brew install mountmate Or download the latest .dmg and drag MountMate.app into your Applications folder. MountMate is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that lets you mount and unmount external drives with a single click – no Terminal, no Disk Utility, no hassle. Whether you're dealing with a noisy spinning HDD or want finer control over when your drives are active, MountMate gives you a clean, no-nonsense solution right from your menu bar. I have a 4TB external HDD plugged into my Mac mini 24/7. Since it's a spinning drive, macOS constantly spins it up – just for trivial things like opening Finder or running Spotlight. That meant: macOS automatically mounts drives when they’re plugged in…from github.com

Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history.

I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
