After riding a few hundred yards I suddenly realised I was extremely hungry so I came back for some nosh. Going back out now. It’s lovely. Am cycling in a t-shirt.
Last time I went out on the bike the low gears were making an unpleasant noise (had to stay in fifth on steep bits). I don’t yet have a stand to work on the derailleur and I can’t put it upside down because of things on the handlebars so I took it up the street and brought a screwdriver to make mobile adjustments. Pointless though because it had already miraculously fixed itself. Strange.
@peemee Cock-ups happen. All’s well that ends well. Being in hospital and in bed so much can’t be helping your mood. I hope you’re getting visitors.
Well the ‘drizzle for the next hour’ forecast turned out to be a bit of an underestimation. I could have done with wiper blades on my protective specs during my bike ride. It’s hard to see where you’re going when looking through 💦
@peemee I used CCC in the noughties but had a disaster with it (might have been human error). After that I used SuperDuper! happily for years but had some issues recently and considered ChronoSync because I'd always heard good things about it. I've been using that for a year or two and it's been great. Recently though, it was telling me a volume had 1.5TB of stuff on it when it only had 600MB, meaning it refused to back it up to a 1TB drive.
Today, after your comment I installed the CCC trial and it looks like it's filled-out over the years. First impression of the interface was so-so. Second impression was good because the way it reads and displays A.P.F.S. volumes and volume groups is good and the most accurate. And it's not making that mistake ChronoSync was making so it allowed me to do that backup I wanted. I've not got the legacy bootable bit working yet (it tried but gave errors). Will try again though…
SuperDuper! wasn't going to let me use my serial because the move to Apple Silicon meant certain changes to the app. But it was kind enough to advise me that I could switch the app to Rosetta mode and use my existing serial that way. I wonder if there'll be a performance hit.
