The main problem with my Apple Watch is the battery. This brought me to Garmin two years ago when I am too slow to finish a marathon before my battery ran out. Now I am back on the Apple Watch again and i find it more useful on a daily basis and I don’t have to fight with the charging plug

I wonder what is going in Apple with the Preview app icon. The previous one had no connection to its purpose. It had a shape that was eventually recognisable. Now they have fixed and it’s a blurry square blob with a round blob on top. Still no intuitive link to what the app does. #apple

Ingress NGINX is retiring in 2026. Kubernetes teams should start planning now. The Gateway API offers a standard, expressive model for traffic management, and kgateway provides a production-ready path for migration with lower risk. www.pulumi.com/blog/ingress...

One of the best parts of using agents for development is to avoid searching through documentation when you know what you want to do, but finding out how to do so is difficult. #agenticdevelopment #claudecode #cursor #claude

Derailleur hangers on bikes are possibly the most annoying component. If the derailleur itself breaks, you can easily find a new one. However if the hanger breaks, you have to find the one shop in the country that has them in stock or the bike frame is garbage.

Not only has email been taken over by spam, at some point email started using formal language. Why would you open with Hi x? Also people add a lot of blurb beneath the Hi x and then at some point when you gave up reading, they put important stuff. There is a reason I tend to not respond to email.

Yes, some customers will flee AWS. Most however realise that it happens to all cloud providers and it happens when you serve on prem. For the world, it would be a good idea if services were more evenly distributed at different vendors and not just the big three either.

AWS US-EAST-1 is down. A major AWS outage has taken down several popular services worldwide, including Signal, Fortnite, Alexa, Snapchat and many more. The specific cause of the service outage is currently unclear, according to AWS and they are working on fix.

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

This AWS US-EAST-1 issue causing all of AWS to be down is proof that running on a single cloud provider is not a good thing. We are spreading out now, but unfortunately we still rely on AWS so we are down

This is so true. A lot of people have had bad experience with some AI and so dismiss all AI. The truth is that there are powerful AI agents that are very capable now. We need to embrace them and use them for what they are good at while we need to stay focussed enough to verify and adjust the output.

This is the way. Use GUI for GUI stuff and terminal for the things the terminal is better at. Enjoy the freedom of tools.

An AWS API Gateway can easily talk to a lambda that lives in a VPC. An AWS API Gateway can't talk to an ALB that lives in a VPC. There is a construct called VPC Link, but it only works with NLBs. To make an AWS API Gateway work with an ALB in a VPC, I have to add an NLB and double the cost. Why?

As a startup or right, we're a scaleup now; we often get security questionnaires by large customers. These often contain irrelevant questions, but we have to complete them. Today I have sent a security questionnaire to one of our enterprise service providers. I hate that this feels so good

@emollick.bsky.social main takeaway from security audit. Need to list all important and not so important vendors. Follow-up will mostly be risk assessment for these vendors

First round with ISO27k audit went well. I learned that the vendor list is very important and I had only listed the major one so I got some extra work. Today will be deep dives. Our engineering stuff should be good. What have a missed?
