I often choose Linux Mint XFCE when I need a good looking and comfortable system quick. But sometimes I'd rather have a more stable system and match what I have on the server, which is Debian 12 with XFCE. Unfortunately Debian with XFCE doesn't look as good as Mint with XFCE...

My main computer is a Deskmini x600 with an AMD 8700g. I am running Linux Mint 22 with kernel 6.8.0-49-generic. Suddenly I was seeing graphics artifacts and random crashes. I suspected the memory and tested that with memtest86+, but that didn't show faulty memory. I tried...

Data centers promise better and cheaper physical security, rented hardware, electricity and connectivity than you can have on-premise, because of the scale on which these companies operate. I think that is often true and that that's is why most companies moved their machines...

A client asked me: How does one scale software to handle 1 million websocket connections? At 1000k connections when every client sends only one message per 30 seconds you have to deal with 33333 websocket messages per second. Dealing with that many requests...

When you are running a high traffic website you may run multiple PHP servers to handle the load. When you want to track a performance metric (such as API or database calls) you may need to do some high frequent logging for performance analysis. In this blog post we present a standardized...

I don't like laptops, neither to own nor to work on. They are very costly, are hard to repair or upgrade and I get neck and back pain from working on them. I love to work at places where the desk is (properly) equipped with (height-adjustable) monitor, keyboard and mouse. Most...

I am upgrading my 2021 Deskmini X300 to a X600 (finally...). The new machine has an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G instead of a 5700G CPU. It has 64GB DDR5 at 5600MHz instead of DDR4 at 3200MHz. I have the AM5 (instead of AM4) model of the Noctua low profile CPU cooler...

In April I wrote Fyne Mines (Minesweeper in Go using Fyne) and I'm very happy with the release on the Fyne Games page. When further investigating cross platform game development (in Go) I ran into the RayLib engine (and it's Go bindings). During the holidays I decided to recreate...
