After many delays, the movie Tenet has finally come to the cinema. It's amazing. I loved every single bit of it. Almost 2.5 hours of pure awesomeness. #christopernolan4president This is what a good movie is supposed to be like. Go on, go see it. The rest of

Fun fact about me: until this year, I've never been to the Black Sea for touristy, sun bathing and relaxing purposes. I've been there 3 times before: the first time in an April, for a Math Olympiad, when it was cold, the second time in a
hiking
I have to admit that I haven't seen too much of my home country. I've set foot in at most half of the counties and I've actually visited and done touristy things in even fewer of them. I've visited more countries than
boardgames
Last weekend I played a fun game called Azul, which has won many awards, among which the famed Spiel des Jahres in 2018. The name comes from "azulejos", Portuguese tiles made by the Moors. A portugese king fell in love with them and tasks the players with making
docker
A while ago I noticed in Task Manager that there is a process called Vmmem running and it's using about 5-15% CPU constantly. A quick duckduckgoing revealed that it's a virtual process that represents the total system usage by VMs. Alright, so it's not

kubernetes
After nearly clearing the wrong Kubernetes cluster, I decided to add the name of the currently active cluster to my Powershell prompt. There are plenty of plugins to do this in Bash/Zsh/fish, but not as many for Powershell. It's not hard to do, but the syntax
camping
I have never been camping in my life. I slept once in a tent in my aunt's backyard, with my cousins, but that doesn't count. This year I've decided it's about time to fill that gap in my life and actually sleep
tech
I sometimes give talks at the local tech hub in the city where I live. It's not a big community, but I enjoy giving talks and they often provide a necessary deadline and motivation to finish some projects. Last week I gave a talk about Rust. Given that
blog
It's been almost two months since I have started the #100DaysToOffload challenge. During this time I have managed to write 25 blog posts, which is more than I wrote last year in total. But in June I found myself posting less and less often. What's going

I've been a long-time fan of Google-made/branded phones. Back in 2014, I got a Nexus 5. Then I moved on to a 5X. Then I explored the other side, having an iPhone 6S for a year. I was not impressed by iOS, so then I switched back
