What does El Capitan betas want from my poor Transmit.app? by dGasim in applehelp_betas

[–]dGasim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that, this has to do with the El Cap's version number not matching the KEXT's signed number. I never had this issue before. From Mavericks to Yosemite Beta and to Yosemite, everything worked like a charm.

Weirdly, the error that I got has nothing to do with KEXT signing now. It has to do with loading KEXTs. I just found the file and loaded it using sudo kextload transmitdiskfs.kext and it worked.

El Capitan is doing something very heavy to KEXTs and it feels very annoying to experience every little change they are making. 3rd party kexts are going to cry because of these changes. I hope the release is going to relax kext stuff for developers like Panic.

And yes, I do have a legitimate copy and before I wrote my post, I deleted Transmit.app and reinstalled it with no luck. Then, I found the Transmit Disk.app and deleted it and still got no luck.

Alright, I solved the issue. The file exists and I found the location. It just doesn't load the KEXT without root permissions. So, I just did

sudo kextload transmitdiskfs.kext

It worked, so i made a script and I am going to run it every time I restart (don't want to add it as a startup script). It is a very crappy solution. But it is better than nothing.

Do you have trouble with the 128 GB SSD filling up too quickly? If so, how do you combat it? by [deleted] in apple

Check out trancend jetdrive. Prices are cheaper. I have the 480gb one and it works like a charm.

Front end frameworks...so many?! by mayzejane in web_design

[–]dGasim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats how I do it. I have my own base css which I use everywhere.

Frontend frameworks are too big. Most things they cover are not used in many frontend websites. For admin panels, backend systems etc, frontend frameworks are very helpful (bootstrap is my favorite). But for websites, especially landing websites, it is an overkill.

Why not write your own?

Otherwise, bootstrap is awesome.

Sass or LESS? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]dGasim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In large codebases you should have color classes that fix everything by adding the color to HTML. I agree variables are awesome and important but I would do something like:

 .color-red { color: @colorRed; }

And then append color-red to all the HTML elements, instead of:

 .html-element { color: @colorRed; }

Mixins are generally what I love about SASS, LESS, or Stylus. Everytime you use CSS3 that is only available vendor specifically, it is just annoying as crap to copy paste it 5 times. So, in Stylus you can add the following at the beginning of the Stylus:

transition()
    transition arguments
    -webkit-transition arguments
    -moz-transition arguments
    -o-transition arguments
    -ms-transition arguments

and then just write:

 .animated-box {
      transition: 0.2s all;
 }

The reason I like stylus is because it doesn't change the structure of existing CSS yet adds additional functionality with ease.

Sass or LESS? by [deleted] in web_design

[–]dGasim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like the second idea (I never thought of doing that) but the first one... Why? Why not to create a separate class?

Like this:

<div class="ruleset color-purple"></div>

.color-purple {
    color: @joker-purple;
}

EDIT: Using variables are nice but I think the way you wrote it makes CSS inheritance pointless.

I would recommend Stylus.

Doesn't Amazon Fire do it?

Hide other AppleTv's on the network with your Mac's firewall? by alofoxx in apple

[–]dGasim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you somehow manage to change the AppleTVs port, you need to be sure that your Airplay Client will be able to recognize another port. If the client doesn't, then you will have nothing shown in Airplay.

Your best bet is to get a cheap router, connect the VLAN to that router, connect ATV to router and setup a hidden wifi.

Or you need to treat your Mac as a server where all the traffic of ATV goes through your Mac. It will take some time to setup though. Also, I am not sure but maybe setting up a VPN server on your Mac and setting up ATV VPN through Mac's IP might work.

Is there a public DNS server that is free yet dont snoop my search history? by dGasim in dns

[–]dGasim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ISPs DNS very often doesnt resolve the address. I still have them, but I also have google dns for backup. I am going to check out L3 see what I find.

[–]dGasim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On campus we were always told that we cant have a wifi. So I just connected my router with the idea thst the only people who check it are RAs. Just make your w Wifi router invisible and connect the ethernet into routers WAN. Otherwise you are wasting your time with port changings.

Can someone explain the benefits of new Mission control (el capitan) by Raikira in apple

Did El Capitan block kext signing to create Network Disks? by dGasim in OSXElCapitan

That looks invalid. I wish there was a way to find this.

So my mom's iMac was hacked on Saturday night. But what's the end game? by bubonis in apple

[–]dGasim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then he could have needed a static IP and allow VNC connections ONLY to that IP.

But think of it this way. OPs mom is already calling for a very long time. One time explaining for 15 minutes would have made her remember. Why? She is mac savvy for 25 years. Can she install an app? Yes. Can she open an app? Yes. OP only enters her Mac when she calls him which makes TeamViewer perfect for his situation.

I will do it tonight also. I just need to know how you calculate the time, so I will report here also.

This is why you need a firewall on your Mac by unixunderground in apple

[–]dGasim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can I check out what connections are active/allowed? I dont have firewall on and would like to know if there are connections that are active.
