MacOS

Moving OpenClaw off a Linux VPS and onto a hackintosh, then adding NotebookLM’s CLI to turn a finished blog post into a narrated slide video automatically.

One innocent auto-login setting later, my Mac mini hackintosh was stuck in a boot loop — a night of Gemini-guided EFI edits, a networkless recovery dead end, and a reinstall that saved my data.

A NAS on 192.168.5.x went unreachable with ‘No route to host’ — the culprit was a leftover feth interface from an ad-blocker’s content-filter extension that never fully uninstalled.

Going back to native macOS input plus voice dictation, and the full teardown needed since deleting the app alone leaves the input method partially resident.

Native-smooth typing, a dictionary that actually keeps up with slang, and built-in emoji/spacing niceties — Rime finally out of the box.

A restrained, transparent command-line cleaner for leftover app files and system/dev caches — scan first, then clean, nothing automatic or hidden.
