Spotify Podcast Analysis: Daniel Priestley at DOAC the Diary of a CEO
2026-03-18
I recently listened to an episode of The Diary of a CEO featuring Daniel Priestley on Spotify. The episode was so informative and inspiring that I used Gemini to transcribe it and extract the key takeaways for future reference. Then, I narrowed my focus to two specific topics Strategic Value of Personal Branding and Intellectual Inquiry & Financial Analysis of the Predicted 2029 Economic Collapse and asked Gemini to elaborate on them.…
Optimize WireGuard MTU Setting To Stabilize SSH Connections
2026-03-17
After upgrading from my legacy Vodafone modem to the new Vodafone TG3442DE, my WireGuard VPN tunnel became unstable. While basic connectivity remains, I can still ping through the tunnel, interactive traffic fails. Specifically, SSH sessions hang indefinitely during login, causing my automated rsync and restic backups to fail. I searched Can NOT SSH over WireGuard on Gemini, and one of the suggestions was that, while small packets (ICMP) are passing through, the new hardware is dropping or blocking larger data packets, causing SSH to hang.…

2026-03-03
To use rumdl (a high-performance Rust-based Markdown linter) with Sublime Text, you’ll need to set it up as an external “Build System” or integrate it via the SublimeLinter framework. Since rumdl is a newer tool inspired by the speed of ruff, there isn’t a dedicated “one-click” Sublime package for it yet (unlike VS Code or Obsidian). However, it’s very easy to hook up manually.

One day I opened Google search as usual and suddenly I realized the shit I get when I hit enter to search the Internet. Just look at it. These are all sponsored results. Basically just ads. The results “someone paid to show me”.

Fix and improve touch screen sensitivity issues on iPhone after glass screen protector is installed
2022-01-03
Better late than never. Just after detecting two small scratches on my new Apple iPhone 12 Mini 128GB screen I immediately decided to put a screen protector. Tempered glass option was my first thought choice because it is most likely more scratch resistant although slightly more fragile. Apple iPhones are expensive, and it is best to do whatever you can in order to ensure longevity. To be honest I should had installed the screen protector even before the first scratches, anyway better late than never.…
How to convert Apple iOS HEIC image format to JPG in a batch in terminal

Moving from Google Pixel on Android to Apple iPhone on iOS brought new challenges for the photos stored on the Google Photos cloud. The format of the iOS photos is HEIC being a perfect container format for storing individual images and image sequences, but with low out-of-the box system support.
