GL.iNet GL-RM1 Comet KVM over IP

20 Apr 2026 18:39 | macOS | security | exploits

I bought one of these recently at the suggestion of Casey Liss of atp.fm.

Firstly I will say it's a great device, very useful and has native Tailscale support. I got the non-PoE version which is slightly different to the one that was recommended on ATP but it's nonetheless very good.

MacOS Tahoe rounded corner fix

21 Feb 2026 20:26 | macOS

I couldn't cope with those corners anymore. This requires disabling SIP but it makes the corners like Sequoia system-wide. I don't like to disable SIP but those corners hurt my eyes too much. Enough is enough. This uses DYLD injection to patch the NSThemeFrame methods that determine the corner radius.

It seemed a shame that the night mode on the latest WatchOS was so good yet we're stuck with the same display in sleep mode. So I made my own focus mode, used Shortcuts automations to make it activate with the sleep schedule and made a custom watch face in night mode.

Remotely executing shortcuts on iOS

6 Feb 2026 19:21 | apple | apple watch | iOS | iphone

This isn't an exploit, I just wanted to be able to execute a shortcut on iOS via a remote trigger. Specifically I wanted to dynamically change the complications on my Apple watch depending on context, for example if I have calendar events later today then show the calendar as a complication but if I don't then show something else.

Stateful workout shortcut

17 Jan 2026 20:52 | apple watch

I made a stateful shortcut for the Apple Watch Ultra action button: Stateful Workout Shortcut

It starts an outdoor walk workout and then enables the water lock to avoid humidity from my clothing causing unexpected inputs. Press the action button again and it stops the workout and disables the water lock.

Not sure why the action button works while water locked but it's very handy, I hope they don't change that.
