Exporting from Outlook on Mac

Searching the web for solutions on how to export messages and folders from outlook on the mac, I found a ton of useless articles about olm files and windows articles about psts.

The easy answer was the most macintosh of answers: Drag the item to the desktop.

This creates a very familiar file, but one that is not so easy to deal with in most gui applications, an old style mbox.

This is a single massive file rather than a folder structure, but it's cross platform and usable with unix mail utilities.

This was confusing and I had to do a lot of searching to find the right terms.

My process was:

break the mirror (zpool split pool pool2) to keep a backup offline.
look up the wwn number to sata port in /dev/disk/by-id
power down the system and unplug the pool disk to keep
plug in the two new disks and join them to the mirror (zpool attach pool wwn-existing-member wwn-new-disk)
wait 18-24 hours for resilvering to complete

the issue

This is a cool little compact tower that has a few drive bays (2xLFF 3.5, 1xSFF 2.5, 1X5.25) and comes at a decent price used in 2024. I picked one up because it's much lower power than my ancient z800 and has support for intel based hardware transcoding with plex and jellyfin.

It comes with the intel desktop set of management tools using ME and AMT and vPRO, rather than an IPMI. I want the system to run headless and would rather not move it to hook up a monitor and keyboard.

Intel has stopped supporting meshcommander and I don't have a big enough lab to run a dedicated server for it anyhow.

I wanted a cheap and dirty remote access that would let me get into uefi and troubleshoot OS issues.

The steamdeck displays buttons based on the steamui in the tenfoot interface. This means that the button images used are on the filesystem.

On the Mac, the files are in /Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle/Steam/Contents/MacOS/controller_base/images/api/

On the steamdeck the files are in the user home directory in /home/deck/.steam/steam/controller_base/images/api

Under the API directory there are several folders {dark, knockout, light} that contain image files.

I am guessing that the knockout files are used for the steamdeck buttons, as those look the most similar.

Below are the key settings that I have applied to my local unifi install. I forked this Gist after having success with these settings.

	the steam deck dock support 4k60 video output over HDMI with the right cable.
	we need hdmi 1.4b support on the cable to get this and we need the right connection through usbc.

	The best bet is to get a usb cable that supports usb 3.2 gen 2 and a HDMI cable supporting 4k60 or more.

	All the videos that I found were about older boards or using the model where the bltouch replaces the z-end stop switch instead of augmenting it. I wanted to keep it as an extra failsafe so that I was not reliant on the soft switch to prevent a head crash.

	Wire Bltouch to Probe port
	Leave z end switch connected

	Load firmware-bltouch.bin from https://github.com/bigtreetech/BIGTREETECH-SKR-mini-E3/tree/master/firmware/V2.0

	note that the zhoming firmware only works if you replace the z end switch with the bltouch, so we won't use that.
