My MacBook is basically unusable right now. This appears to be the reason. Is there any way to fix it without installing little snitch? Edit: working as usual

My MacBook is basically unusable right now. This appears to be the reason. Is there any way to fix it without installing little snitch?
Edit: working as usual now, moments after i wrote this. But seriously Apple, how can you allow this to happen? Your services hanging should _never_ prevent my device from running things locally. This is seriously making me reconsider my next computer purchase.
- pwinnski 6y agoApparently you can set ocsp.apple.com to 127.0.0.1 in your /etc/hosts This is really terrible, but at least the workaround is simple.
- tlunter 6y agoAdd the `127.0.0.1 ocsp.apple.com` line to your /etc/hosts file.
- jonheller 6y agoThank you, this fixed it for me. (What a mess!)
- FanaHOVA 6y agoTurn off your internet, open the app, turn it back on.
- nixpulvis 6y agoI'm laughing so hard at this right now. And people somehow still love their macs...
- dwaltrip 6y agoBecause Windows is so much better?
- loeg 6y agoIt doesn't have this particular failure mode, at least.
- valuearb 6y agoBoth Linux and Windows perform similar checks.
- loeg 6y agoI'm sure Linux (the kernel) does not. I don't know of any Linux distro that does, but, I'd be curious if you can point to specifics. If you could point to any documentation of Windows performing app-start OCSP checks, I'd love to learn more (and recant my earlier statement).
- vcxy 6y agoI assure you my Linux machines do not.
- Rebelgecko 6y agoThat's a rather extraordinary claim. It's really setting off my BS meter- Can you show us where the code is to do that in the Linux kernel?
- renewiltord 6y agoDo you know of a Wireshark filter that will reveal this on Ubuntu? What you're saying doesn't sound credible, but to incentivize, here's the bet: If you can provide a Wireshark filter that will show a certificate check on a vanilla Ubuntu 20.04 system when the following commands are executed in a bash shell, then I will donate $25 to a charity of your choice. Commands follow: cat <<HEREDOC >/tmp/file.c #include <stdio.h> int main() { printf("Hello World"); return 0; } HEREDOC gcc /tmp/file.c -o /tmp/app /tmp/app
- heavyset_go 6y agoNo, Linux does not. Linux does provide application-level and per-application security, as well as sandboxes, but they exist to help the user and the user has complete control over them and their system.
- jamil7 6y agoYeah because we’ve never seen windows or linux users have to perform crazy workarounds right.
- mamcx 6y agoThis was my intuition! I was in the middle of a call to fix a problem with a customer, I need to near-panic telling them MY computer was frozen. Thanks Apple!
- randmeerkat 6y agoSystem76 is pretty great and they have amazing customer support. Plus between ProtonDB / Lutris you can run pretty much anything you want that needed Windows before. https://system76.com/laptops https://system76.com/laptops
- wheybags 6y agoI use and love Linux, but come on man, that kind of statement does not help. Even with proton and friends, wine is not perfect. There will most likely be problems, and it's not a one to one transition. However, in my opinion, it is worth it, but there's no sense pretending there is no cost.
- bkallus 6y agoIt's certainly not perfect, but it's good. If Windows-specific stuff is what's keeping someone from Linux, I'd encourage them to at least see if it works in Wine.
- kdtsh 6y agoIf you're willing to use Windows, honestly one of the better solutions today is to just run Windows 10 in a VM. It's even feasible to do this for video games with VFIO.
- thekyle 6y agoGiven that they're using a MacBook they probably aren't using very much Windows specific software if any, so I don't know that Wine would be much of a factor.
- behnamoh 6y agoIt'd be cooler if they were called "system32". JK
