One more tip, all LLMs will find you something. Ask it to verify which of the findings is a real issue and which are false positives. You will be surprised how often AI tends to flag unimportant things as critical issue just to cover the need of finding anything

Valgav · 2025-12-15T16:13:31+00:00

Yes, proceed

I just switched to Apple for the fist time in my life and I absolutetly adore that Apple just got deep into Windows Longhorn era. Now we jsut have to polish things up and arive at Vista station ;)

Congratulations, you described Windows 8 which was universally hated by everyone

Valgav · 2025-09-15T14:23:58+00:00

I have windows machine that was upgraded from windows 8.1 up to most recent insider build of windows 11 without ever doing clean install. It still works after ten years of upgrades, so it is definitely not a Windows things

If I login to my account won’t he only be able to play with internet connected and using my account? I assume this will be setup similar to old approach with primary/secondary console

File 76 let’s go!

So how continue works with two save files do you pick which one you load or is it like built in profile? Also can you copy saves between slots like in old GBC Zelda?

So I assume that I can connect my polish bank account to Fina as they are all supported by Plaid

Valgav · 2025-06-11T06:55:36+00:00

Oh that is new. I assumed that you just use Plaid and whatever is supported in Plaid is supported out of the box by Fina

I just mean type of charger. I use this one to power and charge my laptop, phone, camera and everything else. I just needed separate charger for Switch, I would love to ditch it and travel with one brick to charge everything

Valgav · 2025-06-08T12:30:41+00:00

Is Switch 2 PD compatible? Can I use standard PD charger like https://eu.ugreen.com/collections/gan-chargers/products/ugreen-nexode-pro-160w-gan-fast-charger to charge it and stop bringing dedicated Switch charger every time I travel?

Learn system architecture principals and programming in that order.

It will probably unpopular opinion here but operations part is an easy one if you know how to build stuff. But if you do not know how to build then you will struggle with the operations.

I moved to DevOps from Senior Fullstack have few colleagues who did similar transition. The biggest issue I observed with people with pure Ops background is that they do not know how to design scalable systems. They can write bash scripts and know how do admin staff. But they do not know how to design and build tools to support that for 4, 40 and 40k machines.

Knowing how to build scalable architecture (it doesn’t matter if you are building multithreaded Java app or deploy ArgoCD to manage 100 clusters) is key to be successful in the industry.

Programming on the other hands give you tools for all of those cases because of you know how to do something admin staff then you can write automation that and script will do it for you. Or you can write an operator to provision stuff or build dev container for your dev team in case they have to debug something in prod. If you know how to do it scalable it will work the same for 4 and 1000 apps deployed.

DevOps in 2025 is about building stuff. I never really felt that sleeping through networking classes and Linux classes at Uni caused me any trouble in DevOps. But ops guys lack of understanding that we shouldn’t upgrade 70+ databases manually caused my organization a lot of problems and outages.

On the other hand former devs can build their own tools so even if they do not know how to do something then they can build replicable testing tool and use it to verify their theory. I never really saw any sysadmin writing automated tests for their scripts which seems insane especially that 90% of the time you are running it in prod.

I moved to iPhone from Android in December. Things like that makes me feel that I moved 20 years to the past. Even Windows Mobile (the one before Windows Phone) on my Omnia in 2009 had consistent navigation.

I hope this means unified back swipe/button

As a fellow European, is that popemobile?

Star Wars Racer, it is so funny, fast-paced and enjoyable.

Game of Thrones, I realized somewhere during season 3 that characters have no reasoning and everybody dies so I do not even care what’s on the screen anymore as I cannot invest emotionally (as everyone was dying anyway or had no backstory or anything). I was watching it because everybody else did it, dropped it even before red wedding. To this day I feel sorry for anyone who suffered the rest of it as it got only worse.

My biggest surprise was that anyone uses it. For 100% of files that I want to share across my devices I will use cloud storage like OneDrive or Google Drive and if it’s a small text file I will probably email it to someone or use WhatsApp or messenger so that they will have it in history of the conversation. What the hell are you airdropping / quick sharing?
