| hexa | 🤔 | 20:58:46 |
| Simon Hauser | btw i think ofborg is borken since 2hours ago. i have 500 in my longs from requests to github | 20:58:48 |
| hexa | it should update to 15.6.x iirc | 20:59:12 |
| hexa | yeah, github has issues, cloudflare had issues 🤷 | 20:59:28 |
| Simon Hauser | reported it didnt have updates for that one. 44911305 and 44911362 did updates to 15.x and rebooted automatically | 21:00:43 |
| hexa | yeah, but I think that is wrong | 21:00:56 |
| hexa | the box should still be supported | 21:01:02 |

| Simon Hauser | all 3 x86 should be the same | 21:02:09 |
| Simon Hauser | okay i guess you can do softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 15.7 to find the software version 🤷 its downloading the update | 21:05:54 |
| hexa | yeah, I wonder if we can execute the full installer w/o remote hands | 21:19:23 |
| Simon Hauser | apparently we can do --nointeraction on startosinstall | 21:30:02 |
 Janne | Maybe I did that during the takeover? Sounds familiar. If we need more help, I can ask my old employer with macos automation. They have a lot of painful experience along with some ansible playbooks | 22:03:02 |
