Snippet: I only started this for fun, as an experiment to disprove trading but I got hooked when my strategies started making thousands on paper over a few weeks. I have now put 6 months into developing a bot and I am in over my head, as AI has allowed me to develop so much so quickly, and my apparent edge quickly disappeared. I build my own candles and have 6 months of ticks. I am spreadbetting 1 (I'm in the UK). I have my o…

Snippet: I'm 23 and seriously considering becoming a pilot, but I keep seeing people say not to do it unless you know you genuinely love flying. I've always had a strong interest in aviation. I drive past the airport on my way to work every morning, and whenever I see the planes coming in to land, I always think how good it would be to do that for a career. I'll even sit there watching airport livestreams on YouTube every now…

Snippet: Before I go into this long essay: This is more technical than some might like but it also explains, from my perspective, how AI, MMO architecture, writing emulators for dearly-loved but still dead games, play or not play together. Why agentic AI isn't the solution to MMO emulation There's a recurring idea in emulator communities lately that goes roughly like this: The emulator has been stuck for years because there a…

Snippet: Hello everyone, I have been studying trading and quantitative systems for quite some time, but recently I have reached a point where I feel a little lost about the right direction. I started from discretionary trading ideas — concepts like momentum, breakouts, pullbacks, market structure, order flow, and risk management. Over time, I began building a more systematic framework: Market Regime ↓ Universe Selection ↓ Str…

Snippet: I've been working on a little homelab project called GRiD and figured I'd finally show it off. It started because I wanted one place to keep an eye on my servers without constantly jumping between Proxmox, SSH sessions and different dashboards. Like most homelab projects, it got a little out of hand 😂 Right now GRiD can monitor my servers, Proxmox hosts, LXCs/VMs and apps , with live CPU, RAM and storage stats. I ca…

Snippet: I keep seeing engineers falling into an AI architecture trap. Some engineers try to solve every problem by prompting to a LLM. Others talk about creating an agent for every usecase. So knowing how to use AI has become a core competency. Otherwise you will waste time, money and DevOps resources. If you want to solve an actual business problem without creating an infrastructure nightmare, 99% of your use cases fall int…

I’m now working with Kubernetes, Key Vault, Storage Accounts, networking, etc., and I’ve realized that I’m missing some of the foundational infrastructure knowledge.

Snippet: I'm currently really digging into the not-so-common data that SEC EDGAR filings provide and turn them into a structured API.

Snippet: I started using Jellyfin on a Proxmox in Ubuntu in Docker. It was working fine, no issues at all. Recently I decided to use Unraid and I installed Jellyfin in Docker. For some reason, from time to time it stops when I am watching something on my LG CX (connected via 5GHZ wifi).

Snippet: What started as a small project turned into a pretty deep dive into Kubernetes, security, infrastructure and AI. KubeGuard can now scan a Kubernetes cluster, inspect resources, collect logs and events, audit security risks and use a locally hosted LLM to help diagnose problems. Along the way, I realized Go + infrastructure is genuinely fun to me. There are still a couple of things to finish, mainly PostgreSQL persist…
