It does not stream in content, but I would guess the API might support that some day.

Hey all! This is something we've been working on for a while now. It's the future of native cloud storage on macOS. I run ExpanDrive (www.expandrive.com). We use a derivative of ma…

It remains the case even if you’re only a few ms away.

As a developer that supports B2 (I write ExpanDrive) I think it’s great that they are moving on from an API that doesn’t expose any extra value. That being said, I wish B2 performa…

I think the APFS snapshot integration is easily the coolest part of Arq 6. Arq now has access to a special Apple entitlement to take full-desk point-in-time snapshots of an APFS co…

For the most part, I'd just be using macOS WindowServer. Which isn't very helpful. That's part of what is driving the question about whether one big monitor is ultimately better.

We're all stuck at home now and probably thinking a bit more about how to upgrade and optimize the home office. I have an old 27" QHD display which developed a column of dead pixel…

I’ve been playing with the beta of Infra, which serves a similar purpose. Also with checking out https://www.infra.app/

They have access to a kernel module and entitlement that only they have access to, com.apple.fileutil - and Apple has said they aren't giving out any more entitlements for it.

Fine how?

Curious if anyone knows what Dropbox will do about SmartSync. KAuth extensions are likely out as of 10.16, and the Endpoint Security extensions don’t let you block a reply for more…

That’s not accurate.

They currently offer no replacement for VFS. But I bet they will offer something fuse-like if they offer anything at all. Also: the file provider api they use for iCloud Drive that…

I have no inside information but assuming they continue to expose the VFS layer they will very likely build a usermode extension framework that is quite like FUSE, but supported by…

I think this is fairly overblown, there are a fair number of FUSE for macOS forks out there with signing certificates. I have kext signing certificate for ExpanDrive, Google has on…

ExpanDrive [which I maintain], has a certificate to sign our fork of FUSE

Fairly sure this is not true, unless you have a source. Drew did all the client side work in python/librsync to get going.
