As the title says - a while ago I was doing something with my operating system Pop!OS and voila, all of a sudden my laptop threw me a pop up saying something like 'low disk capacity - /boot/efi 100% full, 0MB available'.

Here is what to do when you want that ultimate power back. Contents The cause of the issue & Fix (1) How I identified the…

When I am working on a new tech stack or an online course, expecially in the middle of it, I try not to check tech news very much because it's easy to get fascinated by something new and start a project, but it's harder to not get distracted and actually finish what you started.

I wanted to improve Democratic Carpool Karaoke but alas, some of depencies were a bit too old so I looked up how to pretend everything is okay when it's not to upgrade npm dependencies.

Never did I ever think I would spill a glass of water on my precious MacBook Pro. But I did, on one of the worst day of the year for me to do so; 24th December. On 25th most stores would be closed, 26th was a boxing day and most repairers would be still closed and I had something due on the 27th. I had no choice but to go in BestBuy filled with festive muggles and make a quick…
