Points of Interest

Posted on 2018-09-262018-09-28 by Mark Boszko

I’ve always been interested in the stories behind designs, and one particular point of interest is in the development of the original Apple Macintosh computer, well chronicled in the website Folklore.org, and eventually collected in the book Revolution in the Valley. Susan Kare, designer of the original Macintosh icons, says she based the design of…

The Future Tornadoes Want: Twister

Posted on 2018-07-262018-08-30 by Mark Boszko

When Jan de Bont released Twister in May of 1996, he probably thought he was being sneaky.

Installing a Let’s Encrypt Certificate on macOS Server

Posted on 2017-04-152017-05-02 by Mark Boszko

I have had a hell of a time finding a way to install a Let’s Encrypt certificate on macOS Server the Right Way™, due to how Server customizes the Apache config in weird and annoying ways. For the moment, I am going to use this way to “trick” certbot into issuing the cert to a…
