Today I was working with some ADMX files (yep...) in #VisualStudioCode, but they lacked syntax highlighting. Initially, I thought I would need an extension for this, but (thankfully) I was wrong. These files are basically XMLs, and highlighting for XML is available.

Oh, microVMs on #Proxmox - I must check it out locally, cuz it looks pretty awesome. And seems a nice idea to run e.g. Forgejo Actions workers using this. Write-up from @rcarmo here 👇 https://taoofmac.com/space/blog/2026/06/18/1845

Pretty nice write-up about regressive JPEGs - the cool feature that allows to provide low-resolution image while higher-resolution is still downloading. https://maurycyz.com/projects/bad_jpeg/

I must say that process of updating Proxmox (in my home lab) is quite... nice and easy. Even with multiple nodes it is: * mark as maintenance, * drain node (to not have any containers / VMs running), * update & restart. And that is all. Both 7->8 and 8->9 worked flawlessly 🚀

I was pretty sure my notebook had a Thunderbolt port, but it turns out it doesn't. I discovered this 4 years after buying it, so it clearly wasn't that necessary! 😂

I am happy to share that I have been recognized as an Oracle ACE Pro! The best part of the community is still the same: people, sharing knowledge, learning from others, and the talks between the official parts of events. See you somewhere 'in the wild' 👀 #OracleACE

Everything works 🚀

This is the time for my first upgrade to newer #Fedora version! 🚀

This is that famous work-life balance guardrail from agents? 😂

"Microsoft Has Killed Widgets Six Times. Here's Why They Keep Coming Back. " is a very interesting piece that describes multiple attempts to bring widgets to the Windows. (link at the end of the thread! 🧵)

A nice text about working on side projects 🙂 > The enterprise will teach you how to write code that survives, but the shed is what ensures you actually still want to write it. 👇 https://dylanbutler.dev/blog/protect-your-shed/

A very interesting read about why Switzerland has fast consumer internet connections while the USA and Germany do not. "The Free Market Lie: Why Switzerland Has 25 Gbit Internet and America Doesn't" - https://sschueller.github.io/posts/the-free-market-lie/

I love working with #Java. I wanted to upgrade the app runtime from 17 to 21 - all I needed to do was install the new runtime, change the java.version property to 21, rebuild, and deploy. And that is all - everything is working perfectly 😍

Okay, but wut? What is MacBook Air doing on my Thinkpad with Fedora? Discord, go home, you're drunk 😂

Very interesting read about JVM exceptions and how they are handled by catch and finally blocks. https://purplesyringa.moe/blog/jvm-exceptions-are-weird-a-decompiler-perspective/

Reading announcements like this makes me want to buy a Mac just to install Fedora on it 😂 https://fedoramagazine.org/fedora-asahi-remix-43-is-now-available/

📅 JEurope 2026 — March 24 | Warsaw 🇵🇱 Join one of the largest Java-focused conferences in Warsaw—and catch #OracleACE speakers sharing practical insights on today’s Java technologies, tools, and real-world challenges 🤝💡 jeurope.pl #OracleACE

Today I finally finished my two-day journey of migrating tests to Testcontainers. This included running those tests on a GitLab CI runner that runs all in Docker. TBH I am starting to miss plain old Jenkins 😂

Nice write-up about resurrecting an old MacBook with Framework stuff - results in 'FrameBook' (catchy name!). Looks very nice! https://fb.edoo.gg/

TIL: Podman, by default, copies the content of host's /etc/hosts to container /etc/hosts. To prevent this, put the following content in ~/.config/containers/containers.conf: [containers] base_hosts_file = "none"

Yesterday I was working with an agent refactoring some code. The agent applied the changes, praised itself for the nice code, and tried to commit. It failed to commit and then reset the changes. 😂 The next step was "Oops, I removed the changes, I will now recreate them". 😂

Funny TIL - Apple Silicion chips (including those on mac books) have accelerometer built in, but not exposed. But somebody found it and wrote a script to read data from it 😄 https://github.com/olvvier/apple-silicon-accelerometer

Announcing TamboUI xam.dk/blog/announc...

I just saw an announcement for TamboUI on Reddit - a terminal UI library for #Java. It looks awesome! 🎉 Link to the page: https://tamboui.dev/

A very nice feature of @jooq.org - implicit joins! No need to explicitly join child tables to retrieve parent's columns. SQL that feels like ORM :)

Today I found out that #Firefox has a feature called 'containers' that allow to separate different accounts in single profile. Nice! 😎 Docs:

How to use Firefox containers | Firefox Help

This article explains how to use Firefox containers with the Multi-Account Containers extension, to organize your online activities.

And here we are - Tuesday, the last day of jChampions Conf! Just like the previous days, we've got 7 sessions today and again (coincidence? I think not!) these three look the most interesting to me 👇🧵

On Apple M3, a Linux KDE plasma desktop under Fedora Asahi Remix is now WORKING! Super excited to share this update and happy to answer any questions! Co-credits to noopwafel and Shiz. :)
