Just upgraded my 11-year-old MacBookPro to a maintained macOS version, Sonoma (14). 🆙
So far, so good! 😅

I like the idea so I tried to apply these steps.
It seems that a image with a transparent background would be better. 😇

On my #macOS laptop, #MacPorts doesn’t seem ready to patch the recent #Git #vulnerabilities, unlike #Homebrew. 🔓/🤓

A terminal screenshot showing: - a web page extract about recent Git vulnerabilities fixed in Git 2.50.1 - a command showing that Homebrew can apply the fix - another command showing that MacPorts cannot apply it, for now

Updated my remote work setup: I now have a 34-inch curved ultrawide monitor! 🖥
Loving the single big screen over two 24-inch ones. 😎
I hope to get used to the curve. 😅
