Apple: SSH and FileVault

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-21 23:15:45

When FileVault is enabled, the data volume is locked and unavailable during and after booting, until an account has been authenticated using a password. The macOS version of OpenSSH stores all of its configuration files, both system-wide and per-account, in the data volume. Therefore, the usually configured authentication methods and shell access are not available during this time. However, when Remote Login is enabled, it is possible to perform password authentication using SSH even in this sit

This article explains how, with examples from the log of a Mac mini M4 Pro.

The Qweremin

The Qweremin I invented a new instrument: The Qweremin is a qwerty theremin. Background In the summer of 2022 I built a C64-based theremin, described and explained here. The theremin, of course, is one of the oldest electronic instruments. Its main drawback—and strength—is that it's incredibly hard to master. The performer has ultimate control over volume and pitch, but it takes months of practice before you can play even a simple scale. Meanwhile, I've also developed a line of instruments f

How to turn off headphone volume limit warnings on iPhone and iPad

Hearing health is incredibly important, and gentle reminders from Apple to keep that in mind can be helpful. However, if you’re just tired of seeing headphone volume limit warnings, there’s actually a way to turn those off. iOS and iPadOS track headphone audio exposure over a rolling seven-day period.
