Unos amigos se encontraron con un colinabo recientemente y pidieron ideas sobre qué hacer con ello. Me resultó gracioso, porque la primera vez que vi un colinabo (estando ya en Polonia) me pareció también muy extraño (imagina que te encuentras en el campo algo así pero pintado con spray metálico: yo me mantendría alejado!)

I wanted to stop Mail.app in OS X 10.10 Yosemite from caching locally my IMAP messages. Once upon a time there was right there in Mail.app an option to do just that, but for the last couple of OS versions the only option shown there is whether to download the attachments or not.

Yes, there is a syslogd, but it is some half-hollowed out thing and “others” do most of the work. Syslogd does NOT open an UDP socket, launchd does and feeds it to syslogd. Syslogd does NOT (really) receive the UDP packets, a plugin does it. Syslog does NOT parse the UDP message, ASL (Apple System Log?) does.

So the first step is to enable UDP reception. The manpage f...
