Recently, I switched to the Apple ecosystem of devices almost entirely and transitioned all my data into iCloud for ease of usage. The main issue I encountered was that not all popular video formats are supported. It could have been a better experience moving years of photos and videos to the service.

The past few years have been a tough time for me. I was in a deep life crisis and was no longer willing to work on my website. It was always a hobby without commercial or social use, a tiny factory for regular bills. I was in debt then, so I killed it without a second thought or regrets.

Git rebasing is a helpful tool that allows developers to integrate changes from one branch into another in a cleaner and more streamlined way than merging. One of the main advantages is that it can help keep the Git history more organized and easier to follow.

Who needs all those paid certificate providers while we have such a brilliant project as Letsencrypt? It allows a domain owner to obtain a valid certificate for his domain in a matter of seconds without the boring stuff like generating CSR, making DNS verification records or even passing documents to the certificate issuer center.

Books were hard to get at a time when I was a kid. They were expensive and, moreover, there was a complete lack of them.
