A UI glitch has been found on Alvadi 1.6.6 running on iOS 14.2 that prevents the user from inputting a note to either a new or an existing operation. This UI glitch is not present on Alvadi 1.6.5 and backwards. The planned-for-release build, 152, has been removed from TestFlight. Amusingly, this same build has been… Continue reading Alvadi 1.6.6 is still coming!

Rétro : Le démarrage des Macintosh 68k / PPC
Parce que j’aime bien l’histoire de l’informatique en général et celle d’Apple en particulier, il m’arrive de récupérer d’anciens appareils (surtout des Mac) afin de les conserver et de tester des choses avec. Et donc, pourquoi ne pas faire une série d’articles “Rétro” à leur sujet ? J’en avais parlé dans le post sur le… Continue reading Rétro : Le démarrage des Macintosh 68k / PPC

Bye VMware ESXi, Hello Proxmox VE!
As you may -or may not- know, I manage my own server farm. This farm is composed of several virtual machines hosted on a physical server (an HPE ProLiant one). I’ve used ESXi for the past several years, but I’ve decided to move away from it for several reasons. I – The context The physical… Continue reading Bye VMware ESXi, Hello Proxmox VE!
SwiftUI & Xcode 11 beta
Today, a rant against SwiftUI AND Xcode: SwiftUI is neat. Really. I’ve seen talented people on Twitter showing what it’s already possible to achieve with it. I’m using it for upcoming projects, and it actually motivates me to move to Swift from Objective-C But. I know Swift and I’ve written apps in Swift. But to… Continue reading SwiftUI & Xcode 11 beta
Thoughts on Apple Watch’s Leather Loop band
When Apple introduced the original Watch to the world, on September 9th, 2014 (it wasn’t available until April 24th, 2015), along with the iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus and Apple Pay, they made it clear that the device wasn’t only another electronic gizmo that the customer would have to charge every night, but also a… Continue reading Thoughts on Apple Watch’s Leather Loop band
GNU/Linux doesn’t deserve to be popular on desktop computers, and it’s OK
Don’t get me wrong: GNU/Linux is a great operating system, I use it daily along with macOS and Windows, there are marvelous distributions out there, and it is widely used by companies of all sizes for mission-critical tasks because it is known for its general stability and openness. It even runs on supercomputers. But when… Continue reading GNU/Linux doesn’t deserve to be popular on desktop computers, and it’s OK
Thoughts on Xserve
As you may or may not know, I manage servers both at work and at home (among other things). I’m currently running ESXi on a HPE ProLiant server at home, hosting several GNU/Linux VMs. In fact, this website is hosted on The Server(TM) as I call it. As a die-hard Apple fan, I’ve tried Mac… Continue reading Thoughts on Xserve
