Time machine exclude list for developers
Backuping the following folders can eat up hundreds of gigabytes on the backup storage, and can cause significant performance reduction if the backup drive is a HDD (some of them can contains millions of files).
- /Applications/Xcode
- /Applications/Xcode-beta
- ~/.gradle
- ~/.npm
- ~/.composer
- ~/.cocoapods
- ~/.android/avd
- ~/Library/Application Support/JetBrains/Toolbox/apps
- ~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default/Application Cache
- ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
- ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport
- {path to a node project}/node_modules
By removing these folders from the backups and excluding them in the System Preferences, the backup process can be faster and will consume less storage space.
Updater can’t detect DataTraveler Locker+ G3 (DTLPG3)
Nor the Windows, nor the Mac OS firmware updater contains device product IDs for every variant. Such as the “DTLPG3_Mac_Updater.zip” and the “DTLPG3 Updater with El Capitan Fix.zip”.
For me the device productID is same as the DTVP (DataTraveler Vault) drive’s productID.
The trick is to make the firmware updater (Mac OS variant) to work:
- Find your DTLocker+G3’s productID in the System Information app, under USB.
- Change the ‘productID’ in the following file, to your drive’s one:
DTLPG3_Mac_Updater.app/Contents/Resources/devicePersonalities.plist
Ex: My drive’s product is 0x160D, so I changed the ID from 0x169D to 0x160D. - Run the firmware updater app
After this modification, the updater can find and reflash the drive.
The latest updater can be downloaded from the Kingston’s website here: https://www.kingston.com/us/support/technical/products/dtlpg3
With this update the drive can be used with the latest MacOS Catalina.

Clover EFI ver3389 with corrected DDR4 RAM detection
Here it is my newest Clover build. Since last time I made a research again in the spd.c file and in the DDR4 SPD specification, and I realised that we can identify the speed from the Minimum Cycle Time and what is a most important thing: we must paging to access to upper 256byte of the SPD data.
