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.

Oracle detaches #GraalVM from the Java SE train 👀
• JDK 24 = last with Graal JIT / GraalVM in Java SE
• Native Image discontinued for #Java SE (-> Leyden)
• GraalVM team pivots to non-Java (GraalPy, GraalJS)
👉 Java devs: migrate to C2 JIT & track Leyden AOT work

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

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!

🧵 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...

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).

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
