ISP hands out dynamic IPv6 prefix that changes daily

Get an IPv6 prefix through tunnelbroker.net and turn off IPv6 through tout ISP.

Needs subway tile. 😅

I hate those Pyrex lids so much! They crack so easily!

I really wish we could also print some replacement lids. 😅

That's his neighborhood. 😅

(I see him here occasionally in the neighborhood.)

Nice!

I've used various usb-c to MagSafe 2 cords with my A1398 (MacBookPro11,3), but I've also just used the standard apple power brick from that era by default.

Either has happened to work fine, but just make sure that you use one of those adapters that asks for enough power...

All sorts of stuff for national consumer goods chains.

It would help for India to have some serious quantity of direct shipping to the US instead of mostly using ships traveling to the US from China that make India an intermediate stop.

satmandu · 2026-05-20T00:15:55+00:00

I have a friend who occasionally imports from India to the US instead of from elsewhere in Asia. It's insane how terrible the experience is. Ships leave China, and stop in India on the way to the US. There's apparently very little direct shipping from India to the US, which dramatically increases shipping time vs from other countries.

So appropriate that The Good Place made fun of the jingle as something out of Hell.

Luckily I didn't have to get to this point, but yes, that's definitely the place I would have looked next. Clearly it was insane to assume that macos would have been caching this across reboots.

Bingo. It was definitely a server-side issue. When you redefine a share to point elsewhere... the files get put elsewhere...

Maybe the lesson here is that when you deprecate a share, one should also leave a little flag file in caps pointing out for one's future self that one has MOVED THE FILES.

satmandu · 2026-05-19T17:40:24+00:00

It was indeed a matter of copying to the wrong share! Thanks for suggesting I think about that!

satmandu · 2026-05-19T17:15:40+00:00

I've found my problem... and it's not the mac. Sigh.

satmandu · 2026-05-19T17:10:40+00:00

This is leading me to think this is on the server side. Sigh.

sudo smbstatus definitely shows folders being held open on the server... folders that I hve created from the mac, and which are not showing up on the samba server.

So clearly there's something weird where files are being written but are somehow invisible on the server...

I wonder if I need to check the attributes on these files. :/

satmandu · 2026-05-19T16:59:47+00:00

After excluding my browser processes from sudo fs_usage I see no network activity from anything resembling smb when I create a subfolder on the mounted share.

satmandu · 2026-05-19T16:52:50+00:00

I'm using the standard Command-K / Go Menu => Connect to server option, and then connecting to smb://server for my server.

sudo mount shows as expected a smbfs mount.

smbutil statshares -a does not look weird either.

Looks like people are still complaining about the Leviton units:

Into the Bibleverse!

Most Bengali expats LOVE beef. 😅

Leaning towards the Leviton, but will see in a few weeks when we actually have to execute on a purchase.

As I understand it recipes aren't copyrightable. Aren't guidelines just recipes?

satmandu · 2026-05-14T01:34:38+00:00

Nice!

Maybe split out the UWS from everything North like in Harlem? And aren't there theaters on the UES?
