I attached the Mac mini with steel bands inside the glue-sealed box - you can find it in a hardware store, bend it and screw it in. Most important with closed boxes is aeration holes in the rear to avoid overheating. It would take a long time for a potential robber to steal anything and nobody would take such risk in a public place to my opinion.

thanks for contributions ! course there is no keyboard nor mouse, just a mini mac headless in a box. point is that i have to guarantee somehow that no geek can twist things easily physically on the mac, even if the guy has a screwdriver, for instance to steal images via GEM or whatever being no hacker myself :) (you know, society is getting more and more paranoid…) … hmm

hi
if you could start your patch with pd -nogui flag, patches would no be visible, so afaik not to be editable anymore.
cheers markus

Hello I will make an installation in a public space soon where the machine (mac) will be somehow accessible : for responsibility and privacy reasons, i’d like to make it impossible to manipulate the patches (first time i encounter this issue in my long usage of pd…) Is there a way to lock everything ? compile or whatever ? i mean once a patch is running, the mac is basically accessible, no ? (session opened, mouse and keyboard operable, not talking about ethernet) What i have been doing until now is run patches in public spaces tor theaters just as at home and that was fine, but won’t be ok this time Thanks JM
