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...

Sounds like the problem the article has with eSIM is not an eSIM issue, but an operator issue. To start using a new phone, I can just get WiFi up, install the operator app and log in with BankID.

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

I wouldn’t risk putting a SIM that had been exposed to salt in a new phone.

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

I have never had a problem with eSIM. Physical SIM however. If your phone is accidentally exposed to salt water and dies, the SIM is also ruined. You can buy a phone on the spot, but only get a new physical SIM if there is a physical store nearby for your carrier.

Anyone have a cool set up for iPadOS for running terminals for using Claude code?

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 24/12/2025

I want the same thing. Have actually consider a raspberry pi as Claude frontend, but phone or tablet is better

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 20/12/2025

Creating tools similar to that was where I initially started using Cursor. These days I use Claude Code for main codebases while I use Cursor (and testing Antigravity) for those tools.

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 08/12/2025

My experience is that Claude Code beats Cursor for multi file refactoring. I do that all the time.

I ride in Oslo winter and the situation is often the same. My mudguards are some plastic things with elastic bands. I have bought and tried to mount several sets of metal mudguards, but I have concluded that it is probably easier to glue a live spider to my bike than mounting metal mudguards 😥

Except if you use k8s, you don’t need AWS or GCP. Much better alternatives unless you some of their other services

Knut Hellan @knuthellan.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

The worst part of it is that it stops in the middle of a task so I can't just jump over to Cursor and continue

The new network is down we might as well call it a day: "5-hour limit reached · resets 3pm (Europe/Oslo) · contact an admin to increase limits" #ClaudeCode

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.

The mighty 6502 was more efficient than other 8 bit CPUs of the time. It was the inspiration of the original ARM chip. It was amazing in every way.

That’s the most readable assembly code I’ve seen I think. Also gave me flashbacks to 6502 coding for the C64 when I didn’t have macros and had to manually deal with memory addresses 😅

Have you looked at Grogg (grogg.app) I like it since I can use it as a plugin inside Cursor

This is similar to what I had fun with lately. I use Cloudfleet to manage a k8s cluster with servers in Hetzner and also a few other Hetzner resources. #pulumi #hetzner #cloudfleet

There was a time when strange incidents with services required digging through configs, source code and more to determine both what exactly happened. Now I give the logs to Cursor or ChatGPT and ask for help. Review the response and either apply myself or ask for #pulumi update #devops

Oh, I have tried different terminals, but the goal was to find the right set of features. And you are right, I use classic Vi/Vim occasionally, and a shit load of bash one liner loops with several pipes

I have used Terraform in the past. I have mostly used AWS CDK the last years. Lately, I have started setting up services outside AWS and I chose Pulumi to use code rather than YAML. I really like it and you may use Terraform providers when no pulumi native providers exist.

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

You make that sound bad, but it is a good thing. Many people have decent USB-C power supplies lying around. The last years, the Pros have shipped with MagSafe power supplies that can’t be used for anything else. I never use mine. It is electronic waste.
