Don't forget to be very physically attractive too.

yep, I supply 2 search domains via DHCP option 119: .lan and .internal

guess I'll be migrating things 100% over to internal...

I filed a bashbug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?68722

Interestingly, running `ifconfig` from a Zsh shell still does show MAC addresses

27.0.1 did not fix it, and I reproduced it on 2 more Macs, one was literally factory reset, just installed a fresh macOS 27, installed Homebrew, installed Bash5, ran ifconfig .... bug reproduced

Yes it works in my system bash too (see above) - seems to be some sort of obscure Bash bug...

It seems to only affect Bash 5.3.20 (Homebrew) - very odd:

    % /bin/bash --version
    GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (arm64-apple-darwin26)
    
    % /opt/homebrew/bin/bash --version
    GNU bash, version 5.3.20(1)-release (aarch64-apple-darwin27.0.0)
    
    % zsh -c '/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep ether'
    ether d0:11:e5:1a:27:7a
    
    % /bin/bash -c '/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep ether'
    ether d0:11:e5:1a:27:7a
    
    % /opt/homebrew/bin/bash -c '/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep ether'
    ether 02:00:00:00:00:00

The peak that never stops peaking, apparently

I was a MacUpdater user and fan, and was sad when they announced it was being sunset. Have tried a few of the other "updater" apps, e.g. Latest, Updatest. Those didn't have nearly as wide coverage as MU and so for the last year or so I've been doing a bit of a dance bouncing between 2-3 different updater apps and some hand-rolled scripts to keep my Macs software current.

When Floodtide appeared, I signed on as a beta tester and tested it for a few weeks- it's now replaced all of those others. It's got a nice UI, and supports a lot of sources: Sparkle appcasts, Homebrew casks, GitHub releases, Electron feeds and its own signed catalog. Pretty customizable, can live in the menubar or work on-demand as a dock-only app (my preferred mode). You can also set up exclusions, choose beta/release channels, set the app to auto-update everything (if you want). Also has a nice automatic backup/rollback feature for safety in case an update goes sideways.

No affiliation- just wanted to put it out there to help support the dev who has been very friendly and responsive.

> better adapt quickly

maybe they can grow larger brains and an extra hand so they can hold 3 calculators at once?

Don't forget about those common areas too! I've seen many cases where hallways, elevators, and stairwells were included in the square footage numbers.

Thanks, and you can go ahead and ban all the regular advertising too while you're at it.

the "old" ChatGPT app is now called "ChatGPT Classic", and new features may be available only in the new app.

Fair, but what about names that are specific enough to give an attacker a clue to a potential attack surface, like "authelia.example.com" - now they know you've likely got an Authelia setup, and can start digging for exploitable CVEs etc. I'm in the process of removing all my individual certs and replacing with a wildcard cert served by Traefik. Is that a bad idea?

I was also a fan of Hex, but development has stalled. I tried FluidVoice (found it buggy) and Handy (had problems with hotkey) before eventually landing on TypeWhisper[0].

It works very well, and has a few more bells and whistles without feeling bloated.

For the last 6 decades or so, a computer was a machine assumed to operate with high levels of precision and deterministic outputs. Such precision enabled spacecraft like Voyager 1 & 2 to travel billions of miles from Earth, staying on course, semi-operational and sending telemetry- 50 years after launch.

Now we have machines that, when asked to produce a paperclip, may instead produce a butter knife, or a banana, or maybe just a "try again later".

These modern "tools" are quite a different animal. They're more akin to roulette wheels that generate massive amounts of heat and CO2.

Nothing compared to the 250% rise in HDD prices over the past year...

Oh man that's nice. When I was in high school slugging along with a Mac LC, I dreamt of having the amazing Quadra 700 with its superior speed and graphics. Crazy that the price was $5,700 ($14K in 2026) and you just picked it out of the trash.

> I'd expect the trillion dollar transnational corporation to do right

you would? has any trillion dollar corporation ever?

This will surely end well

I wish there was built in iSCSI initiator support on macOS. All of the halfway decent third-party ones either broke many OS versions ago (GlobalSAN) or cost a small fortune ($250 for Atto Xtend)

If anyone knows someone at GitHub and can tap them on the shoulder, please ask them to revert this terrible change.

"They" is 1 guy (George Nachman) who has tirelessly maintained this app in his spare time for 15 years. This is an arms race that's simply impossible for solo devs or even small teams to win. It's going to have a real chilling effect. I've seen a few popular open source projects take themselves private recently (eg cal.com) due to this.

Would be great to see a fresh macOS App Store release. The current one (3+ years old) has a few sharp edges.

Thaw is the fork that has been updated and currently still maintained.

I don't have statistics on that, but I can say that Verizon FIOS NG-PON2 service in the US (which is what I have) does not offer native V6, so yes, sadly I am forced to use a tunnel broker in 2026.
