Today's stuff
1. Embellished Toolkit for MSP to allow scoping VPP apps to directory groups.
2. Answering a bunch of tier 2 and 3 customer requests (one of which required the change in point 1).
3. Preparing data for next week's customer cloud migrations.
4. Fixing some issues with some of the JamfUploader processors' ability to ingest JSON.
Apple's Passwords app has lost two of my 2FA entries. Stupidly I kept the backup codes in the same entry, which also disappeared.
It's really quite difficult recovering an account where you lose the 2FA. But there's no way to add the same code to two different Authenticator apps, right?
It's a shame that I've now lost trust in Passwords as it is the most convenient 2FA app for Apple devices.
Today's stuff? Ok
1. A new script to create an API role and client for JamfUploader and store it in your keychain. First step towards adding this to MJT.
2. A new JamfUploader processor for enabling/disabling policies, EAs, and App Installer apps. It's called JamfObjectStateChanger.
3. 20 more Jamf Pro cloud migrations.
Today's stuff

@rstat1@hachyderm.io @mullvadnet@mastodon.online that depends who you choose to trust. At some point you have to have collective responsibility, not just individual rights, because nothing works without a legislature and a police force.

@necedema@kolektiva.social @mullvadnet@mastodon.online it's been Jess Phillip's life work to get a child safety bill in place. Sure, criticise the content, but you can't say this isn't about child safety.
Replying to
@mullvadnet@mastodon.online genuinely curious to hear your alternative ideas for solving the problem of online abuse of children, given that the private organisations that dominate the internet aren't particularly interested in public safety.
