I installed a NextDNS profile for native DNS encryption and protection, but Google Chrome appears to not use this profile. ![]() The only one odd incompatibility I’ve discovered is with encrypted DNS. But everything I’ve tried appears to work without any issue. I’ve heard reports that Descript, a podcast editing tool, doesn’t work. Google’s “Backup and Sync” appears to have some display issues. I’ve not seen very much that doesn’t work. Installing from a slow USB key probably didn’t help it much. The installation took about an hour, all told. Yes, Dropbox was hacked once (in 2012, but discovered in 2016) Google Drive has never been hacked, yet, and with both you can encrypt further if you want.ĭropbox - here’s 500GB of extra space if you don’t yet use it - is much more polished than Google Drive’s consumer version, though read on about that. Running everything from a cloud drive is really the only way to go these days, and I don’t quite understand why some people are keen to retain all their work/memories on a piece of silicon that can easily break, go wrong, or be stolen. I discovered the Hugo files for my new personal website were languishing in my home folder, and also found one mysterious keypair: but those were the only things I needed to actually back up. Because of that, virtually everything I do on this machine is already backed-up. From a very basic point of view, I will replace hardware if it can’t run a supported version of the OS any more and will update as soon as it sounds safe to do so. I’m keen to run the latest builds of things, since I suspect that the security is better. This machine dates from 2016, and I suspected that after four different versions of OSX it was time to have a clearout. What could possibly go wrong?Īfter checking whether the two daily-drivers that I use were fully compatible with the new MacOS release of Big Sur, I followed some rather arcane instructions to produce a USB install key for Big Sur, wiped my hard drive, and started afresh. I take the plunge and reinstall Mac OS on day one of a new release. ![]()
