Multiplexing will boost your SSH connectivity or speed by reusing existing TCP connections to a remote host. Here are commands that you can use to control multiplexing when using OpenSSH server or client on your Linux, macOS, FreeBSD or Unix-like systems. Not sure what SSH multiplexing is? Learn how to set it up and use it to speed up your SSH sessions with our handy guide: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ssh-multiplexing-control-command-to-check-forward-list-cancel-stop-connections/

List of ssh command to control an active connection multiplexing process on Linux or Unix such as: Valid commands are: “check” (check that the master process is running), “forward” (request forwardings without command execution), “cancel” (cancel forwardings), “exit” (request the master to exit), and “stop” (request the master to stop accepting further multiplexing requests).

My transition from #macOS to #FreeBSD continues. I set up most of the shortcuts in #Mate to use CMD instead of CTRL, including those in #Firefox. This time, however, I'm changing the shortcuts on a per-app basis rather than globally, since the latter approach didn't work well.

CMD+C/V, CMD+TAB, CMD+W/Q works well and it's very nice.

I want to tweak Dock's theme or even code, to match macOS better. In macOS it has a margin to the edge.

Notice fonts rendering. I tweak it to match macOS too.

I just released a long blog post about using #dtrace on #macOS to debug a thorny bug in the macOS kernel that was breaking #Lix's socket disconnect detection.

It goes through what the fault was, how I found it, where to find information about DTrace on macOS (which is not really well documented), and how the macOS kernel's networking/events system works at a high level. It also explains how one can take an unfamiliar kernel and quickly find relevant code.

Alle Wochen wieder...

Ich suche (noch immer) einen neuen Job in Festanstellung als #macOS und/oder #iOS Entwickler. Ich kann #Swift, #SwiftUI, #ObjC und den ganzen Klimbim drumherum, hab ca. 30 Jahre Berufserfahrung und arbeite am Liebsten zu 100% #remote von meinem #HomeOffice. Sollte es in oder um #Bregenz (#Österreich) sein, dann auch gerne teilweise onsite.

Wer also jemanden kennt, der jemanden kennt... You get it. 😃

Ich bedanke mich fuers regel Teilen. 🙏🏻

@wolf480pl @cas it's easy...

The reasons one can despise something and the reason one appreciates it can be different.

I.e. I can appreciate #macOS for it's #accessibility right from the #installer but I can #despise it for #Apple not selling it as a commercial #Unix distro for a #subscription

Same with #bash: I can appreciate it for being better than #sh (unix-#shell) , #tcsh or #csh but I despise it for not having modernized like #fish.

• And with fish I appreciate it but I despise it's not the default #shell for any #Linux distro I can use in #production.

It's called having "mixed feelings" or rather #NuancedOpinion.

• Kinda like how every #skiddie and #TechIlliterate can use #Windows but that Windows is shit and the only reason they can is because they got groomed into being #consoomers that accept #enshittification as a fact of life.

would you give LLM (AI) to run commands on your macOS, Linux, FreeBSD or Unix machine? Fuck no. I survived this long without this crap and I will be fine. Do not want. Go away.

If you ever accidentally end up inside vi or vim or neovim by reading some tutorials online, you can quit it by pressing Escape, colon ( : ), q (q), bang (!) and pressing return. It is simple as that. Modern version of VIM even tells you that on welcome screen. No need to panic.

If you know Deluxe Paint ("DPaint") for the Amiga (and MS-DOS), you know that it's one of the best pixel editors ever.

@PyDPainter is a free, faithful DPaint resurrection, and the latest release includes a macOS beta version…

Strong suspicion I could swap out #macOS for #Linux, do better with #Minecraft and most everything else, and not do much worse at macOS-specific stuff like #GarageBand and Messages under #OSXKVM (https://github.com/kholia/OSX-KVM).

Anyone done this, or something similar?

@siracusa At the very least, if you can *only* have popup buttons that “hug" the title of the selected item, at least lower the compression resistance on the label so it truncates. This is NOT how you build UI. Look how the label will go into its own row if it doesn't fit vertically.

Do any operating systems other than #Linux (#Windows, #macOS, #FreeBSD, #OpenBSD, etc) have an API for non-blocking file IO?

I know Linux has that in #io_uring, which can do almost any IO operation (even fsync) in the background and tell you when it's done, but is that the only OS with such a feature?

"… would love to switch to another platform but whenever I try KDE or GNOME my experience is always ‘not quite as bad as Windows’, …"

For more than two decades, I was a huge fan of Apple's OS. Yosemite was the killer, I switched to PC-BSD.

Now, preparing to switch from FreeBSD to Linux:

– whilst I do miss the excellent aspects of Mac OS X, the worst aspects are so bad that I'll never switch back

– I can barely tolerate Microsoft's desktop environment, and that's not because I'm anti-Microsoft

– KDE Plasma ticks more boxes than any other DE.

YMMV :-)

rsync replaced with openrsync on macOS Sequoia https://www.undeadly.org/cgi?action=article;sid=20250408062403 #openbsd #openrsync #rsync #macos #apple #freesoftware #libresoftware

that is how do it. what about you? sudo -i? sudo -s? su -? gksudo? runuser? pkexec? See https://www.cyberciti.biz/open-source/command-line-hacks/linux-run-command-as-different-user/ for more on those commands.

Linux meme: Winnie the Pooh prefers sudo -i over repeatedly using sudo.

Lesson 1 in #UIUX... your buttons should not be moving targets. Especially if they're toggles.

Look at how if I toggle on "Transactions" and then toggle it off, I am no longer in the bounds of that button. TF?!

I have a feeling this was designed for touch and touch only. It wouldn’t matter there because you lift your finger after tapping…

Interest in LibreOffice, the open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, is on the rise, with weekly downloads of its software package close to 1 million a week as users look to avoid subscription costs. That’s the highest download number since 2023. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows and Unix like systems. https://www.computerworld.com/article/3840480/libreoffice-downloads-on-the-rise-as-users-look-to-avoid-subscription-costs.html

#MacOS geeks in my timeline: I have a bunch of #vintage #MacOS9 and early #MacOSX software to give away, including Adobe Creative Suite, Cinema4D, Logic Platinum, Toast, and Microsoft Office. Does anyone know anyone collecting vintage Macs where these would be in good hands?
