#hackintosh — Public Fediverse posts

Trying to get the Dell Inspiron with Windoze 10 to get the ACPI to make it a Hackintosh, not a good experience:

- Running oh so slow.
- No Internet connection.
- Micro$lop wanting me to register my Micro$lop account.
- Can’t enter more than 3 characters in a search in Firefox.

It just sucks! #microslop #hackintosh

Because I need to dual boot #Windows11, I decided to bring #rEFInd to the game, and it’s awesome.👏

With some minor tweaking, you can have any OS (even #Hackintosh) booting through their own EFI partition. And colors! And no more pressing FX to select the boot loader! USB compatible!

It would be cool now to have a cross platform utility to pick which OS you want to boot tinto next.

@renice #Discovery is red team. #DS9 is the beleaguered #neteng that keeps getting told there's no funding for a dedicated blue team. Except sometimes #section31 comes along claiming to be blue team, but they're really a bunch of self-motivated charcoal-hat cowboy coders on shadow projects. You're pretty sure most of them couldn't pass the company code of conduct policy tests. There's a persistent rumor they're going to get formally recognized as a skill team any quarter now.

#Voyager is that startup that never quite lands their IPO, and keeps having to seek new sources of VC funding along the way. They keep picking up new people, and the old hands can barely remember what it was like before seven years of 24/7 crunch time.

#Prodigy is that code #bootcamp that gets away with not charging for their services because the parent company accidentally bundled them with a datacenter's electric bill, where they're just noise in the budget.

#Picard is the local #Solaris users group that's all gung-ho about #Illumos. They've got some good points and originated some iconic features, but they're principally about nostalgia these days.

#tos is the retrocomputing club. Spectrum Sinclairs and Altairs line the walls, but are mostly for show. Someone converted an old IBM POWER workstation into a #Hackintosh so they could show Kid Pix to the kids. Everybody else spends their time showing off their DOS savegame files on the club's file server. One guy is playing DOOM in the corner with the music coming from an external Roland MIDI keyboard. Another guy figured out how to launch old DOS door games under containerized #dosemu instances via inetd, but people stopped talking to him once he solved the sandbox escape problem by having systemd launch the containers on-demand in a deprivileged chroot.

#StrangeNewWorlds is the club founded by that guy from the retrocomputing club that got DOS door games running via systemd; Now he's porting his door game collection to run in #webassembly, and has managed to reach a new generation of people respinning the classics.

#Enterprise is the #beos users group. Really a subgroup of the local retrocomputing club. They hate it, because people keep confusing their interests with Mac OS Classic and Linux.

Did I miss anyone?

So putting the #hackintosh setup on the backburner for the moment. Managed to get an OSX Monterey install finished and booting properly (had some more EFI 'fun' yet again due to my own hand, I completely flubbed the proper folder layout of the EFI partition. Now it can fully boot with no external input from me.). Now there's just a lot of tweakage involved in getting certain features working. Probably the biggest is getting the trackpad going properly. Can't do a simple tap-click which has become a hardwired action in my brain. And OSX doesn't seem to recognize that a trackpad exists.

But that's for another day! On to another short-term hyperfixation brought to you by the #ADHD part of my #AuDHD brain!

Thanks to my brother putting a bug in my ear, I'm going through working out the practical details of doing an IRL in-car/road trip streaming setup.

The technical/behind-the-scenes details of streaming has become a big fixation of mine over the years and an IRL streaming setup has been one of the vestiges of this that has really intrigued me and something I definitely want to try and set up and put into actual use.

I've got the mental checklist figured out regarding all the moving parts needed for this. Just down to actually getting it all working together. But I'm definitely looking forward to the challenge. 🙂
