Reducer composition is still the core Redux idea, even though modern Redux code usually starts with Redux Toolkit, configureStore, and createSlice.

I have never been really good at writing. I won some rewards in my childhood. I wrote some shitty verses in my youth. None of those achievements really were significant for the universe around me. It was all like a silly child play with the symbols I barely know.

A practical guide to application configuration: keep deploy-specific values out of code, parse and validate configuration at startup, make precedence explicit, and treat secrets as secrets.

PHP CLI can read environment variables directly, but PHP-FPM intentionally clears worker environments by default. Here is how to pass only the variables your application actually needs.

Linux can report “No space left on device” even when df -h shows plenty of free disk space. One common cause is inode exhaustion: the filesystem can still store bytes, but it cannot create more files.

SSI can still be a useful server-side composition seam for legacy migrations, but today it should be treated as a narrow tool with clear boundaries, fallbacks, observability, and trusted upstreams.

A practical browser-side event architecture: publish domain facts with EventTarget and CustomEvent, keep listeners independent, and know when an event bus is the wrong abstraction.

Virtual worlds can be very different. Some require a sharp eye, some quick reactions, and some a powerful graphics card.

I will immediately answer the question of where I disappeared for a whole year: I did not disappear anywhere. I am quietly living my life, even if it has changed a little lately.

A compact, current recipe for adding a swap file on Ubuntu: create the file, protect permissions, enable it, persist it in fstab, verify it, and know how to roll it back.
