Allison SheridanHOST
I've thrown in the towel entirely on that whole effort.
Allison SheridanHOST
So I had to figure out how to get rid of Prismcast and channels using Homebrew.
Allison SheridanHOST
I force quit Chrome again, and instantly when I did that, the Mac rebooted.
Allison SheridanHOST
At this point, I threw up my hands, went back to my studio, where one of the cats had barfed on the floor.
Matt BirchlerHOST
And I'm really excited I'm really excited about this because a lot of the development stuff I've been doing has been focused around user experience user features like the sort like just like what does the interface allow you to do and there's been like you know there's back end work for all these apps there's database stuff i have to do and and like data models i need to handle and like uh cloud sync and all that so like there's some stuff but like this felt like a really developer developer like thing to do and it was really cool to like dig into the data to understand how these models work better and to have this thought huh i wonder if we could do this thing and it would make it better and then for it to be remarkably better as a result like it's just very rewarding and very exciting so uh yeah i wanted to do an emergency podcast because i just thought this was a thrill a fun thing and yeah uh In terms of availability, this is available right now with the QuickSubs CLI.
Matt BirchlerHOST
So if you have that installed on your Mac, you can just use Homebrew to upgrade to it.
Matt BirchlerHOST
It should be version 1.6.2. We'll have the latest version of this, and just make sure you're on that.
Matt BirchlerHOST
And you'll get this performance with Parakeet right out of the box.
Will SmithHOST
Yeah.
Brad ShoemakerHOST
We, we don't need to get into why, but I kind of wanted to try something besides Homebrew, which is the predominant, uh, package manager in macOS.
Brad ShoemakerHOST
But Nix, Nix is available and works as a package manager for macOS utilities as well, and I might, I might give that another shot now that I have a lot more experience with this kind of thing.
Will SmithHOST
Yeah.
NickHOST
They also say that stuff like toolbox can work, but the confinement makes it unsuitable for some tasks, like for example, developing system components.
NickHOST
Homebrew also works, but with significant risks of having a mismatch of versions and potential system breakages as well.
NickHOST
This is why KDE Linux decided to not ship Homebrew because this broke their distro, basically, when users install certain libraries through it.
NickHOST
And Flatpak, well, it greatly can't do developer tools right now.
NickHOST
Plenty of older developer-related apps are not designed to work within the sandbox and don't seem interested in supporting it, probably because it would be a lot of work.
Andres AlmirayGUEST
And eventually you might have an executable or an application that you're able to run.
Andres AlmirayGUEST
It will be much easier to simply point you to, hey, There is a version of this app in Mesa, or is Homebrew, or Wingate, or what have you, whichever package manager you like.
Andres AlmirayGUEST
And just install it directly, boom, boom, and you go, right? And you can use it.
Andres AlmirayGUEST
So that's what I wanted to do.
Josh LongHOST
It's a just beautiful tool.
Andres AlmirayGUEST
So he figured out a way to package JBang for different package managers, and he did everything by hand.
Andres AlmirayGUEST
So he had to learn a bit of Ruby to use to find Homebrew formulas and JSON for this package manager and XML and Docker images, blah, blah, blah, a lot of things, right? And whenever there was a new package manager, he will have to dive into the particulars, the specifics for that package manager, support it, and then say, hey, JBang is now available
Josh LongHOST
in whatever this thing is, right?
Omer SingerGUEST
And what we found was also that a lot of the data was not available from the EDR, so things that we, uh, were hoping to see like what is software that's distributed as a package.
Omer SingerGUEST
It might be as like NPM, Homebrew.
Omer SingerGUEST
Like a lot of times those are not available from the EDR.
Omer SingerGUEST
So then we can know where the gaps are and also innovate and find, uh, new capabilities for creating that visibility.
MichaelPANELIST
And I'll just, I guess I'll just pause right there for one second to give anybody an opportunity to jump in.
MichaelPANELIST
Okay, hearing and seeing none, I'll go ahead and say that one thing that I've been doing with Homebrew is like, whenever I do a Homebrew update, I get prompted for tools that are deprecated or,
PaulPANELIST
you
MichaelPANELIST
know, they're going to be removed or, you know, development stop, whatever the case is.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
Now, this is the bit where I tell you all the little things that got a little bit better to cheer us all up.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
Homebrew has gone to 7.0, which is cool because now it has a GUI.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
That already is cool.
Bart BusschotsPANELIST
But not only does it have a GUI, they've also built in a vulnerability scanner and a few other stronger security controls.
Allison SheridanHOST
I walked into Steve's office, and Steve's a real smart guy, not a programmer, hasn't taken programming by stealth, hasn't done any of the stuff that we do.
Allison SheridanHOST
He had installed Homebrew.
Allison SheridanHOST
He had installed FFmpeg and EXIF tools.
Allison SheridanHOST
The problem he needed to solve was he had a 360 video, or a four-pi steradian video, as engineers would say.
John MoltzHOST
The biggest
Dan MorenHOST
incompatibility I have found so far was realizing I think I had both apps both apple silicon and intel versions of homebrew installed and that was turned out to be a bit of a mess because the um intel based ones won't because there's i think there's no rosetta or is there still rosetta and golden gate i don't remember either way uh they wouldn't run anymore the the apps that were installed with that because they were Intel architecture so I had to with the help of one of the AIs I had to figure out how to unwind that and make sure that everything was just using the Apple Silicon version of Homebrew which is good it's nice to get that all squared away but like again this is just sort of cruft from like this being the umpteenth migrated version of the same computer so there's like lots of stuff in here that's like left over do you
John MoltzHOST
remember the last time that you Started
Dan MorenHOST
afresh? I started fresh on one of my laptops, maybe even this era I have now, but I haven't...
