Several people have already blogged about the significance of random_page_cost in Postgres and how it can be a game-changer for your setup and deployments that fetch data from Postgres.

After several years of owning, I think, three different versions of the Apple Watch, I’m moving away from this product as well. My "de-Apple-ification" continues. I still own an iPhone, which I’m relatively happy with, but I’ve either ditched or retired my Apple Watch and old MacBooks (just retired them). The …

It's time for an update on my blog! After taking a hiatus from blogging, I'm excited to say that it's finally back online. For now, I've added two new static sections to my website: Linux and PC.

I continue my journey on using Linux, and I was thinking that I was getting the whole process wrong all these years. I think I am feeling slightly liberated from something that has been holding me back, the 'by the book' syndrome. While I was trying to adopt or partially use Linux I was trying to follow the dogmatic …

Wow, it's almost a year I have not blogged. That's a shame, but it is what it is. I felt I want to save some notes around my attempt to get more serious with Linux, something like notes on things I try every night, so that I have a reference and that I don't forget, because sometimes I just fall asleep and I reset the …

I have been a user of the versions maven plugin for many years but I think I never actually used it to its full potential.
