Here's the link to the Darwin, the underlying Unix layer of macOS, which is open source [1]. Go for it! [1]: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...

Though the blog post was written last year regarding macOS Ventura, the same hack is still present in the Sequoia code base[1,2]: > M I C R O S O F T H A C K ! > It turns out that the Mac Office (2008) rolled their own solution to roots. The X509Anchors file used to hold the roots in old versions of OSX. This was an implementation detail and was NOT part of the API set. Unfortunately, Microsoft used the keychain directly instead of using the supplied APIs. When the X509Anchors file was removed, it broke Mac Office. So this file is now supplied to keep Office from breaking. It is NEVER updated and there is no code to update this file. We REALLY should see if this is still necessary [1] https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... [2] https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/security_certific...

I can't know what "-dirty" implies, but https://github.com/jqlang/jq/commit/cff5336 is a pretty random commit from 2022 :-( https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... hasn't been updated with a "jq" directory yet

> Memory pressure is an internal macOS system metric Interesting. That'll probably mean it's in the source code Apple publishes for macOS: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... Doing a search for the phrase "memory pressure" in the containing organisation (apple-oss-distributions) shows some relevant stuff: https://github.com/search?q=org%3Aapple-oss-distributions+%2... • memorystatus.md : https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/94d3b452... # Memorystatus Subsystem Dealing with memory pressure by forcibly recovering pages. (etc) • memory_pressure.1 : https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/system_cmds/blob/... Looks like the man page for a `memory_pressure` command • freezer.md : https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/blob/94d3b452... # Freezer Details of how so

Partially: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-iOS I'm not sure how it all fits together but people have even made an open source distribution of the base of darwin, the underlying OS: https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin

I thought Apple open sourced parts of it? "Darwin"? https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...

I get the utility of a laptop that runs 20 hours on battery and slips in the side pocket of my carry-on or shoulder bag. (The Mac can also split between RAM and GPU.) Mixtral 8x22 and Llama 3 70b stream at roughly the same speed as last year's GPT-4. > closed up MacOS https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... curl https://alx.sh | sh https://asahilinux.org/ I prefer the "utility" of BSDs, but that's just a preference.

Every Christmas break I always hope I'll have the emotional energy to dig back into https://github.com/PureDarwin/PureDarwin#readme and see if I can get it to boot, even on VirtualBox, let alone some hackintosh friendly hardware like OP did I am super, super cognizant that the devil's in the proverbial details, but they sure do seem to publish a lot of macOS into the open <https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...> so my interest is to map out the parts that are missing I'm also aware that Darling exists (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38423469 ) but if it's anything like Wine -- no, thank you. The only reason Wine (and their CrossOver friends) are required to exist is because there's no suitable open source release of Windows, so emulating the bugs is glucose cheaper. I had high hopes for ReactOS when I w

Yes, this is pretty interesting: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO... … with links to 174 submodules. But for the uninitiated, this might appear as nothing.

They're submodules. The actual code is there: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO...

Darwin is open source. Here's the repo for their kernel: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/xnu/tree/main. The userspace stuff can be found here: https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/distribution-macO.... Some stuff that's missing from those links, such as launchd, can be found here: https://github.com/apple-opensource?tab=repositories
