Apple Watch OS7 stopped showing the date

· Apple, Errors, Software

I've been running the Apple WatchOS 7 beta for a while now, and when updating, my watch face lost the "date": it was no longer showing the date and day of the week (i.e. Fri).

Quite annoying -- but it's a beta after all. I shouldn't complain. I did what every good beta tester would do: I filed a bug (it's still unanswered from what I can see).

iPad Pro USB-C Ethernet

· Apple, Networking

I’ve had an iPad Pro with the new Magic Keyboard and one of the things I've been wondering... Say I am stuck in a datacenter and I need to ssh through wired networking to a server -- sure I'll definitely rather use my Mac laptop, but just in case... But would it actually work?

The answer is... Yes -- but...

Box — Docker shell server

· Apple, Linux, Networking, Software, Virtualisation

A couple of months ago I had the great idea to set up a shell server in Docker. Simply because my docker skillz were quite rusty and a shell server was something I actually genuinely needed.

Shell servers... so 2005. I remember in the good old IRC days people asking for (free) shell servers to run their eggdrop and stuff. OMG am I getting old? Anyhow...

My very first Apple product

· Apple

Going through old stuff in the cellar, I found the packaging of my very first Apple product, an iPod (2nd gen) 40Gb. Bought it at the Fnac (Brussels) during Christmas period a good 11ish years ago.

Alas, its battery died after 3-4 years (lasting only about 10-20 minutes)… :(

I still have that iPod, but it hasn’t been used. I’ve tried using it as a portable external disk, but that didn’t really work.

Courier IMAP and auto deleting trash after 7 days

· Apple, Errors, Linux, Networking, Software

E-mails that had been deleted for over 7 days were automatically removed from the IMAP server. E-mail date was ignored (ie the mail could have been from 2010; the actual time in “Trash” counted). This didn’t happen to other folders (Sent, Archive, Spam). This recently happened and hadn’t happened before.

I had to restore my trash folder from backups every 7 days (yay for rdiff-backup).

It took me a while to figure it out… The problem first appeared in October, right after several big changes:
