Scroll-Reverser VS maestral

Normal mice support is deliberately broken in macOS (so that you consider buying their Magic Mouse), but can be easily fixed with a 3rd party app like Scroll Reverser.

Same for me, long time user of https://github.com/pilotmoon/Scroll-Reverser

The Scroll Reverser app lets you reverse scrolling for mice while keeping natural scrolling for touchpads.

Mouse: I believe this requires 3rd party app, if there is MacOS option for that please enlighten me, I have a Logitech mouse and Logitech software has settings for that but there are other, non-brand specific tools e.g. scroll-reverser (available in brew or here), which BTW can also change behavior of the trackpad if you want those options modified in one place.

Agree on the scroll direction thing (though scroll reverser exists)

The sheer fucking arrogance of them telling the consumer which direction they're allowed to scroll their device is why the only Apple product I own is the company-provided Mac which I installed https://github.com/pilotmoon/Scroll-Reverser on to let me use the way I want to use it.

Make sure to download only the official build from https://pilotmoon.com/scrollreverser/

maestral is an open source Mac/Linux client. Just one example, I’m sure there are others.

Worth mention the open source project Maestral: https://github.com/SamSchott/maestral

(an unofficial Dropbox client)

Sometime late last fall, my NAS rebooted and my ZFS pools didn't come back online automatically, but Docker did automatically restart the Maestral client. In so doing, it detected an empty folder...and...promptly deleted EVERYTHING in my Dropbox, assuming I'd just deleted everything locally. It's an issue that has had at least a few bug reports and which as of yet still hasn't been addressed - basically, the client needs but does not have a way to say "a bunch of stuff is changing, are you sure?" before doing it - especially on a restart of the client.

>- Debug apps which don't opt into debugging, using gdb/lldb, without disabling SIP. It's my computer, I should be root, I should be able to introspect how processes execute on it. Not being able to do so prevented me from debugging https://github.com/samschott/maestral/issues/597, since I had to disable SIP, which required rebooting, which stopped the bug from happening.

Another option is to re-sign the application with the entitlements necessary for debugging.

there is a native build as beta, but I found Maestral much better :) https://github.com/samschott/maestral

3) No support for extended file attributes (so you cannot sync .app bundles)

If you still haven't found a use for them: they make for good low-power, always-on, headless networked servers for processing-light tasks.

Other commentators mentioned pihole/DNS, WireGuard, and music streaming, but you can also use them for a (slow) NFS server, persistent Syncthing node, Maestral host[1] (third-party Dropbox client written in Python (that can actually run on the Raspberry Pi, unlike the official Dropbox client)), or device that maintains a connection to a distributed network (e.g. Hyporborea/cjdns).

I'd been reading up on Linux for the last little bit, learning about different distros and what things to look out for - so when this thing arrived I jumped onto the latest Fedora release & am really enjoying it. I've tweaked some Gnome extensions, gotten my favorite writing app downloaded, set up the awesome Maestral open-source Dropbox client, and set up a decent little undervolt using intel-undervolt, mprime, cinebench, and glmark2 :)
