One of my favorite apps on the Mac is Alfred, I literally cant live without it and I have been a loyal customer for years. I moved away from Spotlight years ago. While using [PopOS] (https://pop.system76.com/) I instantly felt the urge for something similar. There is already a [Launcher] …

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.

So I was trying to consume an API (HTTP/JSON) with response text/javascript 1 Content-Type: "text/javascript" I had totally missed …

I am going to be make a short break from the migration of old blog posts, this is really eating a lot of my energy, and I am not spending it writing a new post. Just a few lines for my new addition on the home networking front. It's hilarious because I was reading posts of mine from the past, something like 10 years …

Η μετακόμιση συνεχίζεται as we speak, αλλά είπα να την παγιώσω με αυτό το post. There is no way back· έχω ήδη …

I guess I am old enough to remember the days when I had to configure Quartz on some old JavaEE application, troubleshoot a failed task maybe (Quartz is a very good library by the way)? Maybe some times it was a @Schedule EJB 3 job? Years go by, and we start getting used of Spring's @Scheduled beans, Micronaut has a …
