Ryan Mac has covered Elon Musk for years and was co-author of a book about him, but he’s never seen anything quite like this. He describes what set off the meltdown in Musk and President Trump’s relationship. https://trib.al/Ptxv3dY

I love Reddit, but sometimes it's so glitchy. I try to post and get an error, then I press the button a second time and it goes through - and then I find out that instead of one post, now I have two, and so on... I'm not even starting to complain about moderators and their shenanigans...

Test Postgres in Python Like SQLite https://github.com/wey-gu/py-pglite (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44196945)

Yes… Hahaha… Yes!

I do like DigitalOcean, and I even have some droplets there. The only issue I have is that backups can be either weekly or daily. And if it's daily, I'm limited to just 7 backups from the past week — not ideal, to say the least. 👇

Linux is everywhere - even the barcode scanners in Lidl run on it.

Of course open source software has been used in war before, but seeing ArduPilot Mission Planner being used to blow up Russian strategic bombers is still wild.

I personally think it’s a bit extreme, but having all my servers in UTC and a spare clock on my desk always showing UTC time - that’s something I do.

Saw on LinkedIn there's a CVE-2022-38392 vulnerability that basically says Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation music video can crash certain hard drives.

I was pulling some images from ghcr_io yesterday and it was sooo slow - it took me like 10 minutes to pull a ~200MB Docker image. And this isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this... I’ve never had such issues with Docker Hub. I like GitHub, but their Docker registry definitely isn’t perfect...

Microsoft open-sourced WSL. That’s a fantastic move. I love WSL - I write most of my code there and use it as my SSH client. Not sure what’s happening at Microsoft, but this is one of those rare cases where a corporation is moving in the right direction. 👇

I was off vibecoding for a while, and today, as the weekend is here and some side project is waiting for my lousy-generated shitcode, I opened Cursor - and honestly, I'm lost. 👇

I put a referral link on my blog for Digital Ocean. Probably a bit late - I should’ve done it before I got huge exposure from quite a few newsletters. 👇

Opened a ticket in an open-source repo on GitHub - it didn’t work with the advertised Ansible version. Turns out it was too old, and in reality, a much newer version was needed. It got fixed in a couple of days. 👇

I needed to run some Android .apk applications and was using Android Studio. Don’t know why, but starting the Android emulator takes ages - either my laptop is shit, or being a mobile developer just means spending half your day waiting.

Actually, not sure how I missed it, but you can order it from the Finnish website to Latvia - shipping costs 17.5 EUR, though. 😭 In any case, I ordered it, so I hope my kid will like it.

My oldest is into music, and I'm thinking of buying a beginner-friendly, smaller electronic keyboard. I did a bit of research, and it seems the Visionkey-1 is a pretty good choice - and the price is around 50 EUR, which is a steal! But I can't find any shop that delivers to Latvia. 🫠

I like Ansible, but they’re developing so fast that I always run into compatibility issues - either my host is too old for the newer version, or my playbook is too new to work with an older version of Ansible Core... 👇
