Attempting mysql -u root fails with Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost immediately after doing brew install mariadb and starting mariadb with brew services start mariadb.

To fix it (with MariaDB still running):

1. sudo mysql then enter your Mac user password
2. ALTER USER 'root'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'newrootpassword'; replacing newrootpassword with the password you wish to use for the MariaDB root user.
3. Ctrl-C to exit mysql.

You should then be able to connect to MariaDB with mysql -u root -p, then entering the root password when prompted.

Backblaze's bztransmit process loads a file called bzfileids.dat into RAM. This file is a list of all files Backblaze has previously uploaded, including a unique identifier for each file. On most systems, this files is under 100MB in size (paraphrased from Backblaze support rep Zack).

Mine had grown to 6GB. This means that anytime bztransmit runs, it will load this 6GB file into RAM while it is backing up. In doing so it was purging massive ammounts of memory causing behavior like Chrome (usign 10GB of memory on it's own) to hang/beachball for 30 seconds and then refresh all it's windows.

There is no way to alter this behavior once it's begun, aside from starting over with some files excluded. The index needs to be rebuilt from scratch without the excessibe file count, that also means you can't restart and "inherit" a previous backup.

In my case the biggest culprits were .git and node_modules, so I excluded those, started a new backup (transfered licnese) and spent a week hunting for fast internet I could

Exclude node_modules and .git from Backblaze backups on Mac

1. Edit the file at /Library/Backblaze.bzpkg/bzdata/bzexcluderules_editable.xml.
2. Add these rules inside the bzexclusions tag:

<!-- Exclude node_modules. -->
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/node_modules/" contains_2="*" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />
<excludefname_rule plat="mac" osVers="*"  ruleIsOptional="t" skipFirstCharThenStartsWith="users/" contains_1="/.git/" contains_2="*" doesNotContain="*" endsWith="*" hasFileExtension="*" />

Generate a GitHub Personal Access Token for Private Composer Packages

If you're trying to load a private repository with Composer/Laravel, we'll need to generate a GitHub Personal Access Token (similar to OAuth token) to access the repository during a composer install without entering credentials.

If you have used other Github packages from {my-org} before, you may be able to skip this step.

1. Visit https://github.com/settings/tokens.

2. Click Generate new token.

Generating Authy passwords on other authenticators

---

*update: TBC, but this new might affect how easy it is to use this technique past August 2024: Authy is shutting down its desktop app | The 2FA app Authy will only be available on Android and iOS starting in August

---

This gist, based in part on a gist by Brian Hartvigsen, allows you to export from Authy your TOTP tokens you have stored there.
Those can be "standard" 6-digits / 30 secs tokens, or Authy's own version, the 7-digits / 10 secs tokens.
