    macOS Restoring Bash and Python 2.7 on Monterey a good idea?

    Many years ago I taught myself some Bash and Python and wrote a couple of scripts which I still use all the time for work. So far this hasn't been a problem as I was still using Sierra on my old Mac. But now I just got a new Mac Studio running Monterey, which seems to have ditched both Bash and...

    ShellHistory a new application that helps you to backup, synchronize and organize your shell history (50% off during launch)

    I am excited to show my new application, ShellHistory. I can say that I started working on it four years ago when I published my little shell script dbhist. That script was convenient. It kept shell history from many macs for the last years (close to 100,000 records). But it was a time for an...

    macOS Bash script instead of rm to prompt with number of files about to delete (a safer rm)

    Background I always review my rm command line carefully before executing, so I thought I'd be fine. The other day while using the command history, I recalled and executed a previous command, thinking it's "ls some files", but didn't notice it's "rm some files". I executed that in a different...

    Hello everyone, I would like to know if there's a way to disconnect external mouse support on the MacOs High Sierra 10.13 for some testing purposes. The test needs to do 10 sleep cycles, leave the computer awake for 30s and sleep it by 60s. When the mouse is connected to the mac, by some...

    Overview: How can I edit the inode number (ls -i /path/to/file) of certain files after file creation on a FAT-32 filesystem?

    Resolved umask type behavior on user connected by network sharing

    My network scanner is configured to drop files into a well defined location on my MacBook and it correctly drops files there. Trouble is the default umask value seems to be 077 which means that when it drops scans then I need to do a sudo'd chmod to give myself (or the wife) permissions to the...
