Weekly Digest #1
Hello everyone!
Almost 5 weeks had passed since the beginning of 2021, and I decided to continue the practice of writing weekly reports that I started last year.
As you probably already noticed, the new reporting posts are different from last year.
Main differences
| 2020 posts | 2021 posts |
|---|---|
| publication in Russian only | publication in Russian and in English |
| numbering is rigidly linked to the week number | sequential numbering |
| cover image without title | cover image with title |
| planning without details | specific goals |
The main change is the publication of posts in English. I find it difficult to write in English, and therefore the sentences are rather short. I hope that this at least accurately conveys their meaning 😃.
I want to first write the post in English and only then translate it into Russian. Also, I want to publish posts with some delay - first a post in English, then the same post in Russian. This is the my method of teaching English 🙂
Retrospective
January went by very quickly and I’ve posted almost nothing on the blog since the beginning of this year.
What I can say that’s interesting is that I tried Oracle Cloud in practice. As part of the free plan there you can create 2 virtual machines with 1 vCPU 1 Gb RAM and 35 Gb SSD. Such virtual machines I often bought from Aruba Cloud and PQ Hosting for 1 euro. Now I also use these free machines.
Also, my docker-compose-php project got 20 stars on GitHub.

UPD Feb 2025: Grammar and style improvements were made with help from Claude.ai. The content remains unchanged, but the English has been polished for better readability.
