Using GPGMail with DarwinPorts version of gnupg 6 comments Create New Account

GitHub Gist: instantly share code, notes, and snippets. The install onto my Linux box file server was quite painless and I was instantly able to mount all my Linux volumes on my OS X desktop (works equally well on OS 9). Among other things, Netatalk allows OS X to keep the proper file types (with the ability to define custom file types) and I do not have to deal with invisible files from other file. Searching Google, it seems kerneltask is OS X's version of Windows's 'svchost.exe' - the notorious do-everything process that you can't ever truly debug, you have to just manually flip switches until one of them works. Is there any way I can more easily get to the bottom of the out-of-control kerneltask activity? Uninstall the DisplayLink drivers and restart the system. Right after restarting the system, reinstall the drivers. Don't restart again yet. Open System Preferences - Security and Privacy.

Hate to rain on your parade, but I don't feel that something covered in an application's FAQ should count as a hint. Last I checked, RTFM is considered part of the process, not some kind of special trick or tip

Thanks for bringing it up. I was thinking while reading the hint, since I had done something similar myself, 'why didn't I submit that same hint? Oh yeah, because it was kind of obvious.' And the fact that it's covered in the FAQ, as you pointed out, makes it even more of a reason it shouldn't be here.
It's important to point these things out when we see them, to ensure that the site remains as valuable as it has always been.

I'm glad to see the hint -- a FAQ is not the same as a manual unless it comes as part of the same document that contains the manual, IMO. Just pointing out that there IS a FAQ to check out [and, ideally, where it can be found] counts as a good tip.

Thanks for posting this hint. I had always wondered about PGP for Apple's mail but lacked time to do anything about it.
Once again, MacOSXHints has saved me some time and broadened my knowledge about what I can do with my Mac.
Now to find time to actually use it. :-)

You can use GPGPreferences to set the path and
pgp options.

Excuse me, but you can't change the path in GPGPreferences, (i thought ...)
But you can change all options (~/.gnupg/gpg.conf).
There is also GPGTools, GPGDropThing, GPGFileTools, GPGKeys applications.

Dark Mode is a dramatic new look that's easy on your eyes and helps you focus on your work. Dark Mode uses a dark color scheme that works system wide, including with the apps that come with your Mac. And third-party apps can adopt it, too.

Turn on Dark Mode

Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, click General, then select one of the Appearance options at the top of the window:

  • Light: Use the light appearance.
  • Dark: Use the dark appearance.
  • Auto: Automatically use the light appearance during the day, and the dark appearance at night.

How Dark Mode works with some apps and features

Some apps and features have special Dark Mode settings or behaviors.

Mail. To use a light background for email messages while Dark Mode is turned on, open Mail and choose Mail > Preferences, then click the Viewing tab and deselect “Use dark backgrounds for messages.”

Maps. To use a light background for maps while Dark Mode is turned on, open Maps and choose Maps > Preferences, then select ”Always use light map appearance.” In earlier versions of macOS, click View in the menu bar in Maps, then deselect Use Dark Map.

Notes. To use a light background for notes while Dark Mode is turned on, open Notes and choose Notes > Preferences, then deselect “Use dark backgrounds for note content.”

Out Of Control (greydavenport) Mac Os X

Safari. When you use Dark Mode, Safari automatically shows a website in Dark Mode if the website has been designed to support it. If the website doesn't support Dark Mode, you can use Safari Reader to read articles in Dark Mode.

TextEdit.To use a light background for documents while Dark Mode is turned on, click View in the menu bar in TextEdit, then deselect Use Dark Background for Windows. (Requires macOS Mojave 10.14.2 or later.)

Dynamic Desktop. If you turn on Dark Mode while using Dynamic Desktop, the desktop may change to the dark still image. You can change this setting in Desktop & Screen Saver preferences.
