The third, and final day of the AI Engineer Europe 2026 conference. The format
of the day is similar to the previous day: kick the day off with keynotes, then
breakout sessions and close with keynotes at the end again. Today I spent most
of my time in the AI Architects track.
Day two of the AI Engineering conference.
Yesterday was filled with
longer talks where the speakers could go more in-depth. This day consists of
shorter (usually 20 minute) slots of talks and keynotes.
AI Engineer Europe is “Europe’s first flagship
AI Engineer event”. I was fortunate enough to be one of the engineers that
Schuberg Philis (my employer) sent to this
conference. The first day was workshop day.
January is already almost over, so time for FOSDEM,
the yearly free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and
collaborate
in Brussels. Last year I
focussed on the Go track, this year I selected a mix of security and Python
related talks to attend.
I have been using Proxmox Virtual
Environment
for a few years now, but I only recently started using Proxmox Backup
Server. I
wish I had done that sooner!
Some time ago I started using restic for creating backups of my home directory
of my laptop. Now it has become my main solution for backing up my most valued data.
This is a different kind of post than I normally write here. Most other posts
are about a problem I ran into or a conference I visited. This time is more a
story telling post. I though it would be nice to have a sort of summary of what
kind of work I have been doing for the last decade.
After years of thinking “I should have gone” after the fact, I finally went to
FOSDEM!
Notes from my day at the 12th edition of PyGrunn.
In part 1 of this (mini) series I
described what I did to be able to build an ISO image using Vagrant. Now it’s
time to actually customize it.
