Rosnovsky Park™

In just under a week, I've been to LP shows in Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, Canada.

I've been trying to think about the good sides of 'AI', but the more I think about, the more I realize that it will only worsen existing inequities.

What a local installment of the No Kings Day parade looked like in a small(ish) town in WA.

🐻 with me, I'm trying something here.

Some videos, songs, pictures and such.

Another year is in the books, it's time for the latest installment of my "Year in Review" series.

Since I've moved out of Russia in 2011, I've been to dozens of concerts.

After 7 long years, Linkin Park is back with their new lead singer Emily Armstrong of Dead Sara, new song "Emptiness Machine", new album "From Zero" (out on November 15), and a new tour.

The summer is almost over, time to reflect on how it all went.

New job, new games, new projects.

Astro just released Astro DB, a fully managed database integrated with the framework itself.

I really wanted to embed some of my Mastodon posts right into my blog posts, but there were no good options to do so.

I run a small Mastodon instance, and recently I've migrated it from a Docker container in Digital Ocean to my own Kubernetes cluster on Hostinger VPS.

Being recently laid off, I expect to send out hundreds of job applications in coming weeks and months.

There's this popular practice among engineers to talk through problems out loud.

Another year is coming to an end.

After years and years of hosting this blog on Vercel, I'm moving away to my own Kubernetes cluster.

If you trying to build a Node 20 image with Docker on Apple Silicon while upgrading from an older Node versions, you may get stuck on the `npm install` step.

I’ve been toying with this side project for a couple of months, and I’m pretty happy about how it’s been going so far.

It's been quite a while since my last update, and I just want to post something to say that I'm alive :)

My expectations for 2022 were really low, but holly hell, it managed to not live up even to these abysmally low expectations.

I'm often angry at Amazon, but this time it's for a reason not directly related to their terrible business practices.

I've deactivated my twitter account recently in favor of Mastodon.

This year I've run an experiment: I replaced the lawn in our backyard with a meadow.

Just wanted to say hi to those who found me here while rediscovering the internet outside of social media.

For the first time in a while, a trip felt truly like a proper vacation.

I can't remember how this tradition started exactly, but every year since, like, 2015 we've been doing this camping thing right around Father's Day.

I've managed to squeeze quite a few vacation days into this weird summer, and just over a week ago my wife and I went camping at the foothills of the Olympic mountains in Western Washington.

Another week, another hike.

Lawns are bad.

After our failed first hike of the season, we've managed to get one recorded yesterday.

The 2022 hiking season is off to a rough start: out of two hikes we attempted as a family, one ended with an impassable road about two miles prior to the trailhead, and the second one… well, let’s just say that we had to turn back sooner than expected.

This is unspeakable: Russia is bombing Ukraine.

Effective immediately, I'm protected by the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 👴🏻

2021 was a very long year.

It's funny how I spend a lot of my free time on tweaking this website, improving this or that, adding a random feature, or falling down a rabbit hole of some technology I may eventually want to use here.

For years I wanted to attend CascadiaJS 2021, a PNW-native JavaScript conference.

At the bottom of this page you can find the latest song I've listened to on Apple Music.

I've been writing stuff that nobody reads for a long time.

I've upgraded my keyboard recently.

2020 was a year of, among other things, missed concerts.

Just a few photos from the bike ride through Arlington, Washington.

Unifi Talk by Ubiquity is a very promising service.

The summer is different this year.

Let's make sure that you never miss an alt text in your image tags using Azure Computer Vision.

It's been such an exhausting yet exciting month.

A a lot had happend in the past month.

This one is short: house hunting is over & family is in town!

An exciting week, full of driving around and anticipation of change.

In order to keep myself accounatble and to develop some writing consistency, I'm going to start posting weekly updates.
