Did you create it on a channel higher than 11? edit: Because > 11 is 5GHz and maybe your other devices don't support it. Slowhanded posted:Depending on your size needs and internet speeds, cloud storage may not be the best. But if you're looking at, say, < 3 TB and don't want to bother learning about RAID best practices, I'd recommend a cloud backup, yeah. I still think learning to set up your own RAID is better, because at least the costs are fixed and you aren't at the mercy of your connection speed or connection availability to get access to your data, nor can the cloud provider close their doors on you. I have ~30GB of my most important stuff on S3 and that only costs $1/mo, and apparently it can be even cheaper if I use Glacier instead. You hope you never have to actually use the off-site backup, so it makes sense to have the backup you actually will use under your own control.

LPG Giant posted:Wow those were a lot of things I have never heard of. But a simpler problem for now: when I create the network on my mac it doesn't actually appear to work. It's not broadcasting a WiFi signal: none of my devices can find it. I was also surprised that there is no option to secure the network. Well, the issue is going to be that if the host machine is not connected to a network, even assigning the VM to the wireless adapter is not going to magically create an ad-hoc or SoftAP WLAN. The VM is a virtual ethernet adapter, so all the VM gets is IP/subnet and gateway. Do you have a little AP you can use to create the actual wireless network for a local WLAN? Without a local network for your Host OS, your VM has nothing to talk over.

Apparently at some point the version of rsync included with OS X stopped working with whatever version of rsync daemon Ubuntu 14.04 LTS comes with, so I had to finally decide on MacPorts vs Homebrew (went with Homebrew) and upgrade it to get my weekly backup script working. It would also be nice if we finally had a better (or at least friendlier) option for this than the near 2 decades old rsync if TM's limitations make it a non-option, but that doesn't seem like it'll ever happen.

I wouldn't be able to give it power anyway (this all is going to happen in rural Congo). I thought that choosing create a network on my mac would create a wifi network. Much as how I can create a Wifi network with my iPhone. If I create the network, it does show up on my iPhone 5s, as a device under wifi. It's not showing on the tablets (Android), even after changing the channel.

This is driving me nuts; on OS X, and only on OS X, not Windows, Dropbox syncing stalls every single time because of a virtualenv-related Python file, and I have to manually pause and resume the sync for the sync to finish. How the hell do I stop this madness from continuing? Ideally, I would prefer that my virtualenv folders were synced, but I guess I could manage with a semi-native ignore file. I can't be the only Python developer who's going insane from this.

Why in the world would you sync a virtualenv folder? There are easily thousands of small files in the folder structure that shouldn't have anything to do with your code. Just keep your requirements file in your dropbox and do code:

Any good guide for troubleshooting instant hotspot that broke with 10.10.2? Doesn't see my iPhone 6+ or iPad Air 2 anymore. I can use personal hotspot but then I'm at Bluetooth speeds which sucks. I've signed out and back in on all of the devices iCloud accounts. I've turned off personal hotspot. Handoff icons show up but instant hotspot is just being a bastard.

NeuralSpark posted:Apple stopped updating it when rsync moved to the GPL3 license, because Yeah, I know they haven't updated it and won't, but it had been working fine until some point recently. It's not like rsync is a bleeding-edge program so it didn't matter that it was out of date so long as it was still forward compatible with the versions included by default on other *nix OSes, but that no longer being the case is annoying. MacPorts/Homebrew is easy enough that anyone who really needs rsync is probably more than capable of updating it that way, but it's just another chink in the "it just works" reputation when it comes to OS X.

I would think anyone who knew about rsync would be able to install Homebrew. It's even fairly idiot proof, I don't think it even requires Xcode tools.

Whats a good way to manage wallpaper on a dual screen setup? Obviously OS X doesn't support just having a double wide image over the two screens, but having split pictures set to both screens on in order rotation works until I use something full screen. Anything more elegant available?

japtor posted:You know how it compiles everything from source, even a bunch stuff you (well, OS X) already has? Homebrew skips that and just uses the built in stuff when possible and everything installs much faster as a result. It's an old Unix sysadmin thing. Traditionally you'd have your built-in tools supplied by the vendor, which are built to be stable and work well together but which are almost certainly out of date. The philosophy behind something like MacPorts or Fink is that if you want an extra or updated toolset it should be completely segregated from the built-in utilities. Say for example there's some maintenance script included in the OS that uses Perl - this will have been tested with the version of Perl that came with the system and isn't guaranteed to work with a newer version you installed over it. Also, if some tool you want has Perl as a dependency it can be built against the exact version it wants and not rely on the old built-in version. In practice the average user isn't very likely to cause any catastrophic damage by using Homebrew, but there are definitely still good reasons to keep things cordoned off in a production environment.

Brew also knows when not to link something to the system-wide directories if the system comes with the package. Like if you install perl it will say the system already has perl so you'd have to explicitly specify the brew directory if you want to use brew's perl. You can override all of this too on a case by case basis. But generally it knows when it's safe to 'install' something system wide, but they're just links so yeah you can unlink it easily. I actually switched from ports to brew this morning, it's significantly faster and a lot better to use IMO.

Well I guess I figured out why iMessage was always logging me out on my MBA every once in a while. I've had two-factor authentication on for weeks (months?) and just now, tonight, it told me I needed to setup an app-specific password with no prior notification before. Let's see if I stay logged in this go around.  Edit: And a big, fat nope. Just sat down at work and I still get logged out.

I have a PDF of ~ 80 pages of text that I need to review, take notes on, etc. for an upcoming meeting. It appears to have been scanned but the PDF programs I've tried (Skim, Preview) don't recognize any text, so I can't do any highlighting. In looking around I've found a few programs $50+ that say they will be able to scan the text and turn it into a highlightable document because the text will be recognized...are there any cheaper, or free, programs that will do that? Or am I going about this the wrong way and I should try to do something else? I am trying to prevent having to print it out.

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes: So instead of : "rm -r ./*" I typed: "rm -r /*" It asked for a few confirmations, which I gave, before I figured out my mistake, and stopped. Everything seems to be working fine, but I wondered if there was any way to check and see if I deleted any system OS files, and maybe recover them. I'm on a 2014 macbook pro. Thanks
