Updated MorphOS from 3.18 to 3.20 on my G4 Mac Mini. Since the cd drive doesn’t work, I always have to dig out the secret open firmware incantation and instructions to myself. I wish the team would keep it on the official homepage, because the aging hardware is quite likely to have issues like this. As a particularly fun challenge, my remaining monitor with DVI didn’t like the OF resolution, so I had to enter " boot hd:,"(5C)boot.img bi=dh1:morphos.iso" evaluate without being …

I pre-ordered a M6 Mac Mini with 32 GB of memory (and thought "that was a lot of money but the market is going to be shit for a few more years"), realized that I really need Thunderbolt 5 (the M6 Mac Mini does not have that) because I am interested in using Remote Direct Memory Access, canceled the M6 Mac Mini pre-order, and pre-ordered a M5 Pro Mac Mini with 64 GB. So, now I have spent 2x "a lot of money". Why didn't I get a laptop instead? That would be 3x "a lot of money". 😆

Tipp: Mac mini M4 ohne Einschaltknopf starten
Bei bestimmten neueren Macs lässt sich der Rechner bei Verbindung mit dem Stromnetz automatisch hochfahren. Das hat viele Vorteile.

macOS 27 Beta 2 downloaded and installed on this M3 MacBook Air, and we’re up and running OK. Let’s see what bugs I can find and report as we go through the day. Mind you, I’ll probably switch to my Mac Mini later on. I don’t expect to sit outside all day.

I have the servers "Delores" (built to be a killer AI) and "Teddy" (a headless Mac Mini). The other day, I spun up a new server and had to think about what to name it. I went with "Elsie".

Perhaps I am becoming a minority. I much prefer to write, blog, and use social media on my MacBook or Mac Mini than I do on my iPhone. I usually only do quick stuff on the phone, though I did buy a folding keyboard so I can use it more easily when out and about. I’m almost always more interested in MacOS software than iOS.

I think that I figured out how to SSH from my iPad to my Mac Mini over meshnet. The problem was that settings missing in the Mac meshnet app were present in the Windows app, and once I flipped those, all was well. I shouldn't need a Windows machine sitting around on my network. Grr.

I just did a deep-level virus scan of my M4 Pro Mac Mini. Took a little while, but there were 1.3m files in total.

... This summer, I got a good deal on a m3-based iPad Air and I have been working on building a workflow using Textastic, a VPN, and a VPS (sitting in a data center). I want to plug this Mac Mini into that and see what I can do.
