I have had reports from my colleagues that some ruby build or something is much faster when using a ubuntu virtual machine on their M3 MacOS laptops. I don't remember the numbers but it was upto 5x faster in the VM

Adding a folder to the Time Machine exclusion unfortunately does not exclude it from the local snapshots, it only removes it from the copy it does to the TimeMachine destination volume.

From https://eclecticlight.co/2025/10/02/why-did-that-macos-upgra...

> Backup utilities including Time Machine normally make a snapshot with each backup, and retain them for 24 hours, following which they’re automatically deleted. As snapshots can’t exclude folders in the way that Time Machine can in its backups, if you’ve been working with a couple of 100 GB VMs then they will be retained in snapshots even though you probably exclude them from being backed up.

I have had good experience with Arq backup 7

When I just try to run tailscale and forticlient together naively, tailscale does not like it very much heh. Looks like I'll need to study what your image is doing in depth

Sounds like I'll need to learn how to setup custom routes and it's syntax. I have tried to run away from it all my professional life but maybe now I need to.

> However, you would most likely need to NAT on the machine running the Fortinet client.

Could you please elaborate a little more here? NAT from where to where?

On a linux box, is it possible to run tailscale/wireguard as an exit node along with Forti vpn?

Aka what I want to achieve is (my-machine + tail/wireguard) --> (server with tailscale/wireguard + forti vpn) --> Corporate network. So wireguard or tailscale to receive traffic and forward it through forti.

Or another option (my machine fortivpn over tail/wireguard) --> (server as exit node) --> corporate network

Rather than using the official forticlient I am using https://github.com/adrienverge/openfortivpn. It has some options to configure custom pppd/routes/dns etc if necessary, which I have not touched as I don't know enough :P DNS resolution is not important for my usecase, only traffic.

Reverse for me. I daily drive an Android and a iPhone. Using AdGuard on both for devices for device level ad blocking. The quality of getting ads blocked on android is super high while it's medium to low on ios when using chrome.
