A very nice course (and free!) that's happening right now - 3 out of 9 lessons are already available on YouTube. It’s all about "what they didn't teach you during your studies" - Git, terminal basics, debugging, and more.
Worth checking out 😃

D'oh, system update on Pixel devices is one of a kind.
Initially, it displays a message saying "up to date, last checked at 4:06." However, upon pressing "check for update," it suddenly "discovers" a new update and begins downloading it.
Why?! 🙁

toolbx - containertoolbx.org - is quite impressive. 🚀
I just migrated plain npx something into running command from a container - to separate it (a bit... 😉) from my OS.

Guys, we did it. We invented the Commodore 64
Also neat at CES: HP’s battery-powered PC built into a keyboard. Sort of a screenless laptop.

Oh, I just found out that I can replace ngrok with Cloudflare Tunnel 😍
I can use custom domain, with same feature set , or least same for me as I need only plain basic HTTP(S).
Single command to run.
Stay tuned for instruction (as a blogpost!) 😄

When installing the new operating system, I forgot to export my GPG keys. Fortunately, I found a way to read them directly from the backup.
I wrote a post outlining steps (mostly for future me) 👇

Did I wrote - more post about Fedora? Here it is!
Not directly about Fedora, but about SSH, Git and Intellij. And mysterious passphrase popup. 👇

Adding SSH keys on autostart in KDE (for IntelliJ)
Resolving issue with the IntelliJ popup to enter SSH key passphrase - with the, probably, simplest way ever, which is… add all keys after the login!

Welp, my wifi worked pretty slow (like 3-4 times slower than expected!) and I was not sure why.
Turns out that I installed opensnitch in version 1.6.5 instead of 1.8.0 - how? I do not know - which caused issues. 🤦
After update everything works as expected. 🎉

Well, looks like I migrated from Manjaro to Fedora. And I like it!
Fedora (with KDE) seems like the most polished distro I've ever worked on.

Serdecznie zapraszam na #YavaConf w tym tygodniu - będę miał okazje opowiedzieć trochę o Javie zarówno na żywo (w piątek o 17:25, sala 3), jak i w wersji VoD.

If I may present an alternative opinion on cloud outages:
Occasional short reminders of fragility in centralization and smoke-testing of our societal systems with effectively inconsequential events, is important.
There is going to be day gigaoutage culminates, due to lack of minoroutage warnings.
