This Space for Rent

Annoying macos feature of the day

I’ve been using Apples Time Machine to do automatic backups of my work computer for a couple of years now, and I had a huge long list of backups going back to the beginning of time.

Had is, alas, the operative word. My mac got confused about the backup disk, so it first complained about the disk being full (it’s a half-full 1gb disk) and then it wiped out the entire backup volume before starting from scratch again.

Sigh.

Now that’s quality software engineering. It’s so good to see that FreeBSD can be fucked up to the point where it’s operationally indistinguishable from Linux.
