notes on migration to travis-ci.com

I successfully migrated canary repo under my travis-ci.com account. All seems to work for now. Didn't ask for any credits of OSS yet.

The api endpoint is hard-coded so all old travis-ci.org-associated projects started failing since I switched it to travis-ci.com.

How to migrate your projects:

  1. Use the magic "migrate" button to move them from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com (If your repos are associated with travis-ci.org, you won't see them under travis-ci.com).
  2. Travis access token is different for travis-ci.com, so old tokens won't work. Please follow the readme and update your tokens in travis.yml in the jobs branch.

APFS Container cloning/replicating under macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) - with a bootable system

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?

Gmail issue: 535 5.7.8 Username and Password not accepted.

The problem

I'm using web-based gmail as my primary email client. I want to use anoter SMTP server to send emails using secondary email address which is managed by GSuite.

GMail offers "Send emails from a different address or alias" feature[1].

Historically it has been possible to use smtp.gmail.com with my GSuite credentials to enable the feature and send emails via my secondary email without problems.
