Allez, c'est l'heure de transférer vos photos de votre téléphone à votre ordi sans passer par Google et compagnie !
À partir d'aujourd'hui (sauf si vous avez déjà trouvé mieux) vous allez utiliser #LocalSend, un tout petit #LogicielLibre disponible pour #Linux, #Windows #MacOS #iOS et #Android qui permet de passer ses fichiers d'un appareil à un autre en utilisant votre réseau local. Simple, léger, efficace : les fichiers restent à la maison.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT for anyone using my macOS package repository from https://pkgsrc.smartos.org/install-on-macos/
There's a subtle upgrade scenario I didn't test correctly, and your next upgrade will fail due to PGP key bootstrap issues.
To fix:
$ pkgin -d upgrade
$ t=$(mktemp -d); cd $t
$ ar x /var/db/pkgin/cache/pkg_install-20250417.tgz
$ pkg_add -C /dev/null -U pkg_install-20250417.tmp.tgz
$ pkgin upgrade
Once you're past that everything should be fine. Really sorry for the inconvenience.

I've also published an new 20251114 bootstrap kit. This isn't necessary if you already have an install (the steps above will get you past the problem without it), but means new users will not run into the issue.

If you’re using macOS Time Machine to a NAS Time Machine server using Samba SMB services, beware Samba 4.22:
“As part of the backup TM tries to rename a directory while having an open file within the directory. Windows requires this to fail and this is what Samba also implements. There used to be a workaround for Macs by using fruit:posix_rename but that option was removed in 4.22 as it imposed an unreasonable development burden due to introducing hard to follow logic in very complex code. As part of implementing SMB3 UNIX Extensions in Samba, this part of the code has to be modified and this was only sensibly possible after removing the fruit:posix_rename code.
As an alternative, fruit shuld be extended to internally make macOS clients POSIX clients so they can benefit from the existing logic in Samba that allows such renames if all opens (recursively) are POSIX opens.
Have patch, need bugnumber.”
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15926
Also:
“fruit:posix_rename
This option of the vfs_fruit VFS module that could be used to enable POSIX directory rename behaviour for OS X clients has been removed as it could result in severe problems for Windows clients.
As a possible workaround it is possible to prevent creation of .DS_Store files (a Finder thingy to store directory view settings) on network mounts by running
$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
on the Mac.”

Y’all. I just released an update for Ratio (v1.3), my macOS color contrast checker for accessibility compliance.
I fixed on small bug and added a support link. Wait for the prompt or download the update now:
https://ratioapp.markwyner.com
Color contrast is easy with Ratio. As the app says, “you can do it. I believe in you.”

I recently received two 27" Apple Thunderbolt displays that another group at my university was retiring. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any Thunderbolt 3 to 2 adapter cables. The official Apple adapters are 55€ a piece, which is not exactly cheap.
Is there a less expensive option, e.g. a third-party adapter, that can be used to connect the displays to a recent (Apple Silicon) Mac?
