On its 10th anniversary, Signal’s president wants to remind you that the world’s most secure communications platform is a nonprofit. It’s free. It doesn’t track you or serve you ads. It pays its engineers very well. And it’s a go-to app for hundreds of millions of people.
I need to learn docker. The time has come.
Long day.
I’d even wish it was Chrome but I don’t trust them at all. Brave probably, maybe Arc if they sort out their Windows app. This would be great, to not care about system at all but be able to do everything I need in just a web browser.
Good thing I’ve bought that powerful PC with lots of RAM. I’m gonna need it.
I’d actually love to have all of my life in a web browser. Just that. The web browser. Maybe this is something I should explore more? It’s definitely doable. Or is it?
I’d love to buy myself an Android phone and my wife even said that I should go for it, but I can’t, yet. I’m gonna wait for someone to finally add something like MagSafe (Qi2?) so I can use my wallet and powerbanks. And then I’m gonna change my watch from Apple Watch to something more system agnostic (Garmin?).
Only then, with wife’s blessing, I can buy an Android phone and feel like I’m not just putting money on fire.
Was just listening the Arc podcast (the one about browser) and it’s fascinating that Stripe entire work-stack will be enterprise Chrome only. That’s bold but also VERY interesting.
There’s a good and bad part to it. Good part is that I’m going to just move everything to new, HomeAssistant-only server. Bad part - I’ve got to do it. I have to do “the thing”.
Next time I’m going to consider using RPi4 on something I use everyday just kick me in the head. My old HA setup (that I’m using in current apartment) just broke.
Even though MTG:Arena is not available on Linux it just worked without any modifications just by clicking a checkbox on Steam. This is wild!
New SSD just came in. Ubuntu is already installed. The only issue is that my keyboard doesn’t work nicely with Ubuntu because it’s Magic Whatever Apple Keyboard. I might just get the Logitech MX thing.
I switched to Apple Music a long time ago, but I still use Spotify (and right now, it’s my “main” platform) because finding new music is MUCH easier on Spotify. The “Made for You” playlists are full of either songs I already love or tracks I haven’t heard before but would love to discover.
Also, I’m not sure if anyone at Apple actually uses Apple Music on different devices. It doesn’t matter if I’m on an iPhone, M1 Mac, or Windows machine—on every device, it’s a mess. It freezes, takes forever to load… It just doesn’t work. Spotify, on the other hand, works perfectly fine. It loads instantly, always plays music without issues, and the search function gives me relevant results. How did Apple mess this up so badly?

It started to feel bad to be so deep in Apple ecosystem when I see their greedy behaviour. They’re corporation, sure, but it didn’t feel that bad before.
When you’re curious but need only one spoiler.
Ordered 512GB SSD to put Linux on. Two systems on one machine it is. I’m wondering which one I’m actually going to use more!
Oh, I figured it out. I’ve got couple of SATA disks laying around and I can connect additional two to my PC. I’m gonna get them one of them connected and buy another SSD. So one SSD and one HDD for Linux!
Ok, so wspanialy.eu is unfucked, finally. Everything is set up in place (new server, backup scripts, etc. etc. etc.). Now I can rest. Damn.
Fucked up badly with Wspanialy.eu. Working on getting it back, thank god for daily backups! It will take me some time to get it unfucked.
Today I was already deep into the rabbit hole of getting Ubuntu working on my PC instead of Windows but I think my setup should be more bold. Not Windows on SSD and Linux on HDD but Linux on SSD with Windows VMs. That’s the way to go.
I had Pixel 9 Pro in my basket and now you tell me that most of the AI features aren’t available in Poland? What? The Pixel Screenshot, Magic Library Thingy, Call Notes, what the hell. I mean, I don’t care about Call Notes or Magic Library (I have no idea how it’s called, it’s the thing that draws using AI), but Pixel Screenshot? Seriously?
Last couple of weeks my Windows started crashing so I’m seriously thinking about putting Linux on that machine.
I mean this doesn’t seem so secure if you need to have disclaimers like that.
I’m not great with light packing unfortunately and each holiday was me packing up - apart from a phone - a laptop, nintendo switch, two cameras, etc. And in the next couple of weeks there’s another trip coming right up and I’m gonna fight myself and pack very lightly. No laptop, no nintendo switch, just my phone, one (smaller!) camera and gameboy. That’s it. And it’s gonna be a bit hard for me but this is the only way I’m going to force myself to just disconnect and chill out.
