I broke the laptop somehow, it's in an infinite loop of uselessness…. and such is today’s "work”. lol

Another cracking post from Jamf "Tech Thoughts" blog:
https://community.jamf.com/t5/tech-thoughts/revolutionizing-patch-management-with-installomator/ba-p/350112 (Revolutionizing Patch Management with Installomator)
Not a rehash of mine from 2022, at all: https://irritatedsysadmin.substack.com/p/how-we-use-installomator-to-automatically (How we use Installomator to Automatically Manage Application Upgrades)
Did my blog used to be called Tech Talk, why yes, yes it did. After Jamf started Tech Thoughts, I decided to have a bit of a name change.
Am I just being a moody git today? Yes. Yes, I am.
Fiddling around with jamfnow and crowdstrike. Is there any way to install falcon automatically? Maybe via profiles? I tried to find one, but the crowdstrike docs seem to be incomplete.
Could anyone push me in the right direction?
I heard first thing this morning about Charles Edge's passing. As I was relaying the news to one of our former co-workers at 318, I saw this pic I’d sent from last year's MacAdmins Conference at Penn State.
I'm gonna miss seeing him at conferences, hearing him on the Mac Admins Podcast, and hearing about his next big project.

I just had a pretty major breakthrough at work this afternoon. If I'm right, I should be able to expand this to *all* of our printers across campus so that everybody will finally be able to install their own printers the right way, the first time. #Jamf #SelfService #FingersCrossed
Another example of the same kind of #TTP was covered earlier today at #OBTS by the #Jamf threat research folks. The #RustBucket dropper, disguised as a custom "protected PDF reader" app, includes social engineering-flavored instructions on how to run the app: right-click to open. The attacker's story is that the app is so custom and secure it is unable to live on the #AppStore. Or to be notarized apparently, which triggers the #Gatekeeper warning thus necessitating the override instructions
Another example in the "pros" column for managing your users' ability to be tricked by this malicious actor tactic. `DisableOverride=True`, all day long.

Ever since installing Jamf on my MacBook Pro, I’ve been having a bunch of weird issues with random freezes and network connectivity issues and programs taking too long to load. This weekend, I’ve had Finder crash several times, and it wouldn’t restart. The system error reporting dialog mentions “watchdogd kernel panic.”
This is several years old, but a lot of it sounds like what I’m experiencing: https://sigpipe.macromates.com/2020/macos-catalina-slow-by-design/
Day 2 of the Penn State MacAdmins Conference has wound down. What I've missed so much about conferences is seeing people in person.
A popular destination is the Penn State Berkey Creamery for fresh ice cream. We stopped in for scoops after dinner. https://creamery.psu.edu
Then a few of us decided to walk the three miles back to the hotel bar. What do you call a bunch of IT folks having a good time? I like to call it "social engineering”.
dataJar is joining Jamf! I did not see that one coming. I will be looking forward to working with them! https://www.jamf.com/resources/press-releases/jamf-announces-its-acquisition-of-dataJAR/ #jamf #MacAdmins
