bgrier 🇨🇦 🍁Finally, getting around to cleaning up an old Mac mini. It’s been in the workshop for years. Still in great shape.
Today’s job is getting snow leopard on it. Then seeing how far I can upgrade it maybe not. #apple #macmini #vintagecomputing #macosx
This one is interesting. It's a forward-facing folder (as first seen in Mac OS X Leopard) but has the old Tiger plastic-pinstripes style for folders. It's almost like a mix between that of Leopard/Tiger but never made it as the default folder icon. I just found this somewhere in the Leopard system files.
Bring back plastic-pinstripes folders! :D haha
So I raided and took many of my favorite icns files from my iBook running Mac OS X Leopard. Jesus Christ these all look so good especially on retina displays.
Jonathan AlfonsoFixing Monolingual Disaster
Oops. There should be English here. I broke my Mac (kind of). A popular utility, Monolingual, allows you to remove unneeded languages, architectures, and input methods from your Mac OS X, which saves quite a bit of space (it saved me almost 7 GB!) on your Mac OS X install. The good part about this is that while it does reduce space used, it can even boost performance, as there is less data contained within applications. The bad part is that you can remove too much. In my case, I removed all input languages, so now I can't type - at all. Every key on my keyboard works, except for the actual letters, which is extremely frustrating.

Graham PerrinCVE-2009-0014 was low severity, according to the GitHub Advisory Database.
"Folder Manager in Apple Mac OS X 10.5.6 uses insecure default permissions when recreating a Downloads folder after it has been deleted, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions and read the Downloads folder."
<https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-pv9g-rrhq-mpqc>
If I recall correctly: the bug was not limited to recreated folders – all users of Mac OS X Server could read each other's downloads folders.

The Virtual OS Museum - Retrópolis
Muitos sites comentaram sobre o Virtual OS Museum: Saíram matérias no OSnews, na Mac Magazine, no Canaltech e é claro, no Register. Mas o que muita gente não sabe, é o que estaremos falando agora. Este museu pode ser baixado, e tem um total de 179 Gb - o que eu achei até pouco, dada
