Tahoe, cron job failure & iCloud
After updating to Tahoe (and this may be just coincidence) all of my cron jobs on my Mac starting erroring out. The only telling error I could find in one of my logs was: After double checking almost every permission setting I could find, I discovered that my iCloud Drive settings had switched to “Optimize…

Location Tracking w/ iPhone and Home Assistant
