Genuinely starting to dislike using my MacBook. I often switch back and forth between a Macbook Pro 16" and a ThinkPad T580, and apart from the screen quality and better audio on the MBP, almost everything else about it is worse.
They keyboard is just.. terrible. It's kind of surprising millions of professional computer boopers are still sticking with these things.
Tech rabbit hole time again this week…
Since last November, I've been using my NUC Ubuntu server for Time Machine backups to an external drive via Samba.
I used the instructions here https://sarah-robin.com/blog/ultimate-guide-samba-time-machine-backups, and they worked well…until I updated my M4 MBA to Golden Gate, and it wouldn't backup.
Apparently the default Samba package for 24.04 LTS is v4.19, and GG requires later Samba (≥ 4.22.7, I believe) to properly advertise the required TM attributes.
I tried compiling 4.25, I tried Linux Schools' samba-latest package (4.24) and I just didn't get anywhere useful (sometimes nowhere at all with an inability to start or even install), so I took the plunge and upgraded from 24.04 LTS to 26.04 LTS, which has samba v4.23.6 as its default package…and it still didn't work.
Tried Linux Schools' package again, but struggled to get that installed (again).
Slept on it, saw another error message this morning when I woke up my MBA…and then it just started to backup. Huzzah!
But…AFP Time Machine via Netatalk is now broken on my macOS 15.8 2014 iMac as I think one of the required shared objects has changed names (maybe?), so none of the Netatalk daemons will start up.
So now that Samba is working again, time to compile a later Netatalk and see what happens…although I may just switch the iMac to SMB backups. (It might even end up on Tahoe with OpenCore Legacy Patcher having release candidates released just this week with support for macOS 26, forcing a switch to SMB.)
Even if I switch to SMB, I'll still update Netatalk on the NUC at some point for my #GlobalTalk shenanigans.
I've also successfully used James Chang's TimeCapsuleSMB project (https://github.com/jamesyc/TimeCapsuleSMB) to add SMB to an old (flat) Time Capsule and a newer tower AirPort Extreme for SMB Time Machine backups to external drives attached to them.
Both solutions also works over Tailscale, which is useful as I no longer live where the NUC is (I did change to daily instead of hourly backups due to network speeds).
So, not so simple setups, but simple backups moving forwards, and on- and offsite, too!
And just a couple of annoying changes in Time Machine I've noticed semi-recently – you can't delete all backups of individual items any more, and you can't navigate TM in Mail mailboxes to recover e-mails any longer. Not sure which other app-based TM navigation has been removed over the years.
The rabbit runs faster than the fox, because the rabbit is running for his life, while the fox is only running for his dinner.

I am going to share a bit about a rabbit hole I went down recently.
I was curious what the deal was with GNU nano. Why is it always there? Why does it feel so weird? Who could possibly care about it given its bindings don’t feel native on GNU like #Emacs nor does it rely on the ubiquity (and supposed compositional grammar) of vi?
So here is the thing, there was once an email client called Pine. (Kids, ask your parents.) And Pine had a beloved email composition system called Pico (Pine composer), which was also available as its own editor. And its philosophy was geared for beginners. Think more like Notepad or TextEdit as opposed to something made for programming and the like.
In a twist of fate, Pico is actually an adaptation of MicroEMACS. So while it has some Emacs in its DNA, its user surface is quite different (again, aimed at beginners). And because the licensing of Pico restricted redistribution of modified binaries, it was first rewritten as TIP (“TIP Isn’t Pico”) which was later renamed to nano before it became a part of the GNU project.
And because it’s considered to be an editor for beginners, it is the standard default in many places.
As an addendum, and through this lens, GNU Emacs is at least two things: It’s the user-facing surface of the default keybindings (C-a, C-e and so on, the surface of GNU) and it’s the underlying extensible Lisp system. While many of you took to Emacs for that extensibility, I adopted it as a teen for the surface. And for 20+ years I used it just as you might use another variant of MicroEMACS, called mg (originally MicroGNUEmacs). To this day, to me, Emacs is the surface, the one set of keybinds that forms the GNU command surface across the shell and Emacs and Readline apps.
