Francesco, you are so productive!

Many know me now for being a very productive, active, and a morning person.

Have I always been like this? Absolutely NOT!

What has changed for me? How can you change your life? Let's see it in 5 minutes.

Inspired by @Shruti_Narwani
/thread
In 2012 for personal reasons, I was depressed and without the slightest desire to do anything.

What do you we in these difficult moments?

The first thing is to keep ourselves busy, literally with anything.

For example, I got my motorcycle license and started kickboxing

1/11
Then we have to work on ourselves, starting from the basics.

We cannot expect our life to change in one day, but we can decide the direction we want to go in.

Exercising and putting yourself in the best physical condition, is very important and at the basis of everything

2/11
Then comes the plan: having a goal, a big and ambitious purpose.

For me, it was to have my financial independence and buy a house. I did it 2 years later and it was a great moment!

And no worries, your plan will change! But it's good to have one at least to start from.

3/11
We need a place to work in peace.

If you don't have it, you should try hard to go in that direction: a friend's house, work when the world is silent, either late night or early morning.

It is not something that happens in a day, but it is a slow process of improvement.

4/11
We should think in terms of months and not hours.

If we have rested for 2 hours on the couch we should not feel guilty.

If we have spent many hours on the couch in the last 6 months, it's time to do something about it.

5/11
Understand what works for us.

Not everything works for everyone, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.

we need to know and train them both to achieve our goals, especially the uncomfortable weak points.

As we train our bodies, we can train our minds.

6/11
Do what you want. Really.

But find a way to monetize it.

If you want to play games, try to get paid to do that, if you like to make videos, try to get paid to do that. If you like to write books, same.

Turning your passions into dreams is a life hack

7/11
Know when to stop.

Don't do too much in one day.

We overestimate what we can do in one day and underestimate what we can do in a year.

if you are tired rest and continue the next day.

I know this! I fell asleep on the keyboard sometimes during my early days as a coder

8/11
Work on good habits.

My best one is to wake up early and walk 2/3 hours.

I go to bed very early, but I found that I am productive in the morning and lazy in the evening.

I changed my schedule to be more productive

(Yes, I used to sleep and wake up randomly 10 years ago)

9/11
Recap:

- keep yourself busy
- work on yourself
- decide a plan (that will change)
- find the place to work
- think in long-term
- do what works for you
- do what you want (but monetize it)
- know when to stop
- work on good habits

And some luck never hurts.

I studied Blockchain at University.

Now I decided to learn it again. From Zero.

Here is a thread to summarizes what I have studied so far.

/thread Image
Summary:
· What is a Blockchain
· Blocks
· Resistance to modification
· Secure by design
· Structure
· Verification
· Robust workflow
· Value Exchange protocol
· Layers
· What is a Blockchain

It's a growing list of records (blocks)

The Blocks are linked together using cryptography.

It's described as an immutable data storage:
- trustless
- fully decentralized
- peer-to-peer
- immutable

It's spread over a network of participants (nodes)

Creating Content is not easy, and the reasons are many.

In about a year I have collected the most important BLOCKERS.
I have experienced all of them.

- Lack of time
- Lack of ideas
- Not feeling ready
- Fear of judgment

Here are my short answers to all of them:
/Thread
Lack of time 1/2

This has always been my favorite excuse.
If we really want to do something you will find the time.

If it ever happened to you, when you fall in love, suddenly you have a lot of free time.

If you really want to create some content, give it the right priority.
Lack of time 2/2

I wanted to start YouTube in 2010.

I released my first video on August 7, 2020.

I've posted 193 videos.

My "secret"? Many videos are of me talking to my friends or people I think are important to the tech world, and I'm really interested in their stories.

What are dangling images in Docker?

Probably if you worked with docker locally, it happened to see something like this using `docker images`

The dangling images are those ones with <none> as [Repository] and [Tag]

Ugly uh?

Let me explain what's going on: a list of docker images, with a lot of <none> <none> as repo
A dangling image is one that is not tagged and is not referenced by any container.

Why are they there?

Reasons could be different, but the most common case is when you build another image using the same tag

(Side note: don't build a production-ready image with the same tag)
To see just the dangling images on your system, you can use the command:

`docker images -f dangling=true`

what a good show, right? only images with <none> <none>

Lifecycle of Docker containers (Thread)

A diagram with some additional information below about the lifecycle of containers.

This is a simplified version, there are other commands (kill, ...) and other intermediate states

Let's see them:
docker create

Creates a new layer over an image with a writeable container.

It prepares it to run a specific command (the one specified in the Dockerfile)

Useful to set up a configuration so that it is ready to start when needed.

Status of the container: "CREATED"
docker start

Starts one (or more) container.

This command can either be used::
- To start a container just created with the docker create command
- To start a stopped container

I've dealt with a lot of negative comments in my life.

When I was a coach I got yelled at by people who didn't agree with my choices.

That's why IDGAF about a comment written by an anonymous user who hides behind a keyboard.

But someone does.

This thread could help you.

1- Never take it personally:

Think they:

- had a bad day,
- just broke up,
- lost their job,
- got their car stolen
- their house went up in flames

But don't take this as a direct attack on you or your family.
2- Responding is usually more harmful than ignoring.

This does not mean that we must passively accept any accusation, but probably answering it will only fuel discussions.

Also, there are people who like to argue all day long.
That's their hobby.
