USB security prompt disappears when multiple MacOS accounts signed in

Still a problem for me, and has been for years, but I may be holding it wrong. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255929514?sortBy=rank

The solution posted in the discussion is not really secure.


For me quitting preview, or maybe it is settings, resolves it.

I’ve always liked Jakub Steiner’s Gnome icon work: https://jimmac.eu/


GNOME generally seem to have struck a nice balance over the years. Icons has a reasonable amount of skeuomorphism without too much hyperdetailed textures, most icons has distinct shapes (not just a bunch of boxes with rounded corners).

I used to rice my linux desktop, but havefound less reason to do so the last ~5 years, and have been happy using the defaults in Fedora. I spend most of my time in a terminal, the browser and a few select GTK utilities apps, like Switcheroo, Curtail, Netsleuth etc.

Maybe it is the somewhat slower, more iterative pace of GNOME, compared to macOS an Windows, that ends up with a more balanced end result?


Huh? GNOME releases new versions twice a year versus macOS' once a year and Windows' once a year.

GNOME just doesn't feel the need to radically change things every few releases because they have no need to seem "new" to get people to buy things.


If github, take a look at gh cli or git credential manager:

I wouldn't say that's better. Now your .config directory contains a github token that can do more than just repo pull/push, and it is trivially exfiltrated. Though similar thing could be said for browser cookies.

I canceled my account recently for the same reason. The two day or same day shipping would never happen even though on the product it was advertised as such.


AWS also mirrors docker official images: https://gallery.ecr.aws/docker

Announcement here (Nov 2021) https://www.docker.com/blog/news-from-aws-reinvent-docker-of...


That's really cool and I didn't realize that! For future readers, key points from the article:

"Note that while pulls from ECR Public do work from outside AWS, they are rate limited if not authenticated with an Amazon account, and you should generally use the Docker Hub addresses if you are pulling from outside AWS. Please see the ECR Public quotas documentation for more about how limits work with ECR Public.

If you are an AWS customer, pulling Docker Official Images from ECR Public offers several advantages. ECR Public is replicated across all AWS regions, so pulls are local to the region you pull from. This helps ensure lower latency for requests and ensures that all your resources are in the same failure zone, which is the recommended architectural pattern."


Working for a company that is both owned by Amazon and use docker hub for quite a while for a lot of Base images for build the number of times that we had build failures or minor outages due to docker hub being down or us being rate limited is well into four digits. Luckily these were generally low impact on a developer could emergency patch in some of these situations so it never really got us. But if someone who's been pushing for us to just use the AWS alternative since we're very heavily on AWS because we're owned by Amazon so it just makes sense, it's always been a little bit frustrating that people just pull directly from the internet as opposed to the AWS data center that they're literally running in. So I'm very happy about these base images on my computer platform at a very very low cost (network) with high availability for me.

As the AWS public docs say it's always better to pull from the data center that you're sitting in. Data center math is always more forgiving if you pull from the data center you're in as opposed to playing from another Data center because the chance that both data centers are having problems is higher than the chance that any one is having problems.


I’m interested to see how project finch works out compared to Docker on a Mac. It’s an open source client for container development.

When I tried Rancher Desktop it didn’t work so well.


Reminds me of Derek Sivers how he keeps all his writing in plain text, always, everywhere. https://sive.rs/plaintext

Being able to time shift video instruction content made all the difference in the world for me. I could rewind and watch something multiple times until it clicked. Helped me significantly with college mathematics.


Thanks for sharing! Love these other options!
