Encrypted APFS Home Folder on Mac OSX

Encrypted APFS Home Folder on Mac OSX

Note: This is an update of Will Haley's excellent post to use APFS instead of CoreStorage.

UPDATE: Doesn't work on Catalina

The script can't read the file containing the password on the USB thumb drive. When formatted as FAT32 as described below, the user/group of the file is unknown/unknown. But I also tried formatting the USB thumb drive in HFS+, unchecking "Ignore permissions on this volume" and changing the file owner to root:wheel. The file is still not readable to the boot process. Probably something to do with new security restrictions in Catalina. A script running as root reading data from a thumb drive? Makes sense.

Back to previous program

Notes on provider change from Colorado Central Telecom to Cielo

I have been considering using a new DNS server which was written up in USA today, quad9. They do threat analysis and block nefarious sites. Yesterday morning I was doing some pinging of quad9 and Google DNS on Colorado central telecom. I repeated the ping tests after the Cielo install.

They show that Cielo has 2 to 3 times the latency, and a lot more jitter. I wonder if this could be related to DSLReport bufferbloat grade of 'F'.? Probably not, I doubt if ICMP packets are buffered.

Update DL2 firmware from 1.4.4 to 1.4.7

DL2 Update

The trouble is the instructions on the Resol website for this update are wrong. I found helpful instructions on the way back machine, but even those had to be adjusted.

Here's what worked for me:

  1. Make sure you are on firmware version 1.4.5 or lower. Go to http://192.168.1.100/cgi-bin/get_resol_device_information (replace 192.168.1.100 with your DL2’s IP address)
  2. Format your SD card. Formatting on the Mac with MS-DOS(FAT) didn’t work for me. I ended up formatting it on my Panasonic camera.
  3. Insert the freshly-formatted card into the DL2, wait till the flashing green light turns solid. . .

Configurable per-project options for [prettier-emacs](https://github.com/prettier/prettier-emacs)

Given an invocation of prettier in package.json like this:

  "scripts": {
    "prettier": "prettier --write --single-quote --no-semi --trailing-comma es5 --print-width 80 \"*.js\""
  },

Move the options to a config variable like this:

 "scripts": { 
#!/bin/bash
# This script automatically sets the version and short version string of
# an Xcode project from the Git repository containing the project.
#
# To use this script in Xcode, add the script's path to a "Run Script" build
# phase for your application target.