It’s not just a set of keybinds. It’s how I learnt to use a computer.
Anyone using MeshCore? I’m jumping down that rabbit hole right now. I’ll write up my findings. Reach out if you have any advice!
"We better not risk another frontal assault, that rabbit's dynamite!!"
been absorbing different styles of #TTRPG adventures while making the Fudge build and it's proving to be a silly rabbit hole into even #ChooseYourOwnAdventure type ones for solo play because i actually enjoy #SoloTTRPG play due to lack of players unwillingness to try things other D&D in my immediate area.
#WritersCoffeeClub Oct 10: Do you have a guiding principle as a writer? What or why not?
It depends upon what I am writing.
In writing fiction I apply the Roger Rabbit Rule: It only works if it is funny.
In writing law I embrace Weasel Prevention Measures: Proposed legislation must be clear concise and reasonable while bearing in mind the punchable kid who always tries to badly reinterpret the rules printed on the inside of the Monopoly box lid.
(See: Todd Blanche.)
In writing answers to civil suits I used The Reasonable Man Approach: The one and only thing a lawyer fears is a reasonable defendant who can’t be intimidated. It also helps quite a bit to be in right and to have a good understanding of motion practice and the law.
In writing patent applications I adhere to The Leonardo da Vinci Method: It is less about the better mousetrap and all about the terms of art.
In writing proposals I am bound by the Request for Proposal: It was organized by the people who will grade it using a grading sheet derived from the RFP. No matter how stupidly the RFP is put together do not under any circumstances deviate from its bad organizing principles.
In writing corporate policies I remain aware that The CEO is Just a Different Kind of Janitor: Corporate policy can’t be enforced if it can’t be understood by both the ignorant git in the corner office and the guy who is mopping his way through graduate school. I based the Internet Use Policy for one of the largest companies in the world on the policy used for elementary school students in Saskatoon, Canada.
In writing WritersCoffeeClub responses I of course Deny the Question: I learned this early on in school for dealing with things like questions of authorial intent for living authors. I spoke with James Michener about whether he intended the women in “Centennial” to be feminists for an American Literature paper. I didn’t directly quote him until the very last paragraph: They evidently appear that way to some readers.

I actually started this years ago and just found it in my old stuff with the book mark still in it.
I was only briefly a Wobbly then joined a solidarity network that sprang out of the IWW. It's very satisfying to get thousands of dollars in owed wages for workers and to get repairs done by landlords for their tenants through direct action.
Church (Hall of Mesonenth)
Reverend Blake prays to the same rotting carcass every night
Nobody but him knows its here
A relic from when dragons controlled this planet, before they birthed Shadowalkers
The body is nothing but bones with pieces of flesh and tendon stuck to it
But the head
The head was massive, draconic, but had the horns of a wasp; a Crotonian
The oldest Morelic records* spoke of a progenitor species of Crotonians, birthing them from their starwombs; a progenitor that was the result of Draconizicans seeking refuge within the bodies of alien insects
But then the question is poised: who created those bugs?
Sometimes Reverend Blake’s mind goes down these rabbit holes whenever he’s in the presence of this body of this Crozethian
Is this dead mother trying to talk to him? To ask him where did she come from?
How could he know?
He is not as ancient and grand as her
Still, he enjoys these rabbit holes
Within them he sees stars, galaxies, and a lively universe full of so many newborns
All emerging from the same womb
Surely this is not the beginning of the universe, but a period when it was at its most lively, yes?
Right now the void itself is still young, still immature, and still pumping out fresh new planets
“do you wish to go home?” he asks
The feeling he receives from her is naught the sadness of missing home
But the feeling of wanting to see how the universe has progressed without her
All it would take is for him to let her in
He feels ghostly tendrils reaching out to him
Blake, on his knees, ever-so diligent in his worship, wants to let her in
But he stands up and comes to his senses
Huffing, his head spinning as he realizes he was nearly posessed
