RE: https://mathstodon.xyz/@juandesant/117117758874412294 Reposting if not just to teach folks about `pbpaste` and `pbcopy`

Public Service Announcement: If you need to get just the text part of the macOS clipboard, you can type in the terminal: ```bash $ pbpaste | pbcopy ``` `pbpaste` always select first the text version of the clipboard, so then `pbcopy` gets only that part back in the clipboard. On my Mac, I […]

Last month, I got to speak a little about GitOps (and why MacAdmins should be using GitOps!) at the University of Utah MacAdmins Meeting. The slides, session recording, and links can be found here. Thanks to Richard Glaser for having me! […]

Absolutely no shade to Tim Robbins, but reading Wool has me convinced that Michael Emerson would make a terrifying Bernard in Silo

I have a bit more capacity to host things at my house again so wrote a small binary for proxying mastodon media (so I can switch from using S3 without breaking links to the old media in S3 while it's still there) https://github.com/jc0b/mastodon-media-proxy

I think I had an actual nightmare where we introduced Windows laptops into our environment at work

It’s almost the “stop longboarding” season bc all the standing water from the rain gets kicked up by the wheels onto the deck/my shoes 😰

i am just finding out about `.mode line` in the osquery shell and wow. no more ⌘- for me!

In The Netherlands (or nearby)? Come join us on the canals of Amsterdam next week (13/10), at the next edition of the Benelux Apple Admins meetup! You can register for the meetup here: https://luma.com/qubq21ud Immediately preceding the meetup, we'll also be hosting a @Fleet GitOps workshop […]

Swedish goodbye vs Dutch welcome. Had an absolute blast at #macsysadmin once again. Great to see everyone again!

Next week I’ll have the pleasure of (once again) attending #macsysadmin in Göteborg, for the 20th anniversary of the conference. Last year, I wrote about what it was like to attend MSA for the first time, so figured I would re-share if there were any new first-time attendees. If you’re going […]

only took a hot minute to figure out how to use the OIDC private key with Terraform Cloud, figured it out tho (use Terraform variables as they support multi-line strings, and envvars don't)

At PSU I had the absolutely unhinged idea to redo all of our Mac onboarding in golang (it’s currently dependent on munki-python). It’s been a pretty intense learning curve, but it’s almost done! Managed to get localisations working today, and hopefully will be able to round it out next week and […]

Migrated datboi.network back home - another Hetzner instance I no longer have to pay for 🎉

Discovered the other night that, if testing a Santa sync server on your laptop, you _probably_ should be careful about what test rules you’ve made beforehand 🙃 _this message bought to you by “I can’t open any apps not signed by Apple”_

Just realised that the ABM API is _just_ the thing I need for Munki manifest generation: - manifests generated at least 24 hours before device issuance ✅ - no more worrying about data entry errors in ITAM ✅ This will be v useful

v1.3 of nudge-auto-updater is out! @plantvibes added functionality that lets you specify days you _don't_ want Nudge enforcement deadlines to fall on, and nudge-auto-updater will plan around them. Useful for change windows, weekends, and public holidays. Inspired by macOS 15.2, the two-week […]
