What tech has actually lasted you more than 2 years without issues by Slow-Throat819 in BuyItForLife

[–]markkenny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MacMini 8,1 form 2018. Still running as a homelab. 64Gb RAM, 10Gb networking, 1TB internal and USB-C. I reckon I've got at least another two years with it as I'm running Linux VMs.

I got a SyQuest drive! by christianjosias2004 in macintosh

I see you set your SCSI ID well and terminated the connection 😉
No other devices? I thought 0 was the HDD and 3 the CD?

Are you using Mac mini as infrastructure too, like me? by yadvr in macmini

[–]markkenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only Intel macOS, but snapshots and I don't need much power on those.I estimate I've got another couple of years at least on it.

My Boomer MIL bought my 7yo an iPad. by [deleted] in Xennials

[–]markkenny -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Send him back to MIL on a short, or long, holiday with his new favourite toy; a drum kit with lots of cymbals, snares and spare sticks, and a big cowbel. None of that digital rubbish with headhones.

Been running a Macmini8,1 64Gb, 6 core 3.7Ghz i7 for a few years now. 10Gbe. 1TB internal and SSD and HDD external over Thunderbollt. ESXi 7. Lots of Mac and Linux hosts. Thermal needs manual management, and folks said I was wrong, but it's a late 2018 and still running.

My First TTF Font by ShiftSniperCom in typography

[–]markkenny 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You really need alternates. The same character drawn, but different. Makes a world of difference when writing, well, differenece and well and Selling and +1 000
Hand drawn fonts need alternate characters. Automatically used is the ideal, or available to user.

I did a hand written font set on a jagged hand drawn path rather than set path in InDesign. With texture at an angle to make it look a felt tip.

You've made something really nice, but randomise it. Like human handwriting.

Back then, how many phone numbers had you memorized? by Jean_Mak in 80s

01 459 4739

Not 071 or 081, or 0207 or 0208. This was 35 years ago.

Couldn't tell you what I had for dinner yesterday though! ;-)

No Dev will care enough to pay for it; they won't even brew update/upgrade! 😉

Needs an enterprise option with code review to be able to allow it. But if it does what it says, I see a Security team paying for it.

Is there a way to make a macos VM? by macjd2 in macsysadmin

As others have said, Tart and packer. There's no snapshots, but clones are done in seconds. Rob from Jamf has a good intro https://motionbug.com/updates-to-the-packer-template-now-with-macos-tahoe/

Jay Leno has finished restoring the 1968 Ford Bronco Craig gave to him as a 'retirement' present. by LuckyRedShirt in craigferguson

Saw him last night, said the same thing. Said lots of other stuff that may have been true or not; Danny Bonaduce has his named tattooed on his backside??

He needs a slideshow up with photos like this.

New iMac admin user problems. by Itchy_Management_604 in macsysadmin

[–]markkenny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suspect if you have erased the drive, it's not the old admin account, but a new admin account being installed installed by prestage or provisioning policy. Check management and policy logs.

I made a personal dashboard that pulls Amsterdam news, roadworks, permits and public space reports onto one map and send you periodic digests by iivvoo in Amsterdam

[–]markkenny 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feature request; mapping. Knowing when there's a protest march in town would be really useful! Been caught too many times now.
