A Lovely 10Centuries Blog

@matigo surprisingly, it seems support is arriving with big sur https://eclecticlight.co/2020/06/29/apfs-changes-in-big-sur-how-time-machine-backs-up-to-apfs-and-more/ though oddly (i think - haven’t spent much time with recent filesystems) it seems not to be using snapshots as part of the remote tm backup?

and local backups switched to snapshots in high sierra https://derflounder.wordpress.com/2019/05/08/creating-managing-and-using-apple-file-system-snapshots-for-startup-drive-backups/

(I had the suspicion I should validate my snark had not expired.)

@matigo Argh. Can’t you do a gold master benchmark test and fail automatically on perf regressions? (Weirdly this is one thing Xcode’s test system does support.)

@joeo10 pihole is pretty great. Sometimes causes me problems researching stuff like gdpr and analytics when adco blogs also wind up blocked. 😂

@streakmachine Mark as spam and hope it screws their ability to deliver to anything but the Spam folder across the net.

@coopey I just started using it now that it’s behind the same SSO as Jira and Confluence, and I find I need to use those anyway. I’m still not sure I “get it”, though. It just seems so-so to me.

@matigo 👍🏽 What are you aiming for vs the current system?
