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.

(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

honestly, I'd be more afraid that someone might steal the mac or damage it physically (on purpose or by accident), so make sure that this can't happen. as a side effect, no one will be able to tinker with it either :-).

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.
