Git: Ignore permission changes
In this guide I’ll show you, how to prevent permission changes within a Git repository to be recognized as a file change.

Linux on the 13-inch MacBook Pro Retina
So it’s already been a month ago when I got my new 13-inch MacBook Pro w/ Retina Display. So everyone who knows me could already promise what would happen next: I’d install Linux on it. For this one I once again chose to use my favorite Linux distribution Fedora, which is currently available in version 20. Meanwhile I tried to install Ubuntu but this lead to problems with ACPI, the disk controller and last but not least the hi-res display featuring a pixel density from 227 ppi.
There are some things to have an eye on during the installation process but generally most things are working now so that the system is more or less ready for production usage.

To cut a long story short, the port isn’t broken. I found the solution somewhere
on the internet but don’t know exactly where by now, so thanks to the original
author on this way.
Resolve AppleTV and iTunes Home Sharing visibility issues

Since I’m using my AppleTV (2nd generation), I’m permanently experiencing problems while transmitting data between my Mac running iTunes Home Sharing and the AppleTV itself. Most of the time the Home Sharing resources are simply not visible in the AppleTV’s’ user interface. According to various Apple support items it seems I’m not the only one experiencing those problems, so here’s my solution…
