repleteon Obsidian 1.4.10 Desktop (Public)

https://github.com/replete/obsidian-minimal-theme-css-snippe...

This is a repo of my working obsidian UI improvements / plugin homogenizations for Minimal Theme users. The Properties autohide is pretty handy. Just a bunch of CSS. That's what I like about Obsidian, I fix anything I don't like.

repleteon Hacking the LG Monitor's EDID

This makes more sense to me. LG screens tend to have proper modes set and is one reason I recently purchased an LG Ultragear a couple of weeks ago.

repleteon FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization

I've been looking at this for years, there are options if you have suitable hardware (there are a number of caveats). Proxmox has looked the most promising for a while.

repleteon FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization

I prefer MacOS as a daily driving operating system to linux or Windows for development and general computing.

repleteon FreeBSD Bhyve Virtualization

I check every now and then to see if there is MacOS guest support, I would really like to use BSD as a host and completely drop Apple hardware since they started soldering SSDs. I have the last Intel MBP, and sure ARM is powerful, but in 5 years of heavy use it will be a brick in need of a new mainboard and that makes no sense to me.

I guess the reality is in a year or two I'll land on fedora and proxmox or something. I have seen plenty of interesting content on proxmox and PCIE passthrough, but very little showing actual pro users with this kind of set up so the MacOS workstation VM idea might not be as practical as I'm hoping.

repleteon Google is already pushing WEI into Chromium

It's behind by some weeks on major, contributing new features is difficult because most dev effort seems to be on integrating upstream. It is a great easy path for the less technical to 'more privacy', but pretty much if you are a developer just harden it yourself IMO.

repleteon Why can’t you just roll back from a bad macOS update?

I make a full system drive clone with carbon copy cloner before every update. It was handy that time that Apple released a major operating system version that broke all my USB-C hubs for 6 months...

repleteon Zluda: Run CUDA code on Intel GPUs, unmodified

Llama.cpp just added CUDA GPU acceleration yesterday, so this would be very interesting for the emerging space of running local LLMs on commodity hardware.

Running CUDA on an AMD RDNA3 APU is what I'd like to see as its probably the cheapest 16GB shared VRAM solution (UMA Frame Buffer BIOS setting) and creates the possibility of running 13b LLM locally on an underutilized iGPU.

Aaand its been dead for years, shame.

repleteon Kera Desktop: open-source, cross-platform, web-based desktop environment

I've been using obsidian for note taking recently and found myself writing all kinds of extended UI functionality just because I could do so easily with web technologies. Writing a bit of JS and CSS to make my primary operating system interface with exactly how I like would be pretty handy. Did the same thing with Firefox when I realized I could just write some css to make the UI more compact.
