# IDEA.md — Project Idea
|
|
|
|
## What is this?
|
|
Ops home for Seth's new MacBook Pro (Sept 2026). Debloat it, make it feel like
|
|
a Linux box to a Linux user, and tune it for Ableton Live 12 (native — the
|
|
steel141/Wine route was abandoned 2026-09-14, see `~/bin/ableton/`).
|
|
|
|
## Problem it solves
|
|
Stock macOS is noisy (Siri, Spotlight indexing everything, iCloud nags,
|
|
Photos/Music/News/TV auto-launch, animations, Dock junk) and the CLI is BSD
|
|
userland with zsh — `ip a` doesn't exist. Want: quiet machine, GNU-flavoured
|
|
shell, homelab reachability (SMB to tank, ssh aliases), and a DAW-first
|
|
config (no Time Machine mid-set, no sleep/App Nap on Live, audio not
|
|
tripped by notifications).
|
|
|
|
## Constraints / preferences
|
|
- Manage over SSH from steel141 (`ssh mac`, 192.168.0.94 LAN / Tailscale later)
|
|
- Homebrew for everything installable; scripted + idempotent, not hand-clicked
|
|
- `defaults write` changes are reversible — dump before changing (`.backup/`)
|
|
- Don't fight SIP/Gatekeeper; disable *services*, don't rip out system apps
|
|
- Ableton Suite Packs come with the license (in-app download); third-party
|
|
packs live at `/tank/Downloads/Software/Milkie/` via SMB from 192.168.0.173
