yep, I supply 2 search domains via DHCP option 119: .lan and .internal

guess I'll be migrating things 100% over to internal...

Interestingly, running `ifconfig` from a Zsh shell still does show MAC addresses

27.0.1 did not fix it, and I reproduced it on 2 more Macs, one was literally factory reset, just installed a fresh macOS 27, installed Homebrew, installed Bash5, ran ifconfig .... bug reproduced

Yes it works in my system bash too (see above) - seems to be some sort of obscure Bash bug...

It seems to only affect Bash 5.3.20 (Homebrew) - very odd:

    % /bin/bash --version
    GNU bash, version 3.2.57(1)-release (arm64-apple-darwin26)
    
    % /opt/homebrew/bin/bash --version
    GNU bash, version 5.3.20(1)-release (aarch64-apple-darwin27.0.0)
    
    % zsh -c '/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep ether'
    ether d0:11:e5:1a:27:7a
    
    % /bin/bash -c '/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep ether'
    ether d0:11:e5:1a:27:7a
    
    % /opt/homebrew/bin/bash -c '/sbin/ifconfig en0 | grep ether'
    ether 02:00:00:00:00:00

The peak that never stops peaking, apparently

I was a MacUpdater user and fan, and was sad when they announced it was being sunset. Have tried a few of the other "updater" apps, e.g. Latest, Updatest. Those didn't have nearly as wide coverage as MU and so for the last year or so I've been doing a bit of a dance bouncing between 2-3 different updater apps and some hand-rolled scripts to keep my Macs software current.

When Floodtide appeared, I signed on as a beta tester and tested it for a few weeks- it's now replaced all of those others. It's got a nice UI, and supports a lot of sources: Sparkle appcasts, Homebrew casks, GitHub releases, Electron feeds and its own signed catalog. Pretty customizable, can live in the menubar or work on-demand as a dock-only app (my preferred mode). You can also set up exclusions, choose beta/release channels, set the app to auto-update everything (if you want). Also has a nice automatic backup/rollback feature for safety in case an update goes sideways.

No affiliation- just wanted to put it out there to help support the dev who has been very friendly and responsive.

> better adapt quickly

maybe they can grow larger brains and an extra hand so they can hold 3 calculators at once?

Don't forget about those common areas too! I've seen many cases where hallways, elevators, and stairwells were included in the square footage numbers.

Thanks, and you can go ahead and ban all the regular advertising too while you're at it.

The "old" ChatGPT app is now called ChatGPT "Classic", and new features may be available only in the new app.

So the separate "Codex" app is being sunset. I'm not thrilled about this, since the new monolithic app is monstrous at close to 2GB, and takes longer to launch, and I can't easily see my chat history.
