Reply to Setting shared memory in Catalina
Apple is killing the macOS platform; slow painful death ☹️ It should not be this complicated to change simple OS parameters - I want to turn off Time Machine throttling (debug.lowpri_throttle_enabled=0) and swap (launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist).. I feel I shouldn't have to reboot into Recovery mode, disable SIP, reboot into Recovery mode again, mount encrypted OS drive, create plist file and set parameter and disable swap, enable SIP, reboot yet again - 30 minutes later on a good day? If Catalina wasn't bad enough - Big Sur sure is - after Apple drops support for Catalina, I am outta here unless some major simplicity improvements magically happens in the next few releases.. Like downloadable OS update dmg files - yet another very sad topic...Usability is gone and it is not for real developers any more - the platform is dead to me

Reply to Big Sur reproducible DNS resolution issues
mDNSResponder is just a disaster constantly have to unload/load, why not keep it simple and go back to /etc/resolv.conf
