Install NGINX, MariaDB 10.1, and PHP 7.1 stack on macOS Sierra using MacPorts

I keep most of my configuration stuff in a local Git repository so I can track changes and I symlink to those from where they should be so you will see commands such as

 sudo ln -s ~/Documents/configs/PHP/fat-tony.local/php71.ini /opt/local/etc/php71/php.ini 

If you don’t have a similar setup, just copy your configuration files to where they need to be.

I like to prepend some of the commands with time just for curiosity’s sake to see how long it takes.

Install MAPP (MAMP) stack on El Capitan using MacPorts

I keep most of my Apache/PHP/Percona (MySQL) configuration stuff in a local Git repository so I can track changes and I symlink to those from where they should be so you will see commands such as

 sudo ln -s ~/Documents/configs/PHP/fat-tony.local/php56.ini /opt/local/etc/php56/php.ini

Will this iTunes Match strategy work?

Update: I have moved this over to my own site where I will post updates regarding whether or not this works.

I have an iTunes library that exceeds the 25,000 song limit for iTunes Match even when you subtract the purchased songs from the total. For argument’s sake, and because this isn’t a mine-is-bigger-than-yours contest, lets call it 30,000 ripped songs.

I would like to utilize iTunes Match, but I do not want to split my library into two separate libraries as suggested by many articles including @flargh’s recent “iTunes Match Limit: What to do when you hit 25,000 songs.”

Let me clarify…

Allow me to clarify that “I do not want to split my library into two separate libraries” comment…
