If you’ve ever had to modernize a system where “just don’t touch it” was the safest strategy ... At @wearedevelopers.bsky.social in July, I will share my honest take: where AI agents can actually help with legacy modernization, and where human judgment still matters. ⬇️

This week, I learned about Tinycast as a macOS Spotlight Open Source alternative, and was curious to try it. 🌱 New tutorial with first setup, settings, use cases with app launcher, timezone conversation and emoji search: dnsmichi.com/2026/09/19/t...

Unplugging in busy AI times is not easy. I found a unique spot in South Tyrol, only reachable by cable car, with scenic views over the dolomites, hiking, spa treatments, high quality food, and kind humans - to recharge my batteries. :) dnsmichi.com/2026/08/04/r...

On my way to Frankfurt, testing @gitlab.com Orbit with SDLC context graphs & queries about vulnerabilities - works well on the train 🔥 Live demos in "What‘s new in GitLab: Live, unrehearsed and agentic" - tomorrow in Frankfurt, next week in Berlin. 🤗 Register: about.gitlab.com/events/dach-...

In busy times, relaxing with LEGO is like brain yoga. LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight put it on next level - incredible humor, visuals, puzzles, story together with game mechanics: A grappling hook and glider. Imagine flying over Gotham … and forget about time. 11/10. 😎

Started reading @theembeddedrust.bsky.social newsletter. Love the combination of Embedded with Rust, and AI/ML - super insightful and inspiring for own homelab learning :) Latest #69 in www.theembeddedrustacean.com/p/the-embedd...

My 6th year at @gitlab.com felt like “one year worth for ten”: embedded DevSecOps homelab experiments, AI agent workflows, a six‑city DACH roadshow, a Principal promotion, and a new way of working. This reflection captures what happened, what I learned, and why I stay. 🦊 dnsmichi.com/2026/03/02/o...

My blog on dnsmichi .at has run Ghost in Docker since 2020—deployed with a single shell script. 😅 In 2026 I finally fixed that by replacing the manual Nginx proxy with Traefik and automating the setup with Docker and Ansible. dnsmichi.com/2026/02/22/f... Kudos to @dbodky.me @traefik.bsky.social

🐳 Docker Compose Tip #2 Same compose.yml for dev/staging/prod: docker compose --env-file .env.dev up docker compose --env-file .env.prod up No more copying env vars around. Each environment gets its own file. More: lours.me/posts/compose-tip-002-env-files/ #Docker #DockerCompose

2026 experience update for my all-remote workspace: Razer Leviathan V2 X Soundbar improvements, and travel equipment efficiency with Peak Design Tech Pouch, and more tips. 🌱 And an updated picture from January 2026 with new Easter eggs in my Zoom background. 🌈 🦊 dnsmichi.at/2026/01/05/a...

Loved seeing my AI learnings resonate well in my talk at Open Source @ Siemens -- in a step-by-step learning story where LLMs cannot make recommendations for the Open Source @ Siemens 2025 event schedule to fixing it … and much more. Resources in www.linkedin.com/posts/dnsmic...

Soooo looking forward to Open Source @ Siemens next week, meeting friends again 💜 I'll bring my "Learning AI 101" stories 🌱 👣 AI on Embedded and Agentic AI learnings? Yes! 😅 Slides finished? Well. I'll post them later. Everyone can contribute - join the live stream www.linkedin.com/posts/siemen...
