The other day, I realized while I was at work that I needed some files from my Mac desktop at home. Normally, no problem, ssh into my firewall and open a tunnel to my desktop (this is better done with authpf, but that’s a post for another time), use sftp, and done. The problem is [...]

I have about as many WinXP machines as OS X machines around here (and a few OpenBSD boxes, but that’s beside the point), and yet I find it’s rare that I touch anything other than the Macs anymore. Why? Well, I suspect it’s the same reason I keep seeing little things here and there that [...]
