How about this whole thread's topic? Can you just turn off OCSP
so the Mac doesn't ask Apple servers before running any
executable? And I don't mean turning off wifi.
Sure, add it to /etc/hosts, ds flush, done. Everyone knew that half an hour into the event, thanks to lap’s tweet, and some knew it years prior to the outage, too.
Or if the loss of Mac App Store access that results bothers you, write a simple http filter proxy that only rejects gatekeeper OCSP and place it into your Network preferences Proxy section.
macOS won’t stop you. This is all basic decades-old Linux admin knowledge, and the only Mac-specific command is know how to flush the DNS resolver cache without rebooting. I am not yet persuaded of your argument.
What other specific instances do you know of where you think macOS won’t let you do something to your own device?
