Lately, I’ve been feeling the "bloat" of Windows 10. I use an HP Spectre, a beautiful piece of hardware, but out of the box, it’s crawling with HP-specific analytics, telemetry, and consumer-facing services I simply never touch.
In modern development environment, it’s common to host dotfiles publicly—especially for sharing across machines or with the broader developer community. However, this convenience introduces security risks, such as accidentally exposing sensitive information like API keys, tokens, and credentials in public repositories. API keys for services like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Cloud, and more, if exposed, can lead to security breaches and unauthorized access.
This guide is aimed at an intermediate to advanced user. We won't be covering how to setup WSL2 from scratch. There are ample guides for it, but if you insist on following my recommended source, here is a great guide.
Modern python development relies on some form of virtual environment management. pyenv + virtialenv is a goto toolkit for managing both python versions and isolated package environments.
It seems my quest for a low overhead xubuntu desktop comes with its fair share of small annoying little gremlins. Today we talk about how QT5 and Ubuntu sometimes don't play nice specially when it comes to respecting dark mode themes. I will go throuh my motivations to use xubutu, or rather any operating system image for that matter.
Linux graphics is a complex ecosystem involving multiple layers of software and hardware. In this deep dive, I'll explore each component of the Linux graphics stack, from user programs to the final pixel on your screen. On this quest, I will provide practical examples and commands you can run on your Linux machine to interact with these components directly and take a peek under the hood
Running eBPF on WSl2 running on Windows 10 feels forbidden. And yet, that's the entire premise of this blog.
A common conversation I have with Startups and Big Corp leaders alike is, how would the world evolve with GenAI. These conversations have slightly different trajectories depending on whether the leader is a technical person or a product/biz person. While there is a lot of material out there, I have noticed a BS scale evolving.
The Linux kernel is a monumental achievement in the world of open-source
software, driven by a passionate community of contributors.
This collaborative effort has resulted in a powerful, versatile operating system
that powers an estimated 80-90% of the internet. From the smartphones in our
pockets to the vast cloud infrastructure, Linux is the backbone of many
technologies we rely on daily.
Ever wondered what happens when your Linux machine starts? There is a fascinating song and dance between different components which brings a machine to life. Lets dive into the world of booting Linux Kernel.
In today's rapidly evolving software development landscape, staying ahead of the curve is crucial for success. One emerging trend that has gained significant traction is the adoption of Internal Developer Portals (iDp).
I have an admission to make. I, as a person, am impatient and lazy. Impatient because I can’t stop myself from jumping from one problem to the other with absolutely no time. And lazy, well, lazy in the oddest of ways. Let me explain what I mean by walking you through some of my learnings in the last few years. This article would resonate with hands-on tech engineers who are graduating into more rounded/demanding/business/founder roles.
