I home brew installed most stuff, yeah. I’m lucky in that I don’t need a whole lot of stuff installed. Just a couple of JetBrains IDE’s, a couple of browsers, iTerm2 and a handful of popular CLI utilities.

I did this. Was a ThinkPad Linuxer for years and now I just use an M1 for sysadmin/programming/web/vids. Quite happy to just use Linux on my servers these days. MacOS does the job nicely on laptop. I suppose it depends on how FOSS you want to be.

I recently bought a MacBook Air M1 and I came at it from a classic “ThinkPad with Fedora on it” Linux nerd perspective. I got given a Mac at work a couple of years ago, and I warmed to it. I agree that Macs are great tools for DevOps work. I used to think they were just for posers but I’ve been converted.

Nice. Thanks 👍

Interesting. I’ve been using “.home.arpa” for a while now, since that’s one of the other often used ways.

Just use a $5 USB-C to 3.5mm DAC?

I heard about it when it was mentioned on the Trillbilly podcast, about two years ago. Which is quite an obscure way to hear about a project by Tim and Eric. So, yes, it’s not too well known.

I clicked on the thread to mention this excellent Tim & Eric side project. Anyone who likes silliness and hasn’t seen it yet needs to crank up a torrent.

thank Mr skeltal

This. I’ve experimented by using pex before and one or two other means of executable python wrappers and they suck. Just do as lakeeffect says.
