  1. Trying to decide how to ruin my productivity this weekend.

    Do I jump back into Elder Scrolls Online or finally take the plunge on Final Fantasy XIV?
    I've played ESO before and loved it. FFXIV keeps coming up in conversations but it's a big commitment.

    Convince me. What would you do?

  2. Fired up StarCraft II for the first time in years this week!

    Still incredible. Some games just hold up. Sometimes the best thing you can do for your brain is step away from the terminal and go defend a base from a Zerg rush.

    What's your go-to game when you need to decompress?

  3. What a morning 😓. My Hetzner server crashed due to full storage 💾. I tracked down the issue and fixed a bunch of things before work, and I’m already wiped out 😩. The biggest downside to running your own stuff is definitely all the maintenance and repairs. #TechLife #SelfHosting #Homelab

  4. A client asked for a server install for a specific CRM developed by one of Italy's biggest software houses. They’re dropping Windows Server 2022 support in a few months, even though the OS itself has a much longer lifecycle.

    We looked into Linux support: Rocky Linux 9 and Ubuntu 24.04 are "certified", but only until April 2027. Since we'd rather not reinstall everything in less than a year, we asked for a path that guarantees official support beyond 2027.

    The "support" team replied with a canned response, attaching a 2023 document where every single distribution is listed as EoL since 2025. 🤡

    And then people ask me why these "software giants" are the primary cause of my receding hairline...

  9. Just a small life update.

    After losing my good phone in the robbery, I currently have to rely on my old device again, and it’s struggling badly. The battery barely lasts anymore, so I need to reduce power usage and keep things as lightweight and minimal as possible. Because of that, I’m stepping away from some platforms and rethinking which communication networks I truly want to depend on in the future.

    What I will continue using and keeping are open and decentralized networks like XMPP, Matrix, SimpleX, Nostr, and the Fediverse. Those spaces feel far more independent, resilient, and aligned with the kind of digital future I want to support.

    Step by step I’m rebuilding my setup, simplifying things, and focusing more on privacy-friendly and decentralized technology again. Sometimes losing a device really changes the way you think about communication, ownership, and dependence on centralized platforms.

  14. Stop burying decisions in email threads.

    Move the conversation to a threaded discussion instead! Slack, Teams, whatever you use: where context stays attached, replies are organized, and nobody has to scroll through a reply-all chain to find the answer.

  19. A Linuxban az a jó, hogy amikor már azt hiszed, végre minden működik… akkor kiderül, hogy csak eddig nem nézted a logokat.

    De pont ez benne a szép. Nem egy fekete doboz, hanem egy rendszer, amit tényleg meg lehet érteni. Néha szívás, néha káromkodás, néha hajnali „na most már működj légyszi”, de amikor végül összeáll, az érzés verhetetlen.

    És valahol ezért nehéz elszakadni tőle. Mert nem csak használod - hanem lassan kiismered. Aztán egyszer azon kapod magad, hogy már magadtól javítasz meg olyan dolgokat, amiktől pár éve még csak néztél volna üveges szemekkel.

  26. From Laundry to Linux: Two Productive Days in Lusaka

    Yesterday (April 30) and today (May 1), I spent some time doing laundry while also setting up my Raspberry Pi with Umbrel OS. I installed the software I need and started backing up my data today, deciding to go with Seafile for it.

    I worked on all of this at the hostel, then took a walk to the university and continued in the library. Later, I went to a burger place and enjoyed a Friday deal.

    Here are some photos from these two days.

  33. One of the smallest changes that made the biggest difference in my workday: scheduling Do Not Disturb. Not turning it on when I remember. Actually scheduling it.

    Deep work hours in the morning. Lunch. After 6pm. Blocked and protected. Notifications will always be there when you're ready for them. Your focus window won't.

    What hours do you guard the most?
