How to Install a Simple, Independent SMTPD Server on Your macOS Computer As a web designer, have you been stymied by your inability to get sendmail/postfix working on more recent versions of macOS? If so, maybe you need to take a different route. This step-by-step tutorial will help you install an SMTPD server on your machine, which is independent of macOS’s built-in sendmail and postfix binaries.

HOW TO DOWNLOAD DIRECTLY FROM CHINESE STREAMING SITES  (macOS tutorial; but the GitHub also works for PC) — downloads video files directly from chinese streaming sites (assuming you have access already to the video either via subscription or the video is free on that site). 

works for: iQiYi, Tenecent (WeTV), Mango TV, billibili

does not work for: Youku

Using webvideo-downloader by jaysonlong on GitHub. (I would recommend opening and doing all the downloads/execution in chrome)

Download the zip file from the green “code” button at the top right of the screen.

Scroll down the the “installation” section on GitHub. Download the three different programs needed to execute the steps for downloading the video: python, FFmpeg (you can dl from the official site which is linked on the github, another option is to dl with macports), and the browser extension violentmonkey/tampermonkey (make sure you’re on chrome/firefox). Update: tampermonkey may not work anymore so I would recommend using violentmonkey.

Under Project Installation simply click the links to download WebVideoDownloader +/- CommonHlsDownloader (you MUST DO THIS ON CHROME/FIREFOX—whichever you downloaded the browser extension on)

You will then need to install PIP. To do that I used these two tutorials. (1, 2) Basically you’ll want to open terminal and follow the following installation steps (this is from the second tut linked)

5. Now under “install python dependancies” you will want to navigate to the zip folder you downloaded in the first step. In the folder you will see a folder named “downloader” Right click on that folder and select “New Terminal at Folder” which should launch the terminal again. Type/paste: pip install -r requirements.txt then hit “enter” It should take a couple seconds for the installation to complete. You can now close the terminal.

(side note, if you have PC and are stuck on the python dependancies part @wahgifs and @coldties​ walk through it here.)

6. Next navigate to the zip folder once again and open the “downloader” folder. You should see a file named “daemon.py” Right click and select “open with” > “python launcher”. (ALTERNATIVELY) if that doesn’t work try simply typing python daemon.py into terminal and hitting enter. The terminal should launch and at the bottom-most line should read “listening on port (insert #) for clients....

7. Once that is done just follow the rest of the steps on GitHub! If you navigate to that bilibili link you should be able to download as seen in the GIF on GitHub. You will be able to tell if the download is working if you go back to the terminal window and see the script working. 

8. You will find your video in the zip folder in a new folder named “videos”

i want to install neovim on my laptop (macos) cause i have it on termux but this shit is like pulling teeth dear god just give me linux simplicity. i would just use brew install but that would take literally several hours to install all the dependencies and i can't be fucked. i dont think i could ever get macports working. idk how to use it properly when its in the self contained folder thingy. like theres probably workarounds to this but im just tired.

"Common Causes and Solutions for the 'sudo: port: command not found' Error"

Encountering the "sudo: port: command not found" error can be frustrating, especially when you're trying to install or manage packages on macOS using the MacPorts package management system. This error indicates that the 'port' command, which is an essential component of MacPorts, is not recognized or accessible. In this blog, we will explore the common causes behind this error and provide effective solutions to resolve it.

One of the primary reasons for the "sudo: port: command not found" error is an outdated MacPorts installation. Over time, new versions of MacPorts are released with updates and bug fixes. If you're using an outdated version, it might result in compatibility issues, leading to the error. To resolve this, ensure you have the latest version of MacPorts installed on your system.

Incomplete or incorrect installation of MacPorts can also trigger the "sudo: port: command not found" error. It's crucial to follow the installation instructions carefully and verify that the installation process completes successfully. Additionally, double-check the PATH variable configuration to ensure it includes the necessary MacPorts directories.

The PATH variable is an environment variable that contains a list of directories where the system looks for executables when executing commands. If the PATH variable is misconfigured or does not include the path to the MacPorts binaries, the 'port' command won't be recognized. To fix this, update the PATH variable to include the correct MacPorts directory.

Sometimes, the "sudo: port: command not found" error occurs due to shell initialization problems. If the shell initialization files (such as .bash_profile or .bashrc) are incorrectly configured or not sourcing the necessary MacPorts initialization script, it can lead to the error. Review and modify the shell initialization files to ensure the MacPorts initialization script is properly sourced.

Permission problems can also contribute to the "sudo: port: command not found" error. Ensure that you have the necessary administrative privileges to execute the 'port' command using sudo. If you're encountering permission issues, consider using the 'sudo -E' option, which preserves the user environment variables.

Encountering the "sudo: port: command not found" error when working with MacPorts can be frustrating, but with the right understanding and solutions, you can overcome it. In this blog post, we discussed the common causes behind this error, including outdated or incomplete installations, PATH variable misconfiguration, shell initialization problems, and permission issues. By following the suggested solutions, you can resolve the error and continue using MacPorts seamlessly.

At GetThatTech, we understand the importance of addressing and resolving software errors like the "sudo: port: command not found" issue. Our blog aims to provide valuable insights and solutions to help users overcome this error and make the most of their MacPorts installation.

