SafariTube - Fix YouTube on Safari

How do I use it?

1. Install Tampermonkey from the (Mac) App Store
2. Configure Tampermonkey to your liking (optional, but recommend checking general update settings in particular)

# Change Xcode version in GitHub Actions

As of today (2019-08-21) I haven't found any documentation on changing Xcode versions when
using GitHub actions. So I checked the applications folder and everything we need is 
already there. 🤩

```
> ls -n /Applications/ | grep Xcode*
lrwxr-xr-x   1 0    80    30 Aug  2 19:31 Xcode.app -> /Applications/Xcode_10.2.1.app
drwxr-xr-x   3 501  20    96 Oct 20  2018 Xcode_10.1.app

Pinecil Flashing & Firmware Guide

This shows the bare minimum on how to flash your Pinecil with custom/new firmware, as well as changing things like the boot logo.

NOTE: This guide should work on both Linux and macOS as is, however it has only been tested on macOS Big Sur 11.6, so some steps might differ slightly on Linux, at least at the time of writing this.

Flashing & Requirements

The following dependencies are necessary for the entirety of the guide, however here we are only showing how to install them on macOS.

Dids

1. Set ESXi package acceptance level to community:

esxcli software acceptance set --level=CommunitySupported

2. Install the VIB:

cd /tmp
wget https://blog.rylander.io/2017/01/15/connect-a-esxi-6.5-host-to-a-ups-connected-to-a-synology-nas/NutClient-ESXi500-1.4.0.tar.gz
tar -xvzf NutClient-ESXi500-1.4.0.tar.gz

What is the purpose of this guide?

I originally wanted to create bootable disks for UEFI (i)PXE booting, meaning I could directly boot premade disk images over the network, no matter what they may contain.

While this guide serves my purpose well, it's also generic enough to be extended to almost any use case. For example, you might use it as temporary or even portable storage, mountable across different operating systems, or you might use it as a disk image for a virtual machine.

DISCLAIMER: Be very careful with the commands listed below, as you could potentially not only cause data loss, but even prevent your operating system from booting, no matter how unlikely either of those may be. Pay attention to the commands, comments and differences between the guide and your local environment.

NOTICE: This guide is no longer relevant, as a lot has changed over time and Go supports Apple Silicon natively just fine now!

Compile Go for Apple Silicon (M1)

Follow these short instructions on how to compile Go for Apple Silicon (M1). From here on out, we may simply refer to it as the "ARM device".

This entire process should only take about 5-10 minutes, but please read through everything carefully, in order to avoid any potential issues along the way.

Note that at the time of writing this, Go was not yet officially available for Apple's ARM.

Installing IPAs on Apple Silicon (M1)

1. Open Apple Configurator 2 and plug in your iPhone or iPad
2. Click Add, login to the App Store and select the application you want to install
3. Open up ~/Library/Group\ Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator/Library/Caches/Assets and wait until the TemporaryItems directory appears
4. Copy the application from the newly created temporary directory, but do note that it will disappear once Apple Configurator is done installing
5. Double click the .ipa on your Apple Silicon (M1) device and install it
6. Fix permissions on the installed application by running sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine /Applications/<your_app>.app (if you skip this step, you're unable to start the application)

Note that it's easier if you already have the application installed, as Apple Configurator will prompt you about overwriting the existing installation, at which point the temporary file (the .ipa) will still exist, until you choose an action in the prompt.

Introduction

In this example, we'll be patching /Library/Extensions/NVDAStartupWeb.kext/Contents/Info.plist, replacing any occurrences of <string>17B1003</string> with <string>17C88</string>, allowing us to enable the Nvidia Web Driver on "unsupported" versions of macOS, such as newly released updates, without having to wait for an updated driver to become available.

It's very important to note that there are actually two spaces in the replacement value (Markdown doesn't display them correctly), as the character lengths of both values must always match. In this case it made more sense to add the spaces before rather than after, as they're most likely to already exist in the original Info.plist.

Encoding

This shows how you can encode both values to a base64 encoded string, which is the format that'll end up in the patch itself.
