iamlino.net Is Moving: This Little Flat Was Already Getting Too Small

Posted on October 7, 2026  •  6 minutes  • 1256 words

There is a line that always shows up right before a move: “There’s no room left for us here.” Someone usually says it while trying to squeeze in a box of cables they can’t identify, three hard drives “just in case,” and a plant that has survived for years out of pure spite.

In my case, the message came from four cats. Not necessarily in words, since verbal communication isn’t their strong suit, except when the food bowl is empty, but the message was clear: they needed more room for important cat shit to do.

And they were right.

The culprits: they make me happy and give me work in equal measure.

This is the last post I’ll publish on iamlino.net. The blog, as you know it, is moving to pressanykey.tech .

This isn’t a sad goodbye or one of those melodramas like “we’re closing a chapter and embarking on a new journey toward digital synergy.” Don’t worry, nobody is going to pull out a guitar, recite a manifesto on LinkedIn, or promise that everything will now be “disruptive.”

It’s just a move. With boxes, dust, a cable that will never find its place again, and the nagging suspicion that the important charger is still in a backpack from 2017.

The little flat got too small

iamlino.net started as a personal site where I’d post all sorts of things: technical articles, experiments, reflections, the occasional tech war story and, every now and then, irrefutable proof that someone had decided to deploy something critical on a Friday at 6:30 PM.

For quite a while, it worked really well for that. It was a cozy, personal space, flexible enough to share what I was learning, building and breaking, with a reasonable mix of curiosity and stubbornness.

But things grow. Sometimes by design. Other times because you start with an article about Docker and, without noticing, you end up with ideas for videos, podcasts, projects, AI experiments, courses, demos, livestreams and some format that doesn’t even have a name or a registered domain yet. Just your typical grown-up life, apparently.

The problem is that iamlino.net started to look like that bachelor pad that, on paper, has plenty of space. Then you bring in a big table, two monitors, a NAS, microphones, lights, tripods, a pile of audio gadgets, a collection of cables that looks like an art installation, and four cats with territorial ambitions.

And suddenly you realize the hallway isn’t a hallway anymore: it’s a logistics warehouse with whiskers.

It wasn’t that iamlino.net was broken. Quite the opposite. It had simply gotten too small for everything I want to build.

Welcome to pressanykey.tech

The new home will be pressanykey.tech.

The name is a small tribute to that wonderful era when a computer asked you to “press any key” and people spent ten minutes looking for the key labeled ANY. A more innocent time, more beige and probably a lot less secure, but with a charm that AI assistants can’t replicate no matter how much you crank up the temperature to 0.7.

pressanykey.tech will keep plenty of technical content, of course. Software architecture, development, cloud, data, artificial intelligence, infrastructure, automation, good practices, bad practices, and all those things people call “technical debt” when they’d rather not admit they’ve been ignoring the same problem for six years.

But there will be more.

The plan is to turn it into a bigger space, better prepared for different formats and, above all, more in line with what I feel like doing now. Not just articles: also video content, projects, experiments, practical resources and a few ideas still in the back-of-a-napkin stage, fueled by coffee, where you think “this might not be as good an idea as it seems.”

Which, in my experience, is exactly how the best ones start.

YouTube is back, because I didn’t have enough things to do

I’m also reopening the YouTube channel.

Yes. I’ve decided to take on recording, editing, lighting, audio, thumbnails, scripts, cameras, setups that fail five minutes before you hit record, and the noble art of discovering the microphone was off after a flawless forty-minute take.

A decision made with total calm and zero irrational impulses. Well, maybe a few. But hey: if you’re going to do something, at least do it in a way that lets you complain afterward about buying yet another tripod and several 1000 W lights.

The idea is to bring some of what happens here to video too: technology explained without holding anything back, tutorials you can actually run, stories of projects that went well, stories of projects that went like a Java upgrade at a company on a tight budget, and, in general, useful content for people who work or want to work building things with computers.

Or at least trying not to crash too often, which is already a fairly respectable professional victory.

And there’s more, but it’s not time to talk about it yet

Beyond the articles and the return to YouTube, there are other things on the way.

I won’t say much more yet, because I like keeping a little mystery, and because announcing something before it’s properly built is a tech-industry tradition I try to practice in moderation. I’ll share news when it’s ready.

But yes: there are new ideas, different formats and projects I hope are worth the wait.

Wink, wink.

I can’t be more explicit without one of my cats reviewing the editorial calendar and asking for a follow-up meeting. And honestly, I refuse to normalize a creature that sleeps seventeen hours a day questioning my productivity.

What matters doesn’t get lost

If you’ve saved iamlino.net links, you don’t have to do anything.

Although the website is closing soon, the redirects will go live within a few days, and everything on iamlino.net will be redirected to its equivalent on pressanykey.tech. The goal is that your bookmarks, shared links, documentation references and tabs open since 2021 don’t end up in a sad 404 error.

Because there’s already enough suffering in the world without a link to an article about Kubernetes sending you to an empty page with a sad face.

That said: if you have iamlino.net bookmarked, now might be a good time to update it. Not out of urgency, but because at some point even the most patient redirect will have to start packing boxes.

Thanks for being here

What mattered most about iamlino.net was never the domain, the design, the CMS or the hours spent deciding whether a shade of gray was too gray.

What mattered most was that you were there, on your end.

If you’ve read an article, shared a post, pointed out a mistake, tried an example, argued with an opinion, or just came back now and then to see which tech disaster was up for discussion, thank you. Really.

Writing on the internet has something strange about it: you publish something from your desk, usually surrounded by gadgets and with a cat walking across the keyboard at the worst possible moment, and suddenly someone on the other side has read it, found it useful, or laughed. It still feels pretty mind-blowing, and deeply satisfying when you find out.

iamlino.net has been a wonderful home. Now it’s time to move to one with more rooms, more space to experiment and, apparently, more square footage of feline territory.

See you at pressanykey.tech .

And if you walk in and see an unopened box in the middle of the hallway, don’t worry. It means the move is going according to plan.
