A Short IPv6 Guide for Home IPv4 Admins

This guide is for homelab admins who understand IPv4s well but find setting up IPv6 hard or annoying because things work differently. In some ways, managing an IPv6 network can be simpler than IPv4, one just needs to learn some new concepts and discard some old ones.

Let’s begin.

First of all, there are some concepts that one must unlearn from ipv4:

Concept 1

defaults write com.apple.WindowManager GloballyEnabled -bool [True/False] Adjusts whether Stage Manager is enabled or not.

defaults write com.apple.WindowManager AutoHide -bool [True/False] Adjusts auto hide behavior. This option controls the "Show Recent Apps" and "Hide Recent Apps" GUI option.

defaults write com.apple.WindowManager AutoHideOverlapThreshold -int [-2147483647...2147483647] Unsure what this option does. Should be noted that when AutoHide is set to False and this option is set to -17 or lower Stage Manager behaves as if AutoHide is set to True.

defaults write com.apple.WindowManager LeftStripMaximumRowCount -int [-2147483647...2147483647]

How to use

In iTerm2, in the menu bar go to Scripts > Manage > New Python Script

Select Basic. Select Long-Running Daemon

Give the script a decent name (I chose auto_dark_mode.py)

Save and open the script in your editor of choice.

Exporting (iCloud) Keychain and Safari credentials to a CSV file

Update (October 2021)

Exporting password + one-time code data from iCloud Keychain is now officially supported in macOS Monterey and Safari 15 (for Monterey, Big Sur, and Catalina). You can access it in the Password Manager’s “gear” icon (System Preferences > Passwords on Monterey, and Safari > Passwords everywhere else), or via the File > Export > Passwords... menu item). You shouldn't need to hack up your own exporter anymore.

Original, Obsolete Content (2014)

After my dad died, I wanted to be able to have access any of his online accounts going forward. My dad was a Safari user and used iCloud Keychain to sync his credentials across his devices. I don’t want to have to keep an OS X user account around just to access his accounts, so I wanted to export his credentials to a portable file.
