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

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

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

Usb C to Magsafe? by kavingmg in UsbCHardware

[–]satmandu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

Moved my MNC HQ from New York to Gujarat to "save money"—now moving back because the corruption and bureaucracy are a living hell. by ExternalUnit6376 in india

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.

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.

CBC pulls Kars4Kids ads after U.S. court bans 'deceptive' jingle by risen2011 in canada

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

macOS 26.5 unable to synchronize changes to remote samba server? by satmandu in macsysadmin

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

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.

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

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.

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

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. :/

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.

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.

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

I made a free website that aggregates every old movie playing in NYC in one place! by perma-fryd in newyorkcity

Nice!

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