hoboes.com - Enable AirPrint for all connected Mac printers

"If you’re still using Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) as I am, you’ll need to
choose the 3.1.x version (3.1.3 as I write this). The newer version requires
either Lion or Mountain Lion, and adds new features such as printing directly
to PDF."

discussions.apple.com - Save As ... in Mavericks

"Open the System Preferences and click on the General tab. By default, two
options are off. Turn on the check boxes for Ask to keep changes when closing
documents, and Close windows when quitting an application."

siggi.hk - New Window in Mavericks' Finder

"This is a SIMBL plugin that will bring back the old behaviour of always opening
folders in new windows, a feature that existed since the first Mac OS in 1984 all
the way up to OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion before Apple removed it in OS X 10.9
Mavericks."

"So, really, you will probably just need to monitor the LaunchDaemons and /private/var/root folders. You will notice in the screenshot that I have other folders listed, this is because I have used this trick to block other types of malware."

macgasm.net - Good Morning, Your Mac Keeps A Log Of All Your Downloads

"According to OS X Daily the Launch Services quarantine keeps a list of
every file you’ve ever downloaded on your Mac, as that’s what triggers
the warning dialog about opening files from the Internet."

LR - macOS Sierra and (legacy) smart card login

"It is easy to configure a user account to use a smartcard to login with macOS
Sierra. Some steps are not easy to guess so I wrote this documentation for me
to remember."

apple.stackexchange - Now that El Capitan is 'rootless', is there any way
to get dtrace working?

"Copy the binary to a directory that is not 'restricted', for example, /tmp

csrutil disable does not work for dtruss to some degree. But as @J.J said chroot
works, this inspired me.

Still I don't know why this works. It may have something to do with the
'protected directories', I guess."

internals - DTrace vs. System Integrity Protection

(reboot, hold cmd+R until a progress bar appears; csrutil disable / enable)

"The Good

You're able to do anything you want with the OS, yay! ٩(⸝⸝⸝◕ั ௰ ◕ั⸝⸝⸝ )و

The Bad

You're not safe: there're plenty of rootkits in a wild which can infect your
system. Actually, you're as safe as on OS X 10.10 or 10.9, so judge for
yourself."


sudo dtrace -n 'syscall:::entry /execname == "securityd"/ { printf("%s %s",execname,copyinstr(arg0)); }'

r - Just made a new macOS window manager that's programmable in JavaScript! Let me know what you think?

"Window managers are one of the hacker's secrets to increased productivity.
Manually managing windows takes small but real amounts of concentration
away from more important matters. Over time that adds up. Window managers
relieve you of that by doing all the moving and positioning for you."

rate limit, or otherwise manage Apple iOS updates from a network perspective.

apple.stackexchange.com - How to completely disable auto-save and versions in Mac OS X Lion?

"And it seems the deamon:

Code:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/GenerationalStorage.framework/Versions/A/Support/revisiond

is responsible for creating the versions - if you rename or move it and restart,
'Versions' no longer functions but this is a bad idea again as all processes that
depend on that deamon run into serious troubles."
