I had a Linux box that suddenly dies, with no logs indicating what. Turns out that there was some segmentation fault in a service, which killed the computer before it had a chance to write to logs or before the logs were written to disk, somehow, not sure exactly how.

Not until I started sending the logs out to my desktop computer as they happened, could I finally figure out what service was crashing it.

Now macOS is absolutely horrible for headless operations (ask me, just set up one yesterday for signing purposes and it's just... No comment.), but surely there must be some way of macOS to send logs somewhere else, maybe you could try that instead of trying to see it as it happens.

It isn't working for _you_, and you don't know why yet. This isn't yet useful information and doesn't indicate that the entire OS is broken (universally).

I can understand upgrading for testing purposes, but on my personal machine I've always put it off as long as possible.

Folks, linux is more stable than any Apple software. I'm going back.

And it feels great.
