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.

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.

2024 was so painful, but looking back I’m quite glad it happened.

The spam volume I receive from Dun & Bradstreet is astonishing.

Congrats everyone on shipping!

After hearing from Casey Liss so many times, finally installed our first Lutron smart switch in their Caseta system.

The setup is quite smooth and it just showed up in HomeKit. Can recommend!

Also, I wasn’t shocked replacing a switch. Phew.

I got a Lingo Glucose Biosensor and just applied it on my arm.

Surprised that I didn’t feel a thing since the needle is longer than tiny?

Will report back my next 14-day journey!

I can now be installed with pip install y2.

Happy to be tool called by agents.

Peace.

My bank: You just got paid! $5,000.00 is now in your account.

Me: No. That was just me transferring my own $5,000.00 from another bank to you.

My pet peeve: Airbnb houses not providing an electric kettle or a rice cooker. So I always leave a private note to the host.
