launchd debug logs are always fun to read. Today’s examples: “uncorking exec source” and “internal event: PETRIFIED”
When you write code for hours and finally press “build” and the build passes and you’re like yay I’m awesome and then you test it and nothing works and it turns out you had the wrong target selected all along.
oh wow, I only now noticed that in Sonoma, there’s /etc/pam.d/sudo_local which persists across upgrades!
Might need to tweak those serial parameters a bit. Also homebrew needs to learn to respect the termcap!
Slight moment of panic when I noticed my main banking apps don’t work with the iOS 7 beta. One of them claims it fails to validate the authenticity of the device, the other just said my PIN is wrong. Luckily my banks still support old-style paper-based OTP login so I can still pay my bills.
Woah I just mixed up the /dev path of my SD card and my Time Machine backup drive when dd’ing a Raspberry Pi OS image. Luckily macOS would let me write to a raw /dev/diskN device, probably because it had filesystems mounted.
Me: I better take at least a 128 GB memory card to the new Raspberry Pi, so that I don’t run out of space

This is the single biggest (small) thing I miss from having a Touch Bar. I still instinctively reach for the Touch Bar “man” button on my laptop when I want to open a man page, even when I’m using an external keyboard.
Does anyone know how to modify the man paths so that Terminal recognises it (ie it works when you right-click on a word an select “open man page”)? Someone asked this on Ask Different back in 2019 but there was no response. Editing /etc/manpaths wasn’t enough, obviously.
