It is the year 2020 and replicating APFS containers still sucks. One would expect it would be a simple copy and paste in the Disk Utility app but this is still far from reality.

Last year I wrote how I managed to clone my macOS system under Catalina. The main trick was to create a DMG file with multiple volumes, mount it on target machine and drop to command-line to do asr restore from synthetised disk while avoiding possible pitfalls.

The good news is that Apple devs definitely worked on improving this under Big Sur and added some documentation (see man asr). But I didn't understand it fully on first read. Maybe someone could explain how is this supposed to work?

youtube-dl has the ability to give you a direct download link for a video instead of downloading the whole video by itself. This is really useful if you only intend to clip a specific part of a stream, and you can even do that without reencoding for maximum speed if you can accept a tolerance of 2 seconds (the usual keyframe interval used for streams). This is a technique I am using to make my Games Done Quick clips as well, so this is not limited to YouTube.

Here's how you can do it:

Requirements

youtube-dl, ideally newest version (https://youtube-dl.org)
ffmpeg, you can get this from https://ffmpeg.org/download.html.
- ready Windows binaries: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/#release-section
For protected streams you may need to pass cookies to youtube-dl and a tool to generate the cookie file for it, see below for details.

Setting up a Docker Swarm with GPUs

Installing Docker

Official instructions.

Add yourself to the docker group to be able to run containers as non-root (see Post-install steps for Linux).

Proxmox

Find the proper driver at the NVidia website.

Note: Make sure to select "Linux 64-bit" as your OS

Hit the "Search" button.

对于所有应用，不建议直接删除，使用adb shell pm disable-user package-name禁用即可，方便出问题时恢复。

DO NOT UNINSTALL:

com.miui.securitycenter
com.miui.securityadd
com.xiaomi.finddevice

(Don’t uninstall these three apps or services from your Xiaomi device. Otherwise, you may encounter device bricking or bootloop issues.)

Mix -> Vite

install dependencies
- vite
- laravel-vite-plugin
- vite-plugin-vue2 (for vue2.6) @vitejs/plugin-vue2 (for vue2.7) or @vitejs/plugin-vue (for vue3)

SIO

If you've only got an SIO and you wonder what the length of the credential is, this information, experimentally derived and provided on Discord, may help.

SIO Payload Length	PACS Minimum Size	PACS Maximum Size
21 Bytes	25 bits	32 bits
22 Bytes	33 bits	40 bits
23 Bytes	41 bits	48 bits

How to run Windows on Mac

We're going to run Windows 11 IoT (ARM) on Mac M1 (ARM) using the native binary translation, thanks to up-to-date version of qemu which has native hardware support.

Prerequisites

Install qemu and required tools (coreutils - we need truncate/gtruncate, dd/gdd CLI tools, samba - to share files between host and guest VM).

$ brew install qemu coreutils samba

	#!/usr/bin/env bash

	# uses https://github.com/z3bra/wendy

	# replace below value with path of your chia '-d' value
	CHIA_D="/many/t7"

	# replace below value with path of HDD
	FINAL="/mnt/plots"

	global
	lua-load /path/to/haproxy_minecraft.lua
	[...]

	defaults
