It is the year 2020 and replicating APFS containers still sucks. One would expect it would be a simple copy and paste in the Disk Utility app but this is still far from reality.

Last year I wrote how I managed to clone my macOS system under Catalina. The main trick was to create a DMG file with multiple volumes, mount it on target machine and drop to command-line to do asr restore from synthetised disk while avoiding possible pitfalls.

The good news is that Apple devs definitely worked on improving this under Big Sur and added some documentation (see man asr). But I didn't understand it fully on first read. Maybe someone could explain how is this supposed to work?

Stop using JWTs!

TLDR: JWTs should not be used for keeping your user logged in. They are not designed for this purpose, they are not secure, and there is a much better tool which is designed for it: regular cookie sessions.

If you've got a bit of time to watch a presentation on it, I highly recommend this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYeekwv3vC4 (Note that other topics are largely skimmed over, such as CSRF protection. You should learn about other topics from other sources. Also note that "valid" usecases for JWTs at the end of the video can also be easily handled by other, better, and more secure tools. Specifically, PASETO.)

A related topic: Don't use localStorage (or sessionStorage) for authentication credentials, including JWT tokens: https://www.rdegges.com/2018/please-stop-using-local-storage/

The reason to avoid JWTs comes down to a couple different points:

• The JWT specification is specifically designed only for very short-live tokens (~5 minute or less). Sessions

OK, I've experimented a lot getting this going with the docker+machine executor (specifically with the amazonec2 driver, which I suspect is quite common for people looking at this thread!), it may also be helpful to others when debugging what's going on for them.

docker+machine is interesting because it has several relevant contexts (i.e. a file system and environment variables), which I shall refer to as:

• "runner": what is running the gitlab-runner binary - in my case this is an ECS-managed docker container for the gitlab/gitlab-runner image on docker hub, but it could the systemd service configuration if you're running directly on the machine.
• "job host": the docker-machine created machine (e.g. EC2 instance) that runs the docker daemon
• "job container": the docker container for the image specified in the project .gitlab-ci.yaml (or the default in config.toml)
