I have a problem activating Office for Mac on an offline laptop. When I use the installer for Office for MAC it asks for a email address to activate Office but of course I don't have internet so I can't do that.

I get a slowly growing number of ports. It grows about 100 an hour but the rate varies considerably.
When I close the process, the ports do not disappear from the list. Similarly when I kill the process. Restarting the machine obviously resets the list but it just grows again. I have multiple machines showing the same symptom.

I work for a large corporation, and I work on a Macbook Pro. The company has a fancy arrangement where the password I use to connect to the VPN is "synched" to the password I use to log on to my laptop.
My Mac password refuses to "synch" to the VPN password. I have set it several times by going to Preferences -> Users -> Change Password, but it won't actually change. If I lock my screen ...

I am desperate: I moved two domains from one server to another which was running smooth. I secured both domains (web & mail) with Letsencrypt certificates. Now the owner of these domains complained about a not working mailserver. But this could not be, because other domains could send and receive e-mails. While troubleshooting, I noticed that no web pages could be retrieved from my server on macOS o ...
I am looking to find out if Mac devices can be registered (not joined) to Azure AD. I've tried to research on both Google and this site, but all information I was able to find pertained to joining Azure AD and/or enrolling the device in Intune.

On a regular VM - Vagrant Box (LAMP) on Mac OS, while making a trivial call, there is a 5 Seconds DNS Lookup delay. Is there any reason for it or solution?
Already installed BerlinVagrant/vagrant-dns and added the --natdnshostresolver1 --natdnsproxy1 on settings. The Responses are quicker while calling within 3 seconds. If longer time between, there is a fix 5s timeout.

I use a synology NAS, and have snapshots enabled. This creates a bunch of timestamped copies of folders in a #snapshots directory for each share. For instance, if I have the folder homes/alex/my/folder/structure/
(where "homes" is a default share in DSM), I also have the folders homes/#snapshots/<timestamp1, timestamp2, timestamp3, etc>/alex/my/folder/structure/
containing snapshots of the

Where I work as a sysadmin, we have an old Macintosh IIvx that is the only one left in the world with an obscure program on it that will cost the company a ton of money if they can't use it. Well, the dreaded day has come.
Yesterday, it wasn't booting and just showing a black screen, there appeared to be damage on the PSU, so we replaced the PSU with another one we found that had a broken fan. Re ...
