What happened after we configured them, are they still configured that way, has the user managed to get around the controls we put in place.

Working at the same place for a long time can have some amazing benefits. Every conversation, meeting, or ticket solved is another person you met, another piece of knowledge you have that you didn't have before and another piece of the huge puzzle that is slowly getting assembled inside your brain. Institutional knowledge can be an amazing thing, and we all love that person we work with who seems to have been there right from the beginning and just.knows.stuff. But does having too many puzzle pieces assembled in your mind prevent you from getting overly curious, for fear of tipping everything over? What about the excitement of starting a new job, meeting new people and discovering new ways of doing things? Today we are so happy to welcome Kitzy back to the Mac Admins podcast after a very long time to talk about rediscovering curiosity and what it's like to walk away from being the keeper of the lore.

From Pastor Doug Wilson's open letter to reactions from faith leaders like Jenna Ellis and Sean Feucht, the conversation explores what Trump's statements reveal about faith, humility, and salvation. Plus, they explore how these discussions highlight deeper questions about God, grace, and the intersection of faith and politics in today's world.

What are Christians to make of President Donald Trump's comments about wanting to get into heaven? The commander-in-chief's recent proclamations reignited a theological debate about faith and works — and sparked a litany of questions."President Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting he could earn his way to Heaven by ending the Ukraine-Russia war prompted a flurry of theological debate on social media regarding good works, salvation and the state of the president's soul," The Christian Post's Jon Brown recently wrote, noting Trump said the following during a "Fox & Friends" interview: "I want to try and get to Heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole."Brown joins "The Inside Story" to break down the discussion and debate that followed.

The MacAdmins Community has a long, vibrant history of solving problems together usually through open source projects that become essential tools in our workflows. Whatever challenge you're facing, chances are there's already a project, or a group of passionate people, tackling something similar. But with so many options, the path forward isn't always clear. Do you adopt an existing open source tool? Invest in a polished, commercial solution? Or roll up your sleeves and build something totally new? Today we're diving into one admins journey into this struggle, and their path as they decided to build their own solutions for automating application and software patching in their organization.

Macs are safe - they don't get malware. We used to hear this all the time and whilst Apple has done a wonderful job of building a secure by design operating system, there are still threats out there we need to protect ourselves against. It's also no surprise that macOS is not Windows. And it's further and further away from behaving like UNIX these days. So how do we know what to look for, and where to even go looking for it?

What does it mean to be a Mac Admin in the year of jobs 2025? Long gone are the days of having to explain that no, that isn't something that macs can integrate with. Instead we have all had to become experts in so many different silos within the modern IT organisation, from Identity, Security, Networking and Certificates. Being able to embrace and understand these concepts has also led to opportunities in career growth. Gone are the days where hoping for a small windowless room and the opportunity to get some new hardware to test once in a while was seen as a good deal. The growth of macOS in the enterprise has meant that our skills are incredibly attractive to large organisations, especially if we are able to combine technical prowess with the negotiation and collaboration required to drag Windows-centric teams towards the path of righteousness when it comes to a cross-platform or employee choice environment Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge@theinternet.social Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom Guests: Tony Young - LinkedIn Links: Tony's Career Audit Career Audit Template Kane Narraway What is Client Platform Engineering Sponsors: Kandji Kolide Alectrona Watchman Monitoring If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.
