This article shows how you can easily inject a generic key/value into Google Cloud Monitoring and set up alerts on it. I use it to alert on disk space, and now also low battery!

This morning I was in London, and I forgot my charger at home. With plenty of time but ๐Ÿชซ little battery, I thought: hey! I need to have a way to predict when my battery is low! And I need to do it in a totally overkill way!

Spaghetti bolognese: Everyone knows them… except Italians. Right, read it again if you don’t believe me… in Italy we don’t prepare that kind of pasta. What the hell, you may be wondering… Italy is famous for spaghetti and bolognese sauce (that we call “ragout alla bolognese” or simply ragรผ, but we would never mix these two things in the same dish). Why oh why, you may as well think? I think the reason can be found in two ways.
