I need to transition from Linux to Mac as I'm getting a Mac mini for work in a couple of weeks. Is zsh compatible with bash, as in: Do bash scripts generally run on zsh? If the answer is no, I will need to install the latest version of bash (which I believe is doable via Homebrew).

howard's being brilliant again and there's a new release of a great #macOS tool for #logs called #LogUI.

> Although my log browser Ulbow gives much better access, for many it’s still a daunting task. I’ve now switched almost entirely to using my new lightweight log browser, LogUI, and here explain how you can use it. Although it’s currently an early release with limited features, you should find it ideal for getting started.

If you're a #MacOS user and want to keep a duplicate of your data on another disk that you update regularly, I recommend SuperDuper. You can set it up with an automated routine that automatically updates the backup disk when you plug it in. No lauching the app. No quitting it or ejecting the disk, either. It does all that automatically.

I also use Time Machine to back up my entire system. AND I store important data, encrypted, in the cloud.

Photo shows my desktop with a Mac Mini. There's a portable USB hard drive labeled Time Machine which is my computer's full automated backup. There are also two very small SSDs attached via USB-C to the Mac Mini; I use the one on top of the computer to store my photos and data I need to be portable and the identical device labeled Media BU automatically duplicates its twin when I plug it in. If you'd lost as many files in hard disk crashes as I have, you'd believe in redundant backups, too.

:apple_inc: Apple releases Emergency Security Patch for WebKit Zero-Day Vulnerability.

The vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2025-24201 and was found in the WebKit cross-platform browser engine used by Apple's Safari and many other apps.

⚠️Install the Update immediately!!!⚠️
[For your device security, it’s a good practice to install updates within 36 hours of becoming available.]

support.apple.com/en-us/100100

However, the advisory does not mention if Apple's own security team discovered the flaw or if it was reported to it by an external researcher. It also does not mention when the attacks began, how long they lasted and who was targeted. The update is available for the following devices and operating system versions: • iOS 18.3.2 and iPadOS 18.3.2 - iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 13-inch, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 3rd generation and later, iPad Pro 11-inch 1st generation and later, iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 7th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later • macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 - Macs running macOS Sequoia • Safari 18.3.1 - Macs running macOS Ventura and macOS Sonoma • visionOS 2.3.2 - Apple Vision Pro With the latest development, Apple has addressed a total of three actively exploited zero-days in its software since the start of the year, the other two being CVE-2025-24085 & CVE-2025-24200. ⚠️Installing security updates as soon as possible is highly recommended to block potentially ongoing attack attempts.⚠️

Hide your Desktop icons manually, or automatically when specific apps are running or come to the foreground. Perfect for clean streams, screen sharing, and distraction-free work.

Now available for purchase on my website, and soon on the Mac App Store, too!

Hey Mac folks, have you ever used the sweet little app called "Grand Perspective”?

It's been in my toolkit of free and extremely useful tools for years.

It shows the files on a harddrive represented by large blocks... you can hover over them and see what they are.

The two biggest here are my iMovie Library (no “big” surprise) and iPhoto Library.

But there are also some I forgot about... like the Windows 11 partition (orange double block in the middle), or how big Civilization 6 is, (yellow on the right edge)

Love this app!!

Give me 55s of your time, and I'll explain my new app BarCuts to you!

youtube.com/watch?v=iQ1Wv5kN1S

#BarCuts is a #macOS menu bar app that displays #Shortcuts workflows. It allows you to "tag" workflows to an app. When that app is active and in front, BarCuts will show its tagged workflows in a menu. It's pretty nice!

I can't get over how good this looks...

This beautiful 3D printed M4 Mac Mini case uses a 9.7" iPad panel for its display. It features the signatures of the original Mac Team embossed on the bottom. The designer, @jerrod also has a version that works as a display stand for the @trmnl e-ink smart display.
