Make Keyboard Wireless Again (MKWA)
Some time ago I performed switch to the magnificent TEX Shinobi mechanical keyboard. But, with need of usage of 2 laptops on the same table with BT switch between them, popped up urge to utilize more space-efficient setup – hanging laptops on the stands and use the KVM to switch between them.

Kubernetes. Hard way. First part
This story started some time ago with intention to learn a bit about buzz words and their influence to modern word.
