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.
My Backblaze backup has entered some kind of “safety freeze”. Apparently, if you use their client-side encryption, this is an unrecoverable state where they ask that you manually (using their web-based file browsing UI) check the difference between the Backblaze backup and your local system. I have 3 million files and 3 TB of data backed up. That would be … interesting.
After that I’m supposed to manually uninstall, reinstall, and transfer the backup state. There is no explanation for what caused the freeze except a “major inconsistency between the backup records on your computer and the records on the servers”. I haven’t done any OS reinstall, restore from backup or anything really - this came out of the blue.
I’ve used Backblaze for 10+ years with no major issue, so this one snag in a decade of use I can maybe forgive.
I unironically love it when you open a man page and it just straight up assumes you don’t know what a file system is.
När man är utvilad nog att vara vaken och man stiger upp
Vrider upp musiken av bara farten
Förvånad sträcker man på sig och beter sig
Som om man aldrig sett solen förut när man ser sig om
Efter ett gyllene tecken av säkraste sort
Folk som fånler som om kyla räknades bort
Kort sagt spenderar man vintern inklämd mellan tätade skott
Så kommer man ut sen och ler som om man flätats för hårt
Here’s a rare plug for my work: try the (free) F-Secure beta, called FS Protection! It includes anti-malware, a simple cross-platform syncing password manager (native UI on macOS, iOS, Android and Windows!), identity protection and parental controls. Sign up here: beta.f-secure.com
Turns out I had been triggering various security monitoring alerts, which in hindsight is quite understandable as I did some 144 (or if it was 288) logins per day to check my account balance.
