![]() ![]() Perhaps I could leave Hazel etc running on the old iMac itself. My initial thought was that I could use my existing iMac as the screen using Target Display Mode but I’m not sure how feasible or potentially inconvenient that might be. I don’t think I need a laptop at this point but I do like the idea that if I were travelling I could pack a Mac mini pretty easily in case I needed it (which is less and less). The main advantage seems to be higher specs for a lower price. I’m wondering whether I should consider a Mac mini as my main computer. So, in short, I need to get some sort of replacement in the relatively near future, probably in early 2020 if I had to guess. I have a second cheap monitor hooked up to this. I think this will keep working for me for a while after I get back and save some money but I think it’s approaching the point where it needs replacing and I assume at some point I won’t be able to update the OS. At home I basically never use it but I have brought it with me overseas to do some of the above, as well as a cheap Windows laptop that I use for the work server and coding practice.īack in Australia I have a late-2012 iMac which runs okay (and is pretty much always-on) but I feel like I push a little hard at times. I have a laptop but it is a 2011 MacBook Air that struggles quite a lot and can’t install Mojave. I do also really enjoy Hazel and Keyboard Maestro and I like having them there to run things for me. There are a few things I still actively need a Mac for-currently that list is only budgeting (but this will probably resolve itself once I no longer need multi-currency support as I will likely move back to YNAB), logging into my work server to work from home, coding (at which I am very much an amateur, but am looking to practice and learn and improve in 2019), keeping a home inventory, and managing Photos (literally the only part of this is importing my partner’s photos into a shared library…and I do quite like having a copy stored somewhere that’s not just iCloud). I use an iPad and find that I am doing 90% of the things I want to do on it now. I’m feeling so conflicted though, and keep changing my mind! Perhaps MPU can offer some clarity? I’ll offer some background. I’ve been vaguely toying with the idea of buying a Mac mini (or some other Mac) when I get back to Australia and normal life. How are others using Homebridge in their homes? ![]()
