Publishing Python packages to PyPI
- 25 April 2026
After many years of shipping my code via git, finally I dedicated some time to learn Python packaging.
You can publish to the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository using couple of steps.
Before you start, you may want to check if your preffered project name avaliable. If someone already publish anything with that name in PyPI, you’ll need to find an alternative.
Self-hosting movies

I started hosting video streaming over a year ago. I’m using Jellyfin media server.
It’s straightforward to install it using yunohost.
One of the big advantages of using yunohost is simiplified user management across apps/services: you create user accounts in yunohost once and those accounts are used by apps supporting LDAP.
Self-hosting music
- 11 April 2026
Recently I decided to ditch music streaming. A few years back a migrated from Spotify to Tidal. I was mostly motivated by superior quality of the latter, ethical concerns regarding the former (ie paying 200M to Joe Rogan) and realising how little music streaming giants pay the artists.
I was happy with Tidal most of the time. It allowed me to discover plenty of interesting artists. But over last 4 years, I felt more and more like music consumer. And while Tidal shares more of its profit with the artists than Spotify, realising how little the musicians make from my streaming made me feel uncomfortable.
So I decided to ditch commercial music streaming by:
Peru

I have plenty of fun writting about our adventures in Vietnam. So I decided to write up our experiences from Peru.
We visited Peru in the summer of 2023 (south) and in the winter of 2021-2 (north) .
It will take a few weeks to complete each of them…
Vietnam
- 24 January 2026
We spent nearly 4 weeks travelling in Vietnam and I wanted to share our experience and some tips you may find usefull.
It was our first time in Asia and it was wonderful. Locals are extremely kind and friendly, nature is amazing and the food is delicious and very diverse.
Personally it was the best trip of my life and I’m looking forward to return to South-East Asia. Hopefully, next winter!

I always wanted to share my travel experiences. It’s not that I’m super active or experience traveller, but probably like many other people, I love travelling and over the years I learnt couple of things that may be usefull for others. Also, if any of my writting motivates you to go somewhere, it’s already worth it. Beside, I’m finding reflecting and writing about my past trip pure fun!
Lately, we went for nearly 4 weeks to Vietnam. I was rather afraid of this trip and wasn’t really thinking about it until the very last moment. I guess that was my way of coping with the anxiety of not having control. Yes, I’m a control freak. I love routine. I love to know what’s going to happen next. But at the same time, I know the real beauty and fun in life comes unexpectedly.
Travelling forces me to accept that you don’t have control in life. You can’t plan your life. You can’t avoid surprises. You need to accept unexpected. And to be here. And now.
