As I procrastinated finals, decided to write about macOS’s System Integrity Protection and clear up some misconceptions with this setting:
https://khronokernel.github.io/macos/2022/12/09/SIP.html

Was fun writing some Python from scratch (needed to for OpenCore Legacy Patcher anyways), even got to mess around with PyPI and publish my first package for py_sip_xnu:
https://github.com/khronokernel/py_sip_xnu
https://pypi.org/project/py-sip-xnu

Stupid trick: If you have a vanity domain, you can do

$ mkdir .well-known
$ curl 'https://mastodon.instance/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]' > .well-known/webfinger`

... that is, just blindly copy your metadata file, looks like this:

https://infosec.exchange/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:[email protected]

and serve it. Anyone who searches for @[email protected] will be directed to your account.

Here's one of the many beautiful things about Mastodon and the Fediverse:

I saw that @johnvoorhees opened a Pixelfed profile. That service is powered by federation too. So here's what I did:

- Took his profile URL: https://pixelfed.social/johnvoorhees
- Changed it to: @[email protected]
- Searched for the account, and followed him.

Now John's photo feed is another account, from a completely different service, that I follow on my Mastodon. I love this.

Ever wished it was easier to view posts or profiles from another Mastodon instance on *your* instance, without any manual copy & paste?

I made Masto-Redirect, a shortcut that can redirect both account pages and individual posts to your own Mastodon instance.

Takes 1 minute to set up, can run on all Apple platforms. Free to download. Hope you'll find this useful: https://www.macstories.net/ios/masto-redirect-a-mastodon-shortcut-to-redirect-profiles-and-posts-to-your-own-instance/

I've seen a few folks join Mastodon and complain that it's too difficult to follow people on other servers, with the cutting and pasting and whatnot. But @bramus has now created a neat Chrome extension (or bookmarklet, if you prefer to go that route) that let's you avoid all that hassle.

I just tested it out... by following @bramus with it!

I developed a tool to show you your twitter friends on #mastodon: https://www.movetodon.org/

👉 All data stays in your browser
👉 No CSV import neccesary
👉 List can be sorted by sign-up date, so that you can find new accounts fast

Made an iOS Shortcut to let you follow someone from a different Mastodon instance without the copy/paste hoop-jumping.

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e109c8e6b8c0420c902134049b13c064

Once added to your Shortcuts app, you can share a Profile (or webpage or text that contains a profile link or username) to this Shortcut to be taken to the Follow confirmation page without ever copying or pasting anything.

Let me know if you find it helpful or run into any issues.
