How Virtualisation came to Apple Silicon Macs
No need to keep Mojave to run iTunes — iTunes can be run on newer macOS, by using Retroactive [1] to patch it.
Regarding running a newer macOS on older hardware, check out OCLP [1] — do make sure you make full backups and have a working recovery plan before trying anything with OCLP though. I know that might sound somewhat obvious to a lot of folk, but you'd be surprised at the amount of folk that jump in and try OCLP on their main system without any backup plan.
Note that are some gotchas re installing OCLP on some older h/w, and it will help to read up on possible issues before wading in. e.g. during installation it might be necessary to use a wired keyboard and mouse, via a USB hub, until the installation is done, you might also need a wired network connection during install, similarly. Depends on h/w (I've not patched MacBooks myself, yet). Once the patcher is done, these should not be needed anymore.
Official support for OCLP is only via Discord — but there is a very active unofficial peer/user support group on FB [3]
HTH!

What vintage mac to buy for iPods?
That said, my 2020 Mac Mini M1 also works great with the USB iPods - I used an app called Retroactive to get iTunes 11.4, which works fabulously to load my iPods. Can't say how well it works with the Firewire iPods, as I don't have all the requisite Thunderbolt adapters to make it work.

3,1 need OSX10.15, any reason to go higher if able, or stay with 10.15 for better compatibility?Big changes from 10.14?
There's a project called Retroactive https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/ that lets you install iTunes 10-12 on Catalina and newer OS. You could do that and still keep your playlists, etc.
- Asking for Itunes back is too much but COME ON, 'music' is absolutely terrible cross the board BIG SUR
- Music on Mac keeps duplicating local playlists even after deleting individually

Follow-up on sessions vs catalogs
you can run Aperture on newer Macs https://github.com/cormiertyshawn895/Retroactive/ just in case you want to check.

Ask HN: Tips to get started on my own server
If you use a Mac and just want to mess around with linux try something like Orbstack(https://orbstack.dev/) to start up VMs and mess around. The benefit of this is you're going to break things a bunch as you get started. Going from there I'd start looking automating the deployment of the various components the 'old fashioned' way aka writing shell scripts/using SSH. Once you do that then go to using things like Ansible or Terraform etc.

Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2024)
OrbStack | Founding Engineer | US/Europe REMOTE | Full-time | https://orbstack.dev
OrbStack is making Docker containers & development environments delightful. Our app replaces Docker Desktop and makes containers faster, lighter, and easier to work with. It's the tool of choice for PlanetScale, Replicate, and other hot companies.
Containers should be a joy to use, not something you have to put up with. Let's build the future of dev envs.
As a founding engineer, you'll mainly work on breaking high-level ideas down into tough systems problems, solving them, and taking ownership of projects. If https://cpu.land and https://docs.orbstack.dev/architecture excite you, you'll be right in place.

How Virtualisation came to Apple Silicon Macs
Before you give up, give OrbStack a try: https://orbstack.dev/
It’s significantly faster than Docker and some users in the Discord community have been able to use it to run hand-built Linux x86 VMs on Apple Silicon.
It’s a paid product though, but you can download it for free and try it out before paying.

Podman Desktop v1.5 with Compose onboarding and enhanced Kubernetes pod data
For MacOS I can really recommend https://orbstack.dev
It integrates very nicely, has very low CPU idle usage and also lets you quickly spawn VMs with bidirectional file sharing set up.
Since I switched I haven't looked back.
