Ovid 💻
Notes
11/23/21 - I wrote a quick post about why I purchased it and why I named it Ovid @ https://davidawindham.com/ovid and I'll document the rest of the it here. Picked him up from the Apple Store. Moved my old laptop so that I could share the screen for referencing configuration. Booted her up and loaded up activity monitor and command line top to watch the processes. I always avoid using the migration assistant so that I can start clean. My main goal is to keep the machine as minimal and simple as possible. I am going to try and avoid running any x86 processes under Rosetta in my attempt to go fully ARM https://davidawindham.com/arm/.

Upgrading from MySQL <8.4 to MySQL >9.0 requires running MySQL 8.4 first:
- brew services stop mysql
- brew install mysql@8.4
- brew services start mysql@8.4
- brew services stop mysql@8.4
- brew services start mysql
- 24.11.11 - upgraded postgresql@15 to add pgvector for ai retrieval
- 24.07.14 - added PHP 8.3.9 and summarized it
- 24.07.14 - nvm - removed node@16 & set v20.15.1 as default
- 24.07.10 - Had a MariaDB meltdown and wrote up a quick summary @ /posts/mariadb-meltdown as a reference. Switched back to MySQL 8.3
- 23.11.26 - Vecel bumped their default Ruby runtime to v3.2 so I decided to switch out the global on this machine. Had a build error and had to install libyaml manually.

Languages
Apple is removing languages from the OS via Xcode 11 release notes: "Scripting language runtimes such as Python, Ruby, and Perl are included in macOS for compatibility with legacy software. In future versions of macOS, scripting language runtimes won't be available by default, and may require you to install an additional package." Instead of adding four or five versions of each language to support legacy codebase, I'm going to bring modify the old projects.
