    Installing Telnet on a newer Mac

    Hi, all — I have an archaic piece of hardware on my network at work which still requires me to use Telnet to check its available disk space (long story). I always did that via Telnet, but since I got my cheese-grater Mac, I've been unable to do it as Telnet functionality isn't there any more...

    Who need Homebrew?

    Hello, I'm trying to understand who needs Homebrew and why. Why should I use Homebrew if I can download the app from an official website? Can somebody explain to me why everyone uses it?
