Growing up in Brazil, Orkut was as popular as Facebook is now; most people had an Orkut account. Personally, I made a few new friends, connected with some high school colleagues and met a long term girlfriend. I miss its simplicity. The lac

Bare metal means I'm not running on VMs, but on dedicated servers, like the ones you can find on OVH and many others.

I do things in an old-school way. 2 Bare metal servers at different data centers with totaluptime.com acting as a load balancer with auto-failover. Deployment is done via SFTP by pressing the publish button in Visual Studio. This will deplo

I understand where you are coming from, but instead of judging veganism based on one vegan who harassed you, why not read about the fundamental concepts? Peter Singer or Tom Regan are a good start. One way to understand why certain vegans a

Whenever I felt like that, I used a mental hack to make me feel better. I would sit down and start to think (or write) about all the things I am grateful for. Coming from a third world country, it was easy to see how good it was to be highl

After testing several podcast apps for Android, this was the one that stuck. The ability to quickly scroll through unfinished episodes was the killer feature that others are lacking. I listen to different podcasts depending on what I'm
