Ab Errantry Mac OS
Open System Preferences (you can click on the Apple logo in the menu to find it). Click on Software Update. Your computer will check for updates, and show that an update is available for your Mac. Note for future visitors of this gist: Mac OS has Apache Benchmark by default ab -help Edit 2020: this is popular! Glad my comment saved a tiny bit of time for so many people 🙂. I use Word 365 (Version 16.21) and OneDrive on a Mac Mini (OS 10.13.6.) The problem arises when I try to use Word (on the Mini) to edit a file stored on OneDrive. No problem using Word Online, so I'm definitely signed in already. The problem only appeared after months of constant use. I have reinstalled Outlook 365 on the Mini, to no avail.
First we would like to thank all our loyal users, especially the ones who have donated!
Since we have been subject to abuse of our API from several large companies and smart phone app creators who have incorrectly implemented our API, we have essentially been DDoSed for the past few months. (and our SSL cert expiring *doh*)
We have tested the new site a few times during off-peak hours and the results are extremely promising! If you would like to help test our beta site, please Contact Us and let us know you are interested in the beta. We will get back to you with a link when the beta is live.
Our current site will continue to operate without the API enabled and once the beta site goes live, all (correct) API queries will be backward compatible with the new website.
Please feel free to contact us via our Contact Us page with any questions, improvements, requests, ideas, or anything at all you may have.
Especially if you have any improvements or feature requests for the new site, we will accomidate and pack as many features as we can into the new site before it goes live!
Thank you!
A simple fix for the 'too many files open' limitation of Mac OS is to use the 'ulimit - n' command. Curiously, the value of n appears to be critical to whether or not this command is accepted by MacOS.
I've found that ulimit -n 10240 (the default is 256) works but n values higher do not. 10240 files is probably more that enough for most users.
This is a much simpler fix than many others I've found via Google. Does anyone know whether 10240 is the actual limit, and, if so, why? I also wonder whether the complex alternatives solutions to ulimit were developed because the user simply chose a value that wasn't accepted by MacOS and gave up on ulimit thinking it was a Linux command that doesn't work on MacOS.
Adding the 'ulimit -n 10240' statement to your bash profile using sudo nano .bash_profile makes it permanent.
