@timapple If you do decide to go that route, ChatGPT honestly spits out pretty decent instructions on how this can be automated with GitHub actions. You could even make a Homebrew tap repo to allow Mac users the ability to install via Homebrew. Not asking, just saying it’s possible depending on your intent.

@timapple FWIW, the Darwin binaries built by GitHub work for me. These binaries are not notarized, so you need to jump through the system hoops of allowing unsigned binaries.

@gregmorris I totally feel this when I take time off work. I typically take a week off in October for a family vacation and the days after that week off can be brutal.

@collin I was a bit surprised that they are so strict about the vaccine recommendation. I am assuming the risk of more severe infections increases with age, so you’re probably right.

@collin I had shingles around eight years ago. It was truly terrible. I think there is some belief that it will only affect the elderly, but I was just over thirty when I contracted it.

I feel this so much. It can be so overwhelming. Thank you for sharing.

@iChris Great post. I do not post nearly as often as I’d like, because I mostly think, “who wants to hear from me?” I’m not sure if I’ve ever had a “real life” friend mention my blog. As far as I’m aware, they are not aware of its existence. If I’m being honest, I’m not sure how I feel about that. With those things in mind, I’ve always thought of my blog as a public journal that no one reads except for me.
