why brew in favor of port (macports)? any particular reason -- just curious.

  And why PasswordBox instead of 1Password?
  • altryne1 13y ago
    Oh, well, 1password seems very greedy. Although I don't mind paying for software, 1password ends up being extra costy when you want the app and the mobile apps. Especially now that a new one released and it's not an update but a new app you need to buy. Where as password box is free. 100%

  It's a personal preference but it seems like brew is more supported and the lack of need for 'sudo' wins in my book

  I avoid brew because it mungs the default permissions of /usr/local. I'm probably not their target demographic, though, because I'm already using /usr/local as the installation location when I build from source. I don't like tools that violate my expectations.

    Something like this should work to allow access to /usr/local without changing the traditional Unix permissions: chmod +a 'user:YOUR_NAME_HERE allow add_subdirectory,add_file,delete_child,directory_inherit' /usr/local
