Time Drift: a relativistic voyage to the black hole at the centre of the galaxy

There’s a scene in Interstellar that has never left my head. The crew lands on a planet orbiting Gargantua, a huge black hole, and stays there a few hours. When they get back up, twenty-three years have passed for the man who stayed on the ship. Then come the messages from Earth: children who grew…

Solar Drift: the solar system travelling through the Milky Way

This evening I wanted to satisfy a curiosity: to see the solar system as it really is, not the way primary school textbooks draw it. No concentric circles with the planets lined up, no Sun sitting still at the centre of the universe. Real orbits, real positions, and a Sun that moves. I opened Claude…

Managing a Linux System with an AI Agent: Today’s Convenience or the Future of Sysadmin?

I’ve been using Arch Linux as my main system for years. KDE Plasma on Wayland, hand-written configurations, manual package management. A system that rewards those who know it well and punishes those who forget where to look. For the past few months I’ve been working alongside Claude Code, an AI agent that runs directly in…

WordPress Multilingual with Claude Code: How I Translated 72 Articles into 5 Languages

I had a WordPress site in Italian and English. I wanted to add Spanish, French and German. Seventy-two articles to translate into three languages, plus navigation pages, categories, shortcodes, redirects, SEO. Looking at the volume of work, the honest answer was: it can’t be done. Not with the time and resources of a personal project…

After trying several solutions, I switched to Traefik as a Docker-integrated reverse proxy and it’s been one of the best infrastructure decisions I’ve made in years. In this article I share my hands-on experience…

⚖️ GPU Balance Pro: Save Money on Your Gaming Build

How many times have you asked yourself: “Is this GPU too powerful for my monitor?” or “Am I wasting money on a graphics card I’ll never use at 100%?” I built GPU Balance Pro, a free web tool that answers these questions visually and immediately, by analysing the balance between GPU, monitor, and game settings…

Tempest: The 3D Web Player That Transforms Music into an Immersive Visual Experience

Imagine being able to see the music you listen to. Not just hear it, but watch it dance in three-dimensional space, pulse with the bass, explode in colour when the chorus hits. Tempest is an online music visualiser that transforms every track into an interactive audiovisual experience, freely accessible directly from your browser. What is…

AST3ROIDX: Recreating Asteroids with Claude Sonnet 4.5

How I developed a complete classic arcade game in less than a working day After the experiment with BOMBRIS, I wanted to test Claude Sonnet 4.5 on a more complex project: a real space shooter with realistic physics, unlockable achievements, and an advanced particle system. The result is AST3ROIDX — a tribute to Atari’s classic…

The answer is BOMBRIS — an explosive…

ZETRIS

Zetris is a classic falling-blocks puzzle game, created as the first experiment to test the coding capabilities of Claude Sonnet 4, Anthropic’s AI. A project born from curiosity to explore how far artificial intelligence can go in creating functional and enjoyable games. The game is completely free, all the code is viewable directly on the…

From Windows to Arch Linux: Chronicles of a Migration

My background in the IT industry has always fuelled a deep interest in open source systems. Despite this, migrating my personal PC from Windows to Linux was a decision I had kept putting off. I ran tests and lab work on external Linux servers — online VMs or home Raspberry Pis. The reasons for not…
