I was going to go for a long walk and listen to some long-neglected podcasts but my AirPods said nope

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.

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.
