TIL most baby carrots are actually baby-cut regular carrots

Apparently Scifaiku is a thing!

Took me an hour to solve the Miracle Sudoku. The Cracking The Cryptic's web interface is really nice, with both number and color tagging, making the process much easier.

Re: 2020-06-10 Radicale for Calendar and Contacts

I've been using Radicale instead of iCould on my iDevices as well - I can confirm that the collection URL setup worked for both contacts and calendars.

Creating repeating events on Radicale calendar is one of the things that I have varying degrees of success depending on the client I use: it works fine on iOS, but rather finicky in evolution seemingly due to part of CalDav spec being unimplemented.

TIL everytime a Blu-ray drive reads a disc, it updates its Media Key Block (MKB) if it sees a newer version stored on the disc, and that's how my Ultraman Blu-ray essentially bricked my drive (until MKB v70's processing keys and host key/certificate becomes publicly availabe). See how unwanted and forced updates are harmful? I really hope not all media formats are designed with DRM in mind primarily, but it seems that CDs are more the exception than the norm.

I ended up using MakeMKV, which allows media players like VLC to offload decryption to it via the included libmmbd, and it worked like a charm! VLC does support playback from all regions, but I needed to first switch to the appropriate one using Tools -> Preferences -> Show settings: All -> Input / Codecs -> Access modules -> Blu-ray -> Region code (there is built-in search for settings, fortunately).

Can't wait when Nintendo decides to rename the Master Sword.
