I recently updated to Mac OS version 13 (Ventura). It mostly went smoothly, but there were a few issues of note, including an SSH key problem.

Due to some compromised Github code signing certificates, I had to downgrade my installed Atom editor to version 1.60.

Apparently, an update to VirtualBox after version 6.1.26 limited the IP’s usable for network adapters on Mac / Linux hosts. They must now be in the 192.68.56.0/21 range, which is pretty limited and much less easy to remember or type than the 10.*.*.* that I had been using. I had to change my projects to all be in this range and spread out the IPs to avoid collisions between the various projects when I updated VirtualBox a while back.
Github repo backup script
For some time, I’ve been wanting to set up a backup for my Github repos. Technically they are all backed up by my local copies, which are also backed up when I back up my local computer. However, I wanted something that was sure to have everything from all the repos (all branches, tags, etc) and could be set up and run continuously on a yet-to-be-created backup server. I have create a bash script to do this for me.

After hours of playing and learning some details of vimscript, I have improved the autocomplete in vim almost to where I like it.

The main thing I would like to add is fuzzy matching. I’d also like it to match more in-document words and work for more unknown file-types in a generic way.

in
At some point recently, git init on my Mac has started to default to the branch name “main”. It did this for a repo I created today, but not for one created August 29th, so maybe Apple made a change in an update sometime between then and now. I haven’t been able to find anything about the change on the web though.
Seems like Facebook rescinded their choice to have dark mode on Messenger Lite.

Yay, Facebook Messenger Lite (on Android) has finally got a dark mode. One of the last few apps that hadn’t had it that I use somewhat frequently. I find dark mode to be easier on my eyes in that I can look at it for longer.
I updated to Mac OS Monterey (12.5) finally. It went smoothly but I’m still working through getting some of my dev software updated and working.
