Yeah, that's my current plan.

Now that Apple is about to launch, I think they said April 14th, now that they're about to launch their own first-party, more featured version of this, I would rather just use that.

And so I will look at that when it comes out.

In the meantime, my pile of hacks is fine, but I will look at those, especially as I approach this summer's beta season.

If I do end up wanting to run betas on some or all of these, that's going to be a burden.

So having centralized software management will be a lot nicer.

So we'll see when the time comes.

Yeah, I can't imagine it's taking 30 seconds.

I mean, so my argument, so that would be though, like I already built that with SSH and a shell script.

Yeah, I mean, and again, like this is the kind of thing like what your needs are determines a lot about what the, you know, what the solution here should be.

My needs are so simple here that if all it's going to save me doing is like, you know, right now I have just a simple text file that's about 30 lines long.

That is my instructions for setting up a new Mac mini.

And there's not much, it's not that hard.

You know, it's like I said, I changed like five settings and, you know, mostly about power management, like stay on, really stay on.

No, really always stay on and, and, you know, give it my SSH public key and say, all right, well, you know, accept anything from this go and, oh, and turn on remote desktop.

That's about it.

That's roughly all I do.

If something is like, well, you know, you can have more control over it by installing this different product.

Okay.

But right now I install no different products and I have all the control I need.
