With a heavy heart, I started rewriting my utility scripts from Shell to Python. It’s not like I don’t like Python, because after today’s session, I must admit that I love it. It’s because I’m so into Unix-like scripting and I’d like to keep it that way forever, but… Python gives me so much fun. The syntax is super simple so you can write faster. The language itself is compact, so you don’t have to write a lot of lines to get it done. It’s also easier to read — especially after some time — when you need to make changes.

So for now, for all of my personal stuff, I’ll use Python. But I still love you Shell (see you in os.system()).

I found a strange issue with my iOS devices regarding playing downloaded movies on Apple TV app. Once I downloaded a movie, every time I turned on the airplane mode and tried to play a movie I got the following message: “Connect to Wi-fi to Watch”.

I’ve tried everything, every type of reset, I logged out from iCloud, from Apple TV etc. I even called the Apple Support, but without any luck (it was not their fault, don’t get me wrong)…

After many, many failures of figuring it out… I’ve finally found the problem: device’s language settings. Who would have thought, right?

So, if you run into this issue and you can’t solve it, try to reset your device’s language.

I finally set up the /bookmarks/ page. It’s super simple, not yet linked anywhere but it’s here. Data is fetched on each reload from the open Github repository. Nothing fancy, simple JSON. It’ll grow over time. Enjoy!

I’ve been waiting for Alan Wake 2 so long. And now after 13 years, the dream nightmare came true. I’m somewhere in the middle of the game (over 20h on the record), but I can definitely tell that this is a great experience so far. Visuals are exceptional, even though I play on low / medium mix.

I don’t know how the story ends, but I guess Remedy cooked something special for us.

For the first time my Apple devices are not able to update themselves to the latest iOS. They are too old. Yet, I don’t know if it’s a good or bad sign. This is something new for me, anyway.
