I'm getting more equipment for cider making. Yesterday, I racked a couple of my first experiments into 1 gallon glass jugs. I sanitized everything, took specific gravity readings, and had a taste (tastes amazing so far). Shout-out to all the YouTube videos that show how easy it is to make your own hard cider. I'll probably be bottling these in a week or two, and starting new batches in the meantime.

How to fly into a rage in 3 seconds or less...

shevett@mac:~ $ tifftopnm --help
tifftopnm: Use 'man tifftopnm' for help.
shevett@mac:~ $ man tifftopnm
No manual entry for tifftopnm

Really? No man pages? No inline help? Referring directly to things that don't exist?

RRAAARRRRGHHHHGGHHG.

#mac users, help! i'm going crazy, when you install #libsodium using #brew, it installs the library in /opt/homebrew/Cellar/libsodium/<version>/lib/libsodium.dylib but apparently not in /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib, so nothing finds it, and as a build script that has sodium as a dependency has to guess the versions and the path where brew installed the library. this makes no sense, what am i missing, and how is this supposed to work? what kind of madness is this?

SOLVED: see follow-up post.

Homebrew 上的降版與鎖版

標題是在找到「vim-indent-guides doesn't work on Neovim 0.10.x (on macOS)」這個問題時用到的方法,Homebrew 在新版不支援直接透過 command line 降版 (網路上可以找到不少 Homebrew 舊版的處理方法,但已經不能用了),就變得很麻煩...

這邊以 Neovim 為例子,可以找到對應的 formulae 在「neovim — Homebrew Formulae」這邊,裡面有

Hmm, got my #brew completely replaced by nix-darwin and nix-homebrew (for casks.. ‘cause no alternatives) and the whole thing even survived a reboot.

Do I now mentally prepare to move it an eventual for of #Nix in light of the recent events of last week?

Or just revert it and call it a successful experiment <.<

(also, does anyone know if nix-darwin can be configured *not to require /run and instead use /private/var/run?? that symlink in my root volume is an eyesore)