How do I use brew installed Python as the default Python?

I try to switch to Homebrew (after using fink and macport) on Mac OS X 10.6.2. I have installed python 2.7 with

brew install python

The problem is that, contrary to Macport, it seems that there is no python_select utility, and my default mac python is always default

which python

give me

/usr/bin/python

and /usr/bin/python is not a symlink

How can I do to make python brew flavour to be my default python ?

everytime i think yeah okay maybe this unit will be okay i have been bumping into little roadblocks. had to make a git account. they want me to add the student benefits okay. first they can't access my location and firefox didn't tell me that it was bcos i needed to give it permission in my computer's settings. then i have to upload proof that i'm a student. but i can't just upload a file no they want a photo and i don't have a student id bcos i never applied to have one sent to me so i have to take a photo of my academic record on the computer with my front facing camera on my phone bcos it wouldn't work with the back one??? and now that i have the account i have to actually install git on my computer. only my computer is old so will it work??? like it's not an issue with like my hardware but i'm on osx 10.15 and cannot upgrade any higher and homebrew was like no! no git for you! so now i'm waiting for macports (?) to install and who knows if it will work any better through that. like i do not want to have to buy a whole new computer for this i only have 4 months left!!!!!

I tried macports but after installing I can't find it anywhere on my computer? I tried again and it didn't say there was a redundancy. Where'd it go? I'm worried that's suspicious, or maybe the installation just failed for some reason but it returned it as successful

First wine stopped working and now playonmac? :(. It wouldn't open so I redownloaded and then got past the malware blocked and it still won't open :(

Yak-Shaving für Astronomen

Als Yak-Shaving bezeichnet man iterative Prozesse, bei denen man, um ein Problem zu lösen, immer erst ein anderes Problem vorher lösen muss, das wiederum die Lösung von noch einem anderen Problem erfordert, und so weiter. Mein Ausgangsproblem: Ich habe ein Bild aus einem Teleskop und will einen Katalog der Sterne in diesem Bild machen. Dafür gibt es eine Reihe von vorgefertigten Programmen, ich muss das nicht selbst programmieren. Eines der gebräuchlichsten heißt “SExtractor”, kurz für “Source Extractor”, und, ja, der Scherz war vermutlich mal für drei Minuten lustig, damals, als SExtractor das Licht der Welt erblickte, also circa im Jahr 2000. Ich habe genau dieses Programm schon damals verwendet, es war mit Abstand am einfachsten und schnellsten für diese Aufgabe. 

Aber damals hatte ich auch noch einen Linux-Computer, der von einem IT-Experten gewartet wurde. Die Software-Installation beschränkte sich für mich darauf, eine Email an diesen Experten zu schicken. So war es auch 2005, als ich meinen ersten richtigen Job antrat, und auch 2007, beim zweiten: Ich bestellte beim Arbeitgeber einen neuen Rechner, und sagte gleich dazu, welche Software ich benötige, fertig. Diese Zeiten sind vorbei, heute sind wir alle System-Administratoren und Software-Yak-Shaver. Astronomie machen wir auch noch.

Mittlerweile ist SExtractor in der Version 2.19.5, und existiert nur als Quellcode, wie so oft bei Spezialsoftware für Astronomen. Man kann es aber einfach auf jedem Rechner kompilieren, der Linux-kompatibel ist, also theoretisch auch auf Macs, solange alle nötigen Libraries schon da sind. Sind sie natürlich bei mir nicht. Diese “Dependencies”, also Software, die andere Software voraussetzt, die wieder andere Software voraussetzt, die Versoftwarung von Yak-Shaving, sind ein generelles Problem unseres Software-Ökosystems, und jeden Tag huldige ich Programmen, die einfach so laufen. Topcat! DS9! Seid umarmt. Zum Glück gibt es zum Management dieser Dependencies wieder andere Software. Ich erfahre von Macports, das nach der Installation auch beinahe sofort läuft, und Macports weiß schon, wie man SExtractor installiert. Eine Weile geht alles gut.

Dann teilt mir Macports mit, das es noch eine vollständige Installation von XCode benötigt. XCode gibt es beim Apple Store, und es dauert auch nur eine Viertelstunde, bis ich dort Zugriff habe – der Account zeigt auf eine uralte Emailaddresse, und die Sicherheitsfragen sind verwirrend. Mein erster Lehrer? Wer sollte das gewesen sein? Dann finde ich heraus, dass die angebotene Version von XCode nur auf einem Betriebssystem läuft, das ein paar Versionen jünger ist als meines. Jetzt gibt es zwei Möglichkeiten: Entweder das Betriebssystem auf den neuesten Stand bringen, was zur Folge haben wird, das diverse andere Software auch neu installiert werden muss, und eventuell nicht mehr geht. Oder einen Developer-Account kaufen, und damit Zugriff auf alte XCode-Versionen zu haben. Beides rote Linien in meiner Yak-Shaving-Philosophie.

Oder aber das ursprüngliche Problem mit einer ganz anderen Software lösen. Oder es überhaupt nicht lösen, ein viel zu selten benutzter Problembewältigungsansatz.
