  • I like the summaries of notifications. This way, I don’t have to guess what an email is about from the first few words which usually are “Hi mbirth, I hope this email reaches you well”.

    The rest of the Apple Intelligence is stuff I can live without. However, Image Playground is nice to create contact pictures or some funny sticker. The newer proofing and grammatical suggestions are nice for second languages. So, it’s not all useless.





  • One of the first tools people tend to install is either Alfred or Raycast. I never used Alfred for more than a nifty app launcher, so a few weeks ago I’ve decided to uninstall it and just use the integrated Spotlight feature (⌘ + SPACE).

    Same with window arrangement tools like Rectangle, Magnet or Swish. There’s no real need since macOS 15.1.

    What you DO need is AppCleaner. Instead of just dragging an app to the Recycle Bin to uninstall it, drag it into AppCleaner and it will find all additional stuff that app created and allow you to remove that, too. Maybe also add UninstallPKG to remove remnants of apps that were installed using .pkg files.

    What I also use on a daily basis are a few extensions for Safari: Wipr to block ads in Safari, Noir to not get blinded at night, and SponsorBlock to skip ads in YouTube videos.

    If you often download videos and audio files, Downie is pretty good for that.

    Media playback: IINA and/or VLC.

    If you want to play around on the command line, I prefer iTerm2 over the built-in terminal app. Install Homebrew to get a nice easy way of adding even more command line tools.

    If you often organise your files using Finder, Yoink is great as a temporary bucket. iPreview and Peek (maybe Syntax Highlight, too) are great for previewing various kinds of files (SPACE in Finder).

    For my office needs, I’m using all the integrated apps, e.g. Pages, Numbers, Calendar, Contacts, Reminders, Notes, Mail, etc.

    I think that’s as generic as it gets. I have lots of other apps, but they are mostly for specific things… nothing I use on a general basis.



  • You have to actually add the middleware into the (default) chain for your https entrypoint (I think in most tutorials it’s called websecure) - in my static conf I have this:

    entryPoints:
      https:                                                           
        address: :443                                                  
        http:                                                          
          middlewares:                                                 
            - crowdsec-bouncer@file                                    
            - secure-headers@file 
    

    And in my dynamic conf I have this:

    http:
      middlewares:
        crowdsec-bouncer:
          plugin:
            crowdsec-bouncer-traefik-plugin:
              CrowdsecLapiKey: "### Enter your LAPI Key here ###"
              Enabled: true

    Some food for thought:

    When I was looking to get my photos under control, in the end I decided to go all-in with Apple Photos. As I’m also using a Mac, the convenience can’t be beaten. Also, I can easily pull up any photo using Apple’s smart filters and can easily select photos from within apps without having to “share” them to the photos library first.

    But this was only decided after I found out that Apple Photos keeps all photos in separate files in original quality and all metadata in a local SQLite database. Using the osxphotos tool, you can query this database and easily pull out any photo incl. metadata - even when running on other OSes, no need for Apple Photos. This also makes it easy to move everything to another system, if needed.

    I’ve set my Mac to always keep original copies on disk and run a backup to my NAS every night. (Using CCC at the moment, but looking to switch to restic.) This way, all my photos are always off-site in iCloud, on my Mac and on my NAS.

    You’d just need a tool to upload your Android photos to iCloud. From a quick search it seems Sync for iCloud might do the trick - albeit manually … if I read the reviews correctly.




  • I’d suggest /opt/docker/_compose/ for all the compose files. Or, if you keep all the config files for your containers on your NAS, maybe create a share there and put all yml files in it, then mount it on the host. This way everything is on your NAS and nothing is lost if the host freaks out.

    And I’d add the NFS mounts to the compose files as well. When specifying volumes, you can use anything the host OS has a mount.xxx command for. Docker will take care of mounting everything.
