Somehow my fastlane upload pipeline stopped working, due to shadowing the system rsync binary.
I would have never guessed this root cause.
Historically it would take me hours of debugging and head banging, but Opus 4.5 just did it under one minute by itself.
Found it! You have a Homebrew rsync (3.4.1) that's being used instead of Apple's built-in openrsync:
- which rsync → /Users/mango/tools/brew/bin/rsync (Homebrew 3.4.1)
- /usr/bin/rsync → Apple's openrsync (protocol 29)
Xcode's export process is mixing these two incompatible versions, causing the "syntax or usage error" when they try to communicate.
Sequoia National Park
In the afternoon before our spontaneous road trip to Sequoia National Park, I discovered a bulge on the front right tire. I immediately called my repair shop Menlo Atherton Auto Repair, and thanks to Anthony, we were able to depart before noon the next day. We stayed for two nights in Three Rivers, close to the south entrance.
The view at our AirBnb in Three Rivers
The first 20 miles entering the park are steep with numerous switchbacks. I drove much more slowly, but with frequent turnouts along the road, it was a pleasantly relaxing experience.
Landscapes in the Sequoia National Park
Snow appeared once we entered the Giant Forest. On a holiday during winter, the parking space near General Sherman are accessible spots only. So we took the shuttle service instead. It ran quite frequently. On the way back to Three Rivers, we saw a spectacular sunset.

2025 has been the weirdest year so far, and 2026 is going to be weirder.
I’m not prepared for this. But 2025 has truly taught me preparedness is overrated.
When there is a high mountain in front of you, just climb on with your heart. And I’m more ready than ever to continue climbing.
∞ Mango Baby Won Upgradies 2025 Best iOS App
Thank you Myke Hurley and Jason Snell for awarding Mango Baby the Best iOS App of 2025 🤯
Being an Upgrade listener for 11 years+, I can't express how honored I feel right now. Mango Baby was made from my heart when I was a new parent. And reading the overwhelmingly positive messages from my users, including Myke(!), has kept me going with this app. Thank you. ❤️
2024 was so painful, but looking back I’m quite glad it happened.
The spam volume I receive from Dun & Bradstreet is astonishing.
