  1. I've been experimenting with VMs on using . Two VMs, both on Apple's hypervisor, one with QEMU, the other with Apple's backend. Both are running Apache with PHP stack, boot with less than 200MB RAM in use, running Debian's cloud kernel.

    The VM with QEMU boots in about 4 seconds, the full Apple stack VM boots in about 2 seconds. A full blown Linux environment with a container-like startup time.

  2. 🤔 Ah yes, because what could be more intuitive than using #Tailscale with an #OrbStack VM on #macOS... 🤷‍♂️ It's like trying to teach your cat to code while wearing a blindfold! 🐱💻 Welcome to the future of simplicity, where #complexity reigns supreme! 🌪️

  7. Eight days for the Bulletin 2.1 Mac app to get through app review (clean review). Just in time for me to submit 2.1.2 and too slow for 2.1.1 to even be submitted. I guess wait another eight days, then repeat? 🤷‍♂️ #AppReview #Apple #MacOS #IndieDev #iOSDev #WWDC26

  8. A New Threat Actor Targeting the Cryptocurrency Industry's Software Development Infrastructure

    JINX-0164, a financially motivated threat actor active since mid-2025, has been conducting sophisticated campaigns against cryptocurrency organizations. The actor employs LinkedIn-based social engineering, posing as recruiters or business partners to deliver custom macOS malware including AUDIOFIX (a Python-based infostealer and RAT) and MINIRAT (a lightweight Go backdoor). Their operations focus on compromising developer endpoints to steal cryptocurrency wallet credentials, cloud secrets, and GitHub tokens. The attackers then pivot to CI/CD infrastructure, injecting malicious code into repositories to enable lateral movement. In April 2026, they executed a supply chain attack by trojanizing the npm package @velora-dex/sdk. The group masks activity using VPN services and demonstrates advanced capabilities including credential harvesting from password managers, browser extensions, and development tools.

  13. My macOS Calendar wasn't syncing with iCloud, and the Calendar app was giving me a little warning icon telling me as much, that there was an issue with my credentials.

    I opened System Settings, clicked on the "Internet Accounts" tab, and PRESTO the account spontaneously starting syncing again.

    I changed nothing, entered no credentials. Somehow, merely summoning the preference pane set things right.

    Computers are fun.

  14. Is #Nix a stable thing on #macOS (#Apple Silicon Macs in particular, if that matters)? I remember hearing that the setup process is pretty disruptive - requiring some manual partitioning or wtv, is that still the case? If it's worth the hassle, since I'm already using #Nix on #Linux, I may want to have it on my #MacBook as well. I'm also curious just how usable are the graphical packages on macOS when installed using Nix, seeing how even on (non-#nixOS) Linux, graphical apps are a lot of the time incompatible, so I end up only really using it for non-graphical packages. I imagine that'd be pretty similar on macOS and u'd still need #Homebrew for most apps.

  19. Warms my heart to see indy houses still about and kicking in these super hectic times. @panic for example has produced so many beautiful apps, and has now announced Transmit 6 beta not to its customers, but to the "friends" as they call them. Honoured to be one! panic.com/transmit/

  20. BBEdit is one of the oldest text editor for the Macintosh. It was initially released back in 1992 for Macintosh System 6. It's still one of the very best ones available. I just upgraded to the latest version BBEdit version 16. 😎
