+Whenever possible I use `brew` to manage software and its dependencies on my mac.

+### Cheatsheat
+1.  ```brew update && brew upgrade `brew outdated` ```
+2. `brew upgrade && brew upgrade --cask`
+   Upgrades all packages that have been installed through brew.
+### Autoupdate
+My mac uses brew to autoupdate every 24 hours.
+I used the the [autoupdate package](https://github.com/DomT4/homebrew-autoupdate) and the following command for this:
+`brew autoupdate start 86400 --upgrade --cleanup --immediate --sudo`
+
+## App Store
+In order to automate the app store interactions there is a command line interface (CLI) called [mas-cli](https://github.com/mas-cli/mas). It allows us to manage the dependencies in an automated manner.

+After upgrading to MacOS 12.7 my time machine backup does not work anymore.
+
+I have read to debug you can look at the logs:
+
+``` bash
+printf '\e[3J' && log show --predicate 'subsystem == "com.apple.TimeMachine"' --info --last 6h | grep -F 'eMac' | grep -Fv 'etat' | awk -F']' '{print substr($0,1,19), $NF}'
+```
+
+It couldn't find the disk anymore, even though it was available. Thus, I removed it and re-added it, but it did not recognise the disk as the same. All old backups needed to be deleted and a fresh full backup needed to be done.
