Maximizing page performance and security with Cloudflare tuning

Info I use free tier of Cloudflare and all recommendations assume only those are available. Why to cache statically generated blog? My Blog is statically generated website served from Github Pages  external link . As Github don’t allow to easily set my own domain (at least in free version), I needed some kind of proxy that: can serve page from my domain, will provide valid certificate for HTTPS. Info...

New Year's reflections and Leadership path

Almost 2 years ago I was promoted to a Team Lead position. Since then at least half of my time is dedidcated to “the people’s stuff” 😄 On one side, I have less time to code and write about technical stuff, which sometimes makes me feel guilty (just a little bit). On the other side, I’m discovering a whole new world of possibilities to solve technical problems without touching the code (almost)....

How to run Google Tasks in separate browser tab?

I’m a fan of Getting Things Done1 methodology and I recommend to read the book of the same title to anyone. I know, it looks like a typical, american corpo bull****, but it’s not! Wheter you’re a busy manager or a father of three - it might help you to manage things you have to do, on time and with less stress. I’ve been trying multiple apps to support this methodology, but eventually I stick to Google Tasks app 2....

Zwift

How to run Zwift in full screen

Zwift runs by default in windowed mode, with ugly start menu at bottom and title bar. It’s not a big deal, just something irritating. It might be as silly as funny, but I wasn’t able to find a good answer for it. There are instructions but, where the heck is “Settings” button? 😄 Eventually, accidentaly I found it! So let me share, with pictures 😎 Find in top-right corner icon with your points and click it From menu, choose “My settings” In new window, choose “Sound & Display” tab There it is!...

Changing comments provider for my blog

I’ve been thinking about switching comments system to something different on my blog. Since I moved to Hugo  external link , I used Disqus  external link . Integration was easy and it was also easy to move comments from Wordpress. Maybe the move was easy, but people somehow didn’t like the interface. I receive 6 comments since I switched from Wordpress 3 years ago 😄 To be honest, I don’t like it too....

Use Github with SSH on port 443

Today, I was trying to pull/push repos from Github and I was getting timeout errors. I use SSH for clonning and I prefer it this way over HTTPS. I was looking for the reason but it felt like a temporary glitch, either on Github’s or my provider’s side. I was googling for anything, that could help me and I found1 the way to use Github ssh clone/push/pull via SSH (as I want), but via port 443… Simulating HTTPS traffic… OK…...

The best way to get NVM working in CI/CD systems

TL;DR While reasoning is important, readers may not be interested in all the frustrations I experienced while figuring out how to get things done. If you’re looking for a quick solution, skip to the “What eventually worked?” section. However, if you’re interested in the thought process behind the solution, keep reading. Why? Some might bother why the hell I’d like to make my life so hard? 🤣 We used to use nodeenv  external link for that purpose....

Change configuration of Docker daemon in Rancher Desktop

I switched recently from Docker Desktop  external link on my MacBook to Rancher Desktop  external link . The most important reason for me to do it, was possibility to gently switch between docker and containerd runtimes. There’s still one feature that I miss on Rancher Desktop - possibility to change Docker daemon configuration. I used to enable experimental features1 and BuildKit2. Sadly, there’s no easy way to do it on Rancher… But there’s a magical way3....

Best practices for writing Dockerfiles - Use VOLUME for all mutable, temporary file locations

IMO people don’t understand how VOLUME1 works so they don’t use it. It’s generally used far too rarely! In short VOLUME means two things: Whatever is left in directory marked as VOLUME, stays there and can’t be changed in later layers (actually it can be changed but changes won’t be persistent). Volumes are not part of layered image FS. They’re mounted as anonymous volumes located on standard file system. This means they’re working much faster....
