If iOS/macOS 27 isn't a snow leopard I'm gone too, I've been a user for nearly 30 decades... fuck this, it's all so sloppy, too many grievances to even begin enumerating.

Tahoe is a nightmare. I’m Literally not buying a new Mac because of it.

Dye destroyed macOS. I don’t know what they do, but they have to backtrack.


I agree. I would like to buy a new Mac but that would mean I'm forced to use macOS 26. It may be years before I buy a new Mac.


this is completely false, compile a binary strip the signature and see for yourself.

AS requires code sign with adhoc, minimum.


To check I did this: removed the signature (LC_CODE_SIGNATURE section) using lief Python package (no affiliation, just looked suitable for the task), checked by otool that the section is indeed gone, started the binary - it worked. The spctl said that the binary is "rejected", but it says so about every non-Apple binary I checked on my machine so not informative. The codesign tool shows "is not signed at all" on the binary with stripped signature. I'm not too well-versed in OSX system/dev tools, so if there is a more correct/precise method of checking the signatures I'd very much like to know.


hmmm this is really bizarre.

are you running < 15.1?


Nope, 15.7.2. Maybe there are some settings, unknown to me, that are configured by MDM and that allow for such behaviour - our Macbooks are managed by the employer and are intended for development, so would be logical to set them up this way.


_A Mac with Apple silicon doesn’t permit native arm64 code to execute unless a valid signature is attached. This signature can be as simple as an ad hoc code signature (cf. codesign(1)) that doesn’t bear any actual identity from the secret half of an asymmetric key pair (it’s simply an unauthenticated measurement of the binary)._

_For binary compatibility, translated x86_64 code is permitted to execute through Rosetta with no signature information at all. No specific identity is conveyed to this code through the device-specific Secure Enclave signing procedure, and it executes with precisely the same limitations as native unsigned code executing on an Intel-based Mac._

Maybe it's Rosetta bins? - src from Apple:

I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to read this dialogue.


Anyone still using Windows for anything but gaming is an idiot.


Or, they are opting for convenience. Why bother with the OS, when it does the job, and there is a myriad other aspects of a person's life?


cause I use it 12 hours a day?


Yes, I worded that too personal. Of course if you use it so much, consciously, you care about it. I'm in the same boat, and I use Linux for the same reason.

What I really wanted to say: "Most people don't bother with the OS, when it does its job, because there is a myriad other aspects of their life." And I do stand by this. Not because I like it, but because it's my experience with people. They don't rock the boat if not necessary, and frankly, I'm the same, just in different domains.

And so, these people are far from idiots. They just care about different things.


that's fair ya


And you know it because you're forced to use windows somewhere?


yes, and I grew up with 1.0/3.1


your spelled iTerm2 wrong :)


You meant "iTerm2 with no scrollbars and no scrollback history search" was spelled wrong.

(yes I know they are working on it; but I also know iTerm2 and Konsole have had them since about forever, and I use that feature a lot, so it's kinda major impediment)


I was on iTerm2 for a pretty loong time. You should try out Ghostty.


iTerm2 is not in the same league when it comes to speed.


How are all of you spelling WezTerm wrong.


Just started using this - it's pretty nice. Very customizable but it makes my oh-my-zsh setup look like crap with it's fonts.

I started using it since it's cross platform and I use chezmoi, but the config quickly gets complicated if you want things like folders in your tab titles, etc


How do I run this on Windows and Linux?


Ghostty aims to be cross-platform (I think Windows support isn’t there yet but is planned), but iTerm2 is macOS-only.


who uses browser level Adblockers anymore?

Just use Pihole.

Traveling? VPN home then Pihole


Apparently a lot of folks, at least judging by UBO user numbers. Pihole doesn't look trivial to setup.


lol. I work in Applied cryptography and I don’t know a harder distributed system built on such a broad spectrum of primitives which has seen such high uptime.

Are you qualified to speak on this topic?


Shock: company selling quills says printing press bad for humans.


I work in applied cryptography and XMR is my preferred cryptocurrency.


Why not Zcash?


Monero doesn't have a dev tax.

Though Zcash proponents will say the tax is a good thing. The tax is so good, that instead of getting rid of the tax after half of the coins were mined like the developers originally promised, the devs kept the dev tax for all of the mined coins.


Not the OP, but Zcash's privacy feztures are optional and seldom used in practice, whereas monero is secure by default. It helps with blending in the crowd.


right, plus the anonymity set size, plus the original trusted setup (now largely resolved)


Heya, is it possible to detect the worm on iOS / macOS? Does the fix in latest OS just remove the worm if unknowingly infected?

Reads like a zero click infection leading to arbitrary execution of long running code.

Seems fairly insidious?
