Re-reading my own blog and going through the sparse comments, I noticed that one of my friends’ domains — tsybulko.org — has gone dark. A shame.

About 4-5 years ago I bought this wonderful little apron on AliExpress for gentlemen who prefer to take care of their beard themselves:

Who will take a guess: together with this newly arrived box, what is the total number of MacBooks in a household of two adults?

Having waited for warm weather and even having missed a few (quite a lot of) warm days, the 2020 season is open!

For some reason I thought I started later last year, but nope — I was in the saddle on March 24.

So, the TV problem (and the set-top box audio along with it) was solved at the cost of blood and nerves in a battle against greed successfully. It seemed everything was great, but the infection had already taken deep root in the organism — you step into the kitchen and can’t hear the TV, and lying in the bath under a stream of your favourite podcast would be nice too, and besides, I noticed IKEA also sells wireless remote controls for sound…

After the music in our home started sounding in a whole new way — it became very obvious just how terrible the sound from a flat TV is. Sure, there’s nowhere for good sound to come from in that thing, but at least before there was nothing to compare it to.

Recently my home network (which I might write about in more detail separately someday) has gained a few more residents — three or six, I still haven’t figured it out myself.

Attention, dear readers!

It turned out by accident that for some reason comments weren’t working in this Blogger theme.

By the way, about DevOps.

Today, among the digital residents of our home, yet another (in a long line of) little box has appeared. Actually, thanks to Black Friday (which deserves its own separate post) — several of them showed up, one after another, but this one is by far the most promising and offers the most to play around with.
