    Today is my last day with @smartosorg and @triton_dc . I will still be in greater - #illumos . Also both #smartos and #triton developers and users are quite a good community!

    Time for my occasional reminder that the #illumos ptools are amazing and highly productivity enhancing. On my MacOS workstation this is a common work flow: ssh $ILLUMOS &#39;pwait `pgrep something`&#39; ; say {-a other-speaker} SOMETHING IS DONE Can work on other things until I hear shouting.

    THANK YOU 2FA! My Apple devices pinged me to &amp;quot;reset my Apple Account Password&amp;quot;. I refused. I&amp;#39;d LIKE to know what events (and what IP, etc.) triggered that Apple Account Password reset. Any ideas on how to diagnose how far someone got? Is it just knowing my email, or more?
