Thanks for this.

I use Strava to track my cycling throughout the week to watch number go up.

Due to my own weirdness don’t wish to use their official app which seems to be the only way to upload rides for me now.

I’ve been doing exactly this for the past 5 years or so.

It’s been pretty stable and reliable.

I went with the PCI passthrough method

You pedantic fuck ❤️

The FuseFS thing; yeah It was crazy to me because I must abandon the metaphor by saying…

MacOS IS Unix AND Linux is really just trying its damndest to BE Unix

Both MacOS and Unix are POSIX… while Windows requires either WSL OR if you are old school cygwin to achieve POSIX compatibility

So to a degree they are the similar…

but like finding a dick on the internet you are always reminded by MacOS that Unix != Linux :) (I love Linux all the same)

Mac OS version of Fuse is a commercial software. That said there are other alternatives.

I use Samba over my LAN and ZeroTier to create a sort of VPN Samba on MacOS is a bit slow (heads up) I have not yet figured that issue out but this setup worked for me for a number of years. (and manages to handle my time machine backups over LAN)

Any more since most of my remote access needs fall under development I user Visual Studio Code and their Remote connections system (which is pretty fucking good and “only” requires an SSH connection… and a decent amount of RAM on the remote host)

There are a lot of things to beat up an MacOS over… but honestly getting more technical windows users to from Windows to Mac WILL help Linux adoption. Getting into the underpants of MacOS is very similar to linux (you just don’t HAVE to have fun unless you want to)

ME was the worst. DOS based windows 9x in a world with Win2k and XP launched only 1 year later

ME Was DOA even if it had been a “flawless” continuation of 98SE
