If you prefer to call an API, you may need to explore alternative options or consider writing shell commands to parse the returned textual values. Good luck with your project! Drive Mad 2

I store research data (Obsidian/Dendron markdown vaults and DEVONthink Databases) there, the last 12 months of photos and videos snaptik MailMate.app's Messages folder in an encrypted dataset, and also VMware Fusion volumes. I am on Monterey on that workstation and am using:

- zfs-macOS-2.1.0-1
- zfs-kmod-2.1.0-1

I haven't investigated updating ZFS or macOS yet, but it's that time of year.

I also had a similar experience. It works very stable.

This is considered a positive evaluation.

After a week serving as moderator, here is the report: 27 spamming users banned, and dozens of their useless posts deleted (I didn't count them, but most spammers had around 2 or 3 posts). The assault on the forum goes all the way back to February 2023, when bandagepeas showed up.

Thanks for your work, the AI spam is very annoying and I've reported a bunch of posts over the last year.

Yes, I saw and acted on your reports (they show up in the moderation panel). But there were SO MANY other spam posts, too; I finally just sorted the member list by join date and methodically went through every member who joined in the last year. That pretty much flushed them all out. Anyway, going forward please do hit the report button when you see anything fishy, and I will investigate, delete, ban as appropriate.
