Writing and things

TIL 2025.4.15

Today I learned

  • That I was messing things up with a tool called Macup. I was using it to back up my preferences for a few applications to my iCloud folder. Yeah, that’s a small to medium sized “don’t do that” for you.
    • It sounds like a good idea, but it’s also redundant since I use Carbon Copy Cloner to back up my full hard drive to a local SSD.
    • The unexpected results include: Applications not seeing registrations. Applications showing the “What’s New” dialog at every launch.
    • It also messed up my git configuration.
  • So that’s a fun mess to untangle.
  • Also fun? It was causing my Obsidian tool problems with publishing my notes. SO one tool caused a LOT of issues!
