How Did I Break Keychain Access for My Local Server?

Undesirable Connect Prompt Back in March, I told you the story of how I wrote a Shortcut with a shell script to mount a share on my Synology network attached storage (NAS). I said that I had made fire because I was so proud of myself. I taught myself to write shell scripts and taught […]

I Have Made Fire – Shortcut with Shell Script to Mount a NAS Share

I’m a huge fan of the well-known app Hazel from Noodlesoft. You’ve probably heard of it and may use it yourself, but just in case you haven’t I’ll briefly describe what it does and the problem it solves for me. Hazel watches folders you specify and then takes action on the items in those folders […]

Bulk Storage on the Cheap – by Allister Jenks

When I bought my Apple Silicon-powered MacBook Pro in late 2020, I wasn’t sure what I’d do with my 2018 Mac mini. My overriding thought was it would be useful to keep around as a server, but… what would it serve? I’ve traditionally sold all my old Macs to help defray the cost of my […]

Making Progress Learning the Basics of Synology

As I mentioned a while ago, my aged Drobo 5N died after many years of good service. The 5N, for the last few years, had the role of backup NAS to the newer Drobo 5N2. When the 5N died, I did what I’ve been itching to do for quite some time – I bought a […]
