Today I wanted to move existing APFS-resident macOS Catalina installation to a new disk. I upgraded my late 2014 Mac Mini with a shiny new 1TB SSD. This took way too many hours of my life I will never get back. Hope this saves some time to you.

Good news:

it is possible to create a DMG image from existing APFS container with macOS Catalina installation including metadata needed for complete restore (the DMG contains OS, OS Data, Preboot, Recovery and VM volumes)
it is possible to restore this DMG image into empty APFS container and get a bootable copy of the original system

This information is relevant for Catalina (I'm currently running macOS 10.15.1).

In order to debug hosts that have been code-signed with the hardened-runtime entitlement, you need to re-sign them. talaviram has made a nice shell script here: https://gist.github.com/talaviram/1f21e141a137744c89e81b58f73e23c3

REMOVE JAMF RESTRICTIONS ON MAC

REMOVE ONLY RESTRICTIONS

sudo jamf removeMDMProfile removes all restrictions

sudo jamf manage brings back all restrictions and profiles

REMOVE ALL RESTRICTIONS AND DISABLE JAMF BINARIES WHILE KEEPING YOUR ACCESS TO VPN AND OTHER SERVICES

sudo jamf removeMDMProfile removes all restrictions

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
