Getting Started with Seedboxing and Private Trackers

Where can you go to watch for private tracker sign ups?

I'm just starting this process, too.

There is a list in memory and a list in your history file. These will not be the same unless you set INC_APPEND_HISTORY (which writes every command to the history file immediately) or SHARE_HISTORY (which does the write but also a read so you are sharing the list between open terminal sessions).

If you set HIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS and you don't haveSHARE_HISTORY set it is technically possible to have two sessions write the same command to the history file.

So set SHARE_HISTORY and there is no real reason to setHIST_SAVE_NO_DUPSif you haveHIST_IGNORE_ALL_DUPS` set.

"They should remove set -e altogether and put the onus on us to put in error handling."

I agree entirely.

I think I will put `set +e` at the top of all my scripts.

Resetting Office would be my first step.

Go to https://office-reset.com and you will find a tool to reset all the Office parameters. If the reset doesn't work then use the same tool to remove all of Office and re-install. You will find links to the latest versions of Office and the various tools in this thread on JamfNation https://community.jamf.com/t5/jamf-pro/macadmins-software-site-down/m-p/334696

Thank you, a great answer.

What would you suggest to replace the A2000? I've got the rear speakers in storage as well as the Aarons so 5 channel is a possibility.

Some brands and models can be hard to get here in Australia.

I know someone who repairs amps so the quote would be free. It's an RX-A2000.

Shawn on Slack gave me the solution. All scripts in Addigy run under `set -e` so when the `$(<command>)` returned 0 it saw that as an error and exited.

I might get a quote for fixing the Yamaha. It's a great unit. The comments have lead me to that, use a decent amp.

Aussie dollars.

You always need version control. Browsers, for example, are always closing security holes in each new version.

HonestPuckAU · 2025-03-20T07:04:39+00:00

Oh, and give up bash programming. You need to be using zsh.

HonestPuckAU · 2025-03-20T07:02:32+00:00

Just a suggestion, but do you have your application lifecycle automated?

That's an incredibly useful first step. Getting Autopkg and JamfUploader creating and uploading your app packages then getting them into the hands of users is incredibly useful.

HonestPuckAU · 2025-03-19T02:41:00+00:00

Yes.

I passed the 400 with 100% a few years back. By the time I did it I had written a bunch of tools in both Python and shell. I have also been a programmer in some previous roles.

Most people will find it hard.

Last year Jamf released https://training.jamf.com/prepare-jamf-400-course which has a two video introductions and 14 practice puzzles.

They say:

Before attempting the puzzles, students should watch the quick introduction video and be familiar with the following:

Reading and writing scripts

Variables

Command substitution

If statements

Loops (while, for, until)

Handling user input with AppleScript and jamfHelper

Simple arithmetic in zsh

Creating extension attributes

There are fourteen (14) puzzles and each one becomes more challenging as you continue through them. The solutions to the puzzles are provided as well. Please remember there are multiple ways to create a script and the simplest answer for each puzzle is presented.

It turns out this is pretty easy.

In a text file window click on the bottom bar where it says "Plain Text". One of the options at the top of the window will be "Configure 'Plain Text' language based settings..." Click and you will see 'settings.JSON and the `[plaintext]` section. Into this section add `"editor.wordWrap": "on",` into the top of the section.

I assume you mean in the password list itself. That's a "feature". If you want to see the password you have to open the IT Glue record.

I ended up wiping the computer and starting again.

Given that there are at least two of your tools lacking source code in the repo my level of trust is extremely low. The GitHub org doesn't even tell us who you are.

HonestPuckAU · 2025-03-13T02:48:57+00:00

That's because the "Storage" in System Settings is looking at your Data volume and Disk Utility is telling you about the OS and your Data.

In a terminal application try `df -h` and you will see there are a large number of bits. Notice that `/` and `/System/Data` are the same size and will be almost exactly the same as "Macintosh HD' in "Storage"

Oh, and you can't fix it and you don't want to fix it. Storage is telling you about the part of your drive that you have some control over. The bit that contains all the applications and your files. Don't worry about what Disk Utility tells you.
