MacOS tips
- mp4 conversion to macos compatible one.
- cmd.com on windows: mkdir converted & for %i in (*.mp4) do ffmpeg -i "%i" -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 192k ".\converted\%i"
- OpenShot MP4 files may fail to play on macOS because they often use video or audio codecs that native Apple apps like QuickTime do not support.
- Strict Apple Standards: QuickTime Player only natively accepts specific profiles of H.264 or MPEG-4 video combined with AAC audio.
- $ ln -s /Users /home now allowed.
- % sudo nano /etc/synthetic.conf
- home Users # Use tab not space for the separator.
- reboot
- mount EFI:
$diskutil list # find the EFI partition.
$sudo diskutil mount disk0s1 # disk0s1 is the partition found by the command above.
- disable sleep:
$sudo pmset -a disablesleep 1 # to disable sleep
$sudo pmset -a disablesleep 0 # to enable sleep again.
- register ssh-key in the keychain, so that you don't need to enter passphrase for id_rsa
$ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
$ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/svn_key
- svn locale related issue: complaining UTF-8
$ env |grep LC_CTYPE
$ LC_CTYPE=C
$ export LC_CYPTE
