I’ve found Gnu stow to manage linking my dotfiles from my git repo into their target directories. So far I’ve only done zsh, tmux and git. Now I’ve moved nvim, tmuxinator and fish into the same dotfiles directory and am linking them with stow.
I’ve been using fish for quite a while now, in cooperation with tmux.
As seen in my previous post I've updated my environment regarding tmux and editor. I did do a re-think about shell though, and I thought I'd go with the default shell in macOS for a while at least. I still have my fish config.
I'm now considering, and trying, going back to zsh, but not in combination with Oh-my-zsh that was part of my old YADR setup. After seeing how it grew over the last couple of years, and reading about it being kind of "bloatware" nowadays - I thought I'd try something slimmer. I found zsh4humans and thought I'd try that for a while. It incorporates p10k and with some tweaks it seems like I can get it to where I like it.

I've been using all different incarnations of Vi since I started working with Unix 1991. I think I've tried most of them: Vi, Vim, gVim, MacVim, and now I've arrived at NeoVim, or "nvim" for short.
The setup I've been using with MacVim has been the YADR setup. However, since I'm not a developer per se, but a SysAdmin, there were a bit too much config involved in YADR.
I've now found NeoVim and it's excellent LazyVim setup, that I'll be trying out for a while. During that I also found the Tmux Plugin Manager, that I'll also test for a while.
For all of the tools (fish, tmux and nvim) I also found the Dracula theme/colorscheme, which also has themes/colorschemes for some 300+ apps, including Visual Studio Code, iTerm, native terminals for Gnome, macOS and Windows among others.

A bug in macOS 10.15.(4/5) makes (at least) 16” MBPs to crash and reboot when waking from sleep when an external monitor is connected.
I’ve setup Watchtower to automate keeping the docker containers up to date in my Synology setup.
So, I decided to retire my old Mac mini with external USB-drives runnning Plex, with Sonarr, Radarr, Deluge (previously), Transmission, SABNzb and Jackett for downloading and organizing content.
We’re using a Configuration Profile for 802.1x authorization. It binds to the “First available” ethernet, which means if you use a different type of adapter (USB/Thunderbolt/etc. are different types), it won’t use the profile. You either have to be without ethernet (usually not a viable option) or re-install the profile for the correct type of ethernet adapter.
I’ve been playing with setting a password policy for all our Mac users with a configuration profile from Jamf Pro.
When exporting data from HipChat Server or Data Center you will end up with unusable usernames due to the fact that HipChat doesn’t care about usernames, it uses email address as it’s authentication id.
We are programatically sending messages to and creating rooms in our HipChat server using API tokens. Sometimes you might need to increase the RateLimit to be able to process the number of API requests that the server can handle for any particular API token.
Running Jamf Pro on a virtual server (2 cores, 4gb ram, with CentOS 7.3.1611) doesn’t seem to work without telling java to use ‘/dev/urandom’ as source for “randomness”.
So, I’ve now spent two days setting up an apache proxy in front of the built-in tomcat 8 in my new JSS.
I have spent a couple of weeks planning and testing an upgrade and migration of our production-instance of Confluence.

Sometimes when doing export/import via XML of Atlassian products (Jira, Confluence etc.) you might run into a problem when importing because of invalid characters in the XML-file.
So, to avoid having more people running into this strange problem, I’d thought I’d share my experience.
