You know the drill… new year, new setup. Not entirely true, I don’t plan on switching my setup every single year, but I made some changes this year that are worth mentioning. You can read my 2021 setup post here. The main thing I started to miss in 2021 after I built my powerful Hackintosh...
Also: Keep up to date with the fast-paced changing scenery of the tech world.

Do you know those Facebook posts and pages that randomly appear in your feed and you get some real facts? I did not follow any of them, but Facebook seems to know that I like those and randomly shows me those kinds of posts from time to time. A normal human being would read the...

On the 2nd of December I finally decided to make a major upgrade to the device I am working on so I decided to get a Macbook M1 Max, the top configuration with 64GB of RAM and 2TB storage. The problem is that in Romania you only have two options if you want to configure...

It’s been 3 (almost 4) months now since I moved on to my next contract and it’s been quite a nice ride until now. I noticed that even though I planned on writing more stuff on this blog, I’ve been kind of inactive and I hate that. So here I am making a retrospective of...

This week the Diversity Visa 2023 just opened. We did not apply yet, we still have to make good photos for all 4 of us, but we will most certainly apply for the second year, the second try. This year we’ll submit two applications, one for me as the main applicant and one for my...

I’ve started to build this app called PayForSpace really fast and one thing I don’t like about this thing is that I am forced to make compromises. After I checked out the Elrond gateway documentation, I saw that I am only able to get the last 20 transactions and that includes both sent or received...

Well… the good news it’s that the hard moment of starting the first stream in a foreign language has passed! Yeah, today I had my first almost-2-hours stream on Twitch where I started building the PayForSpace app. I’m gonna embed the Twitch recording here at the end of the post, but first, let me summarize...

I have been watching a ton of live coding lately and I really think it is something powerful and nice of other developers. Then, I saw this tweet by Florin Pop: I don't care when people say that coding streams will never be as big as gaming streams. You might be right, BUT, I'm going...
One of the things that annoy me the most is when we visit a shop, no matter if it’s big or a smaller neighborhood one, it that anyone is suspected of being a shoplifter. Have you ever experienced this: you visit a small shop, maybe one in your neighborhood… and exactly where you’re looking for...
We started timidly, with low hopes but confident that if it's God's will, one day we will move to the United States of America.
We participated in the visa lottery for 4 consecutive years and on May 4th,

We owe everything to God, He will help us until the end.

You have really presented this well. Are you going to let Xarthisius publish this on his website?
