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?

# If run inside a git repository will return a valid semver based on
# the semver formatted tags. For example if the current HEAD is tagged
# at 0.0.1, then the version echoed will simply be 0.0.1. However, if
# the tag is say, 3 patches behind, the tag will be in the form
# `0.0.1+build.3.0ace960`. This is basically, the current tag a
# monotonically increasing commit (the number of commits since the
# tag, and then a git short ref to identify the commit.

Creating a redis Module in 15 lines of code!

A quick guide to write a very very simple "ECHO" style module to redis and load it. It's not really useful of course, but the idea is to illustrate how little boilerplate it takes.

Step 1: open your favorite editor and write/paste the following code in a file called module.c

#include "redismodule.h"
/* ECHO <string> - Echo back a string sent from the client */
int EchoCommand(RedisModuleCtx *ctx, RedisModuleString **argv, int argc) {
