macos – When /tmp/wifi-*.log will show up and how can I stop it? – Super User
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/04/13
When you have many /tmp/wifi-{date}__{time}.log files, then this is how to get rid of them (it happened to me on a fresh Sierra machine):
At least on macOS Sierra (10.12):
- You can see what WIFI related components have debug logging enabled with:
shell# /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport debug- You can disable all debug logging with:
shell# /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/Current/Resources/airport debug -AllUserland -AllDriver -AllVendorFor whatever reason, the debug logging flag was enabled for ‘DriverWPA’ on my machine and that resulted in
/tmp/wifi-{date}__{time}.logfiles getting generated when joining new WPA2 protected WIFI networks.

Connecting two Macs using Thunderbolt | Macworld
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/30
TL;DR: Connecting to Macs over Thunderbolt is easy and has transfer speeds way faster than other network connections.
Summary of steps from [WayBack] Connecting two Macs using Thunderbolt | Macworld
- Connect the Thunderbolt cable between two Macs
- In the Network Preferences find the self-assigned IP address on either side
- In that side, ensure you have File Sharing enabled
- On the other side, open a Finder, press Command-K, then the IP-address you noted and logon
- Transfer files
This also increases LAN sync speeds of DropBox, Google Drive and others.
Note the connection by default using SMB

Capturing from a Magewell XI100USB on a Mac using OS X
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/28
Some notes and links on http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi with specs at http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi/tech-specs
USBCaptureHDMI-Installation-Guide-en-2.0.pdf USB-Capture-HDMI-User-Guide-en.pdf USB-Capture-HDMI_Spec-sheet.pdf
http://www.magewell.com/files/CaptureStudio.zip
The video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbjIx1qhvpM uses Quickier
I used QCamera: the XI100USB shows up as a camera.
Note capturing takes a lot of CPU power, so ensure you’re not running on battery.
I didn’t need any of these downloads:
- http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi/tool
- http://www.magewell.com/usb-capture-hdmi/support
- http://www.magewell.com/downloads
- http://www.magewell.com/compatible-software
On a Mac any of these software tools should work as well:
- Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder
- Adobe Connect
- CoGe VJ
- Discover Video Streamsie
- Gotomeeting
- GrandVJ
- MadMapper
- mimoLive
- OBS studio
- Quicklaunch
- QuickTime Broadcaster
- QuickTime Player
- Resolume
- Skype
- Streambox
- Video Stitch
- VirtualDub
- VLC
- Wirecast
- Zoom.us

Reminder to self if I want to include an SD card in a Time Machine backup
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/26
It should be all automagic as soon as I format an SD card as journaled HFS, but in case it isn’t, here are some links:

macos – How to change the language used on Mac App Store? – Ask Different
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/23
This worked for me as suddenly – after upgrading to Sierra – the App Store was all Dutch where previously it was English:
After I fought with the issue for a few hours, I found the solution.
- Open Mac App Store and log out of the account.
- Restart your Mac.
- Log in to the account again.
Thanks [WayBack] Blaszard for the above answer at [WayBack] macos – How to change the language used on Mac App Store? – Ask Different
Note that this syncs the language in the App Store with the one you’ve set on the OS X level; for changing that, see [WayBack] macOS Sierra: Change the language your Mac uses

macos – How can I manually delete old backups to free space for Time Machine? – Ask Different
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/23
For me the easiest is on a sudo terminal (so I can omit the sudo part in the below commands), but if you’d do it “rather safe then sorry”, you can go from the fine-grained individual backup level:
sudo tmutil delete /Volumes/drive_name/Backups.backupdb/mac_name/YYYY-MM-DD-hhmmss
step by step
sudo tmutil delete /Volumes/drive_name/Backups.backupdb/mac_name
all the way back to
sudo tmutil delete /Volumes/drive_name/Backups.backupdb
Incidentally, the tmutil documentation is now regarded as legacy (I’m not sure why) so before it goes away, I’ve archived it:
[Archive.is] https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/tmutil.8.html
It’s not at http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/Manpages/man8/tmutil.8.html as for instance [WayBack] man tmutil … – Kristian Köhntopp – Google+ referred to a few years back.
Anyway:
- A time machine backs up at most 52 weeks; this article shows some calculations on how much disk space you might need for it: [WayBack] Time machine compression ratio | Official Apple Support Communities
- There is a cool
enablelocalfeature that Kristian Köhntopp refers to that I didn’t know about yet:
“enablelocalTurn on local Time Machine snapshots. Requires root privileges.
disablelocal
Turn off local Time Machine snapshots and trigger automatic cleanup of accumulated local snapshot data. Requires root privileges.”
- Kristian got it via [WayBack] Mac Stuff » Creating local snapshots in Time Machine in Lion 10.7

macos – How can I list all user accounts in the terminal? – Ask Different
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/03/19
With system account starting with underscore:
dscl . list /Users
Without underscore, so only regular accounts:
dscl . list /Users | grep -v ^_.*

command line – Linux’ `ps f` (tree view) equivalent on OSX? – Ask Different
Posted by jpluimers on 2018/02/14
There still is no ps xf on Mac OS X.
You need brew install pstree for that. Then you can excute pstree which gives you a treeview of the processes running.
