Notarization for macOS

Notarization and Gatekeeper

From the support document entitled “Safely open apps on your Mac”:

macOS includes a technology called Gatekeeper, that's designed to ensure that only trusted software runs on your Mac.

If you download and install apps from the internet or directly from a developer, macOS continues to protect your Mac. When you install Mac apps, plug-ins, and installer packages from outside the App Store, macOS checks the Developer ID signature to verify that the software is from an identified developer and that it has not been altered. By default, macOS Catalina also requires software to be notarized, so you can be confident that the software you run on your Mac doesn't contain known malware. Before opening downloaded software for the first time, macOS requests your approval to make sure you aren’t misled into running software you didn’t expect.

Monday Morning Mindset

If you want to be AVERAGE, you have many choices. If you want to be GOOD, you have few choices. Want to be great? You have no choice. You have to put in the work.

Leading YOURSELF is more important than leading OTHERS. If you lead yourself well, others will benefit from your direction & discipline.

Self-leadership is a mindset. Challenge yourself this week to show great self-leadership.

Migrate from macOS Intel → Apple Silicon

Just some notes for when I have to do this again. Not a full migration guide.

If you're reinstalling on a fresh profile, this isn't necessary. But Migration Assistant will copy over all of your Intel-compiled Homebrew settings and binaries like a dumb-ass. (I know it's not Apple's fault, but it's still frustrating.)

I Like Monkeys

The pet store was selling them for five cents a pieace. I thought this was odd since they were normally a couple thousand. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth so I bought 200 of them. I like monkeys.

I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one of drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in the genitals. I laughed. They punched me in the genitals.

I stopped laughing.

I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech and hurl themselves off the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into it's third hour.

Dumping games with Godmode9

Dumping games is the act of taking a game from your system or gamecart and copying it into a readable format onto your SD card. Dumping is perfectly legal if you keep the dumps to yourself, however sharing these dumps is piracy and is illegal.

This guide will tell you how to dump games from various formats and for various purposes. Dumping 3DS cartriges as .cia files is good if you want to install them to your system. Dumping them as .3ds files is good for emulators. Installed titles cannot be dumped as .3ds files. NDS cartiges can only be dumped as .nds files and cannot be installed (however, you can play them with emulators or flashcarts).

Dumping the RomFS of a game is primarily for romhacking purposess.
