      @Obsolesce said in SAMIT: Apple M1 ARM Silicon: @scottalanmiller said in SAMIT: Apple M1 ARM Silicon: So completely by coincidence, my Mac M1 arrived yesterday! I didn't know that it had been ordered, @pchiodo and @ysapir hid the order from me and surprised me with it. So I am posting from the M1 right now! Which M1 device did you get? MacBook pro 13"? Mini, I'm a big desktop guy. Well, I'm big on desktops that are small.

Intel removed licensing for TB3 as part of agreement to make part of USB4 spec. That's great. The two have been way too close.

      @Obsolesce said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC: @scottalanmiller said in Apple Mac Going to ARM RISC: RISC-V is seen as the future with more modern and more open design than ARM and zero security risks like ARM has. ARM is so risky, I'd never risk (pun intended) developing something new with it, only something old. Oh yeah, forgot about that! Still very low end devices, but moving up fast. I'm really excited to see the first SBCs and desktops built off of it.

      @travisdh1 said in Apple 2FA: @Dashrender said in Apple 2FA: @JaredBusch said in Apple 2FA: @black3dynamite said in Apple 2FA: Allow approval from notifications. But it's disabled if you enable Authy protection PIN. @Dashrender read the entire fucking line.... The app supports it unless you proctect it in the first place. which you should.. It has nothing to do with the service. I don't recall such a conversation - I'm specifically talking about push notifications - I was unaware that third parties were able to register for and receive push notifications like Google and MS (and frankly Apple) provide their MFA apps. This is a whole other topic again. When do you think apps stopped being able to do push notifications? That's all it is. huh? The MS authenticator registers itself for push notifications from MS, GA does from Google - are you saying you can do that with Authy for google and microsoft services? I completely understand that I can add TOTP to Authy for MS and Google, but I quoted and am specifically asking about push notifications from those via Authy. My google foo is finding nothing but people bitching about how authy does NOT support push, but does support TOTP. Now all that said - I see that Authy has created One Touch - and that One Touch as an API that allows push notifications, but I can't find anywhere that says that Google/MS have enabled that feature.

      @stacksofplates said in Scripted visudo updates: @DustinB3403 said in Scripted visudo updates: Well I managed to get the file created, I had to use visudo to create a custom file with my edits. I'm testing it now to see if everything works. Really? It doesn't let you just sudo a file in the dump directory? I wonder how they are enforcing that? Yeah, not sure why it was having a hissy fit over it, but I've got a good working custom sudoer.d/god file now that can be used for what I have, and I can simply cp that into the appropriate folder and reset the perms on it (if required) to get everything working. Thanks for the help guys!

      @scottalanmiller Yep, I just wanted to share the configuration I use as my daily driver because it makes working in the terminal that much more efficient. The OP mentioned wanting something that was a bit slicker and more powerful, and I think in addition to your choice of terminal, your choice of shell and other tools contributes to having a better experience. I prefer FISH for my shell, and tmux is my terminal multiplexor of choice. ZSH is another great alternative shell as well.

      @DustinB3403 said in Tar gzip file compression calculation without decompressing the file: @Pete-S So the simplest way I can think to explain this would be like this. You have a network share which is relatively organized You create a compressed tarball of any folder on that share and then move that tarball to offsite storage. How would I realistically get a hash of that folder pre and post tar and compression and have it make sense? They aren't the same thing, even if they contain the same things. @Pete-S said in Tar gzip file compression calculation without decompressing the file: Is it safe to assume that the gzip file is correct when it is created? This is what I'm looking to verify I'm assuming that files are static during backup. If you first of all run md5deep on all files in the folder, you'll create a textfile that contains md5 (or sha256 or what you want) signatures on every file in the folder. Place it into the folder so it ends up inside the backup and you'll always have the ability to verify any uncompressed individual file. If you really want to verify your tar.gz file after it's created I think you have to decompress the files to a temporary folder, run md5deep on the files to compare them with the original file. What you really are testing is that the backup-compress-decompress-restore operation is lossless on every file. It should be by design, but if there is an unlikely bug somewhere it's technically possible that it might not be. If you use the gzip compression with tar, gzip has a CRC-32 checksum inside that can be used to verify the integrity of the gzip file. Or to be even more certain you can create an md5 signature of the entire gzip archive with md5sum or md5deep. Then you can always verify that the archive has not been corrupted. If you ever need to restore the files you can verify the integrity of the restored files with the md5 you created on the original files, before you did the backup.

      @scottalanmiller said in Best SIP VoIP Softphone for macOS: Got a couple of users on macOS that would like to set up a softphone on their desktops. In theory Linphone, Zoiper, X-Lite make macOS versions. Anyone have a reason to pick one or the other or have another option on macOS? I use Telephone on my laptop and like it. Its pretty sparse, but it works well and is efficient.

      I've added this to a larger script that I use, but if you only wanted to automate the naming process the above would work for you. Else just remove the header #!/bin/sh and add the reset to any setup scripts that you have to automate this portion of the setup.

      It is likely obvious, but as I know that some people are searching for this information, creating administrative users in this way can be done very easily from remote command lines such as ScreenConnect, ConnectWise, MeshCentral, and so forth.
