I’ve been going back and forth with Apple about some of the issues I previously found using the macOS Catalina Kerberos SSO over Per-App VPN. As it turns out, they acknowledged some of the issues I was seeing and are supposedly working on a fix. I’ve been watching the past few beta releases for macOS, and I’ve not yet seen anything in the release notes to indicate they’ve implemented any fixes. [Read More]

Background Last year, my wife introduced me to an entirely foreign-to-me concept of journaling known as Bullet Journaling. For those of you uninitiated, think of bullet journaling as an extensible planner with a heavy focus on the index to help bring order to chaos.

Bullet Journaling was born of a need to bring all the ideas/tasks/events plaguing us in the digital age and put them to paper in a single place. [Read More]

I had a few folks recently approach me on the MacAdmins slack asking for help with deploying Microsoft Defender ATP for Mac.

Conflicting Documentation The initial problem I found was some confusion generated by Microsoft’s documentation. [Read More]

Working at VMware, I’m surrounded by great technology and super-smart folks! In our portfolio of technologies, the folks in our R&D have recently been putting quite a bit of effort into building out macOS capabilities for our Workspace ONE Tunnel client for macOS. Workspace ONE admins can leverage the same VMware technology they used to enable per-app VPN for iOS and Android, but now on macOS! There’s a bit of nuance to configuring the VPN client if you’re previously familiar with iOS (look for my Operational Tutorial soon to hit TechZone). [Read More]

Welcome to my wholly reworked website! This time, I’ve dropped the complexity of Wordpress and opted for something significantly simpler: Jekyll Hugo and GitHub. Having now hosted the site in GitHub Pages, here was the process I started with Hugo: Created the Github Pages repo (rterakedis.github.io) – this is where github pages looks for the blog’s generated site files. Created a 2nd Github repo: rterakedis.github.io.hugo – this repo holds the source files for Hugo to parse and generate the site. [Read More]
