confirmed for The Pragmatic Summit: Martin Fowler (@martinfowler.com) and Kent Beck (@kentbeck.com) We'll talk about what past booms+busts taught them, and their take on AI+software engineering: what they see working, and what not so much 11 Feb, SF: www.pragmaticsummit.com

It's been a big year at Signal. Thanks to you, more & more people are speaking privately and freely. Thanks to you, we hit the top of app stores in multiple countries & served as critical global comms infrastructure. It's an honor to build Signal for you, with your support. 🩵

Should I relearn Ruby and write a Rails app or should I focus more on Java and Spring Boot?

Passwords. We all hear “make them strong,” but here’s the real deal: SIZE matters. A longer password isn’t just better, it’s harder to crack. Upgrade your security & protect your digital identity: ✅️ Create strong & unique passwords ✅️ Use a password manager Learn more: tuta.com/blog/minimum...

Amazing: The Software Engineer’s Guidebook now has 6 translations, and 8 different paperback versions: Top (left to right): Japanese, Simplified Chinese (China). Mongolian, Korean Bottom: English (India edition), English hardcover, German, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan)

America putting most of its eggs in the generative AI basket, China going hard into green tech. When history looks back on this period, someone is going to look awfully stupid.

How and why I'm learning Zig: blog.senko.net/learning-zig

I kinda like Junie from Jetbrains. It's nice that it is included in the subscription. I use it to automate boring stuff, for example to create an ansible playbook for deploying Stirling PDF as a systemd quadlet and setup the reverse proxy. #selfhosting

I started working on a Rust project that I've created a year ago after one year of not working on it. The pause actually helped because I feel like Rust clicks more with me. I've made some meaningful refactors by sharing code under a common trait and encapsulating data into crates. #rust

Interesting, my super drive (external cd rom from Apple) doesn't work with my newer M1 MBP, it says that accessory needs more power

QEMU 10.2 Officially Released with Live Update Support and Improvements 9to5linux.com/qemu-10-2-of... #Linux #OpenSource

My new Gitlab server has arrived. Mug for size comparison. #self-hosting #gitlab #solodev #developer #linux

Never seen so many copies of my book (The Software Engineer’s Guidebook) - 500 copies (mist still in boxes!) Tomorrow giving away signed copies at the Netflix booth at WAWTech, in Warsaw, Poland. (These are all hardcovers!)

An iPhone has so many privacy and security features that it’s very easy to miss them. Now’s a good time to dive in and get to know them all. ssd.eff.org/module/how-...

U.S. President Donald Trump’s overt embrace of Europe’s nationalists is exposing a rift among its biggest far-right parties. While Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has welcomed Trump’s moral support, France’s National Rally has kept its distance. politi.co/4oSyD9o

I think I finally got the hang of Gitlab's ecosystem. Added a custom runner to it and configured container registry this morning

Happy national day to all Finns!   🇫🇮 & 🇪🇺: The city of Oulu is the European Capital of Culture for 2026. Its culture programme will revolve around the theme of cultural climate change.   For info about the Council in Finnish → link.europa.eu/jdQWYB

Added Tailscale to my VPS which hosts Forgejo. I have an unused 10yo PC at home with fairly decent resources 24GB RAM and 4 CPU cores which I've connected with Tailscale as well, and I'm using the PC as my Forgejo runner.

As we approach the final negotiations of this regulation, we urge lawmakers in the EU to work on a final text that fully protects users’ right to private communication and avoids intrusive age verification mandates. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

What if A.I. companies just didn't use human metaphors like "soul" and "confessions?"

I was still in high school when I started to learn Java. Every day after school I was watching course videos from John Purcell.

The React documentation is pretty thorough. As someone who doesn't know React it gave me a good idea of what it is about. 🤩 Still lave lots to learn though.

Do you still use your PC? Ever since I've bought my NAS and macOs work laptop I feel like I could do all the things using my laptop. I can't game on the macOs though but since Windows is being annoying and anti-consumer I could just wipe it to install steam

That's really nice, Jetbrains has something built in.

There’s a reason boring-wozniak is disallowed

Ibrahim Salami demonstrates how beginners can harness NumPy through hands-on projects, building a high-performance data pipeline from scratch.

Please stop using discord for "community". It's not indexable, searchable on/from the internet. It's a closed silo where information goes to die. Thanks for considering the request.

I’ve written a bash script to backup my server data to Infomaniak’s kDrive. Feels kinda nice, I’m also running it weekly.

1. MacOS laptops > Windows laptops. 2. MacOS has clean UX and no ads, efficient OS. 3. PC sales are declining. Microsoft: Agentic OS that nobody wants nor asked for. Hey, let's bloat your OS more and then make you pay for the features you don't want by showing more ads or something. #windows #msft

The free version of Microsoft Outlook has ads, that sucks because I liked the design and wanted to use it but the ads are a no go for me.
