Wiki 5
- Bypassing DPI with eBPF sock_ops Bora Tanrıkulu builds gecit — eBPF sock_ops on Linux for in-kernel SNI desync, gVisor + TUN as the "tiny VPN" fallback on macOS/Windows
- GPU-accelerated terminal Terminal emulators that render glyphs through the GPU; the tradeoff is latency and crispness against power draw
- macOS TCP Time Bomb: 49-Day Kernel Overflow XNU kernel's 32-bit tcp_now overflows after 49.7 days, freezing TIME_WAIT and killing TCP
- Silent Replacement of Trusted macOS App Executables Mysk: archive-and-restore lets user-level code swap a downloaded app's binary; Apple declined to fix
- Terminal GPU battery cost on macOS Why GPU-accelerated terminals (Ghostty, Alacritty, Kitty) drain MacBook battery, and what to do about it
Toolbox 7
- boringBar macOS Dock replacement that shows windows per Space, with desktop switching and previews
- Darling Wine for macOS software — runs Mach-O binaries on Linux via a userspace Darwin kernel server and reimplemented Apple frameworks; CLI works, GUI experimental
- Ghost Pepper Hold-to-talk macOS dictation using on-device WhisperKit plus a local LLM cleanup pass
- hazmat macOS containment for AI coding agents via a separate Unix user, Seatbelt sandbox and pf rules
- Palmier Pro Swift video editor for macOS that exposes its timeline to coding agents over a local MCP server
- superhq macOS app running coding agents in microVMs, with credentials injected host-side, never in the VM
- yap macOS menu-bar dictation that ships no model — it calls Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer directly
