A PowerShell script that installs Linux alongside Windows without a USB stick, stated in one honest sentence. Instantly usable by anyone dual-booting; the risk is that a partitioning mistake is expensive, so back up first.

Geolocates an audio recording from aircraft Doppler shift plus historical flight tracks: a rare, checkable idea far beyond typical audio-forensics wrappers. Useful for acoustics and OSINT people, but it needs matching flight data and only works for the seconds a plane passes.
A tool to geolocate audio recordings using aircraft Doppler shifts and historical flight tracks.

Per-process VRAM and GPU activity across Windows, Linux and WSL, plus LLM model and KV-cache insight, filling the gap between nvidia-smi and Task Manager. Usable immediately; the caveat is uneven platform coverage, especially AMD and WSL paths.
A GPU task manager for Windows, Linux, and WSL: per-process VRAM, GPU activity, and LLM model/KV-cache insights (Windows AMD and NVIDIA).

Statically recompiles 32-bit Windows Black Ops II to ARM64 macOS via Remill, a hand-written Win32 runtime and D3D11 on Metal, shipping no game files. A rare complete case in the static-recompilation wave; you still need your own copy.
Call of Duty: Black Ops II statically recompiled from 32-bit x86 Windows to native ARM64 macOS: Remill → LLVM IR, a hand-written Win32 runtime, Direct3D 11 drawn by Metal. No Wine, no game files.

Documents that musl OpenSSH has accepted any 257+ character password for passwordless accounts since 2016, with check script, PoC and patch. Narrow blast radius, but fully verifiable by any sysadmin.

A fail-closed task orchestrator that fences epochs and rejects late completions, with precise vocabulary and a tight scope that signals real distributed-scheduling scars. Good for anyone building queues; still too undocumented to replace existing schedulers.
Fail-closed swarm orchestration with epoch-fenced work and late-completion rejection.

Bundles ddrescue-style imaging, partition detection, NTFS deleted-file recovery and carving into one portable Windows/Linux tool with a clear scope. Value shows up the moment a disk fails; whether it beats testdisk and photorec depends on recovery rates.
Rescue data from failing drives: ddrescue-style imaging, partition detection, NTFS recovery incl. deleted files, and file carving. Portable for Windows and Linux.

Static recompilation of GTA IV 1.0.8.0 for Apple Silicon with a Metal renderer, TAA and a hundred community fixes. Technically dense and honestly described; the ceiling is a fiddly install and one supported patch version.
GTA IV (PC 1.0.8.0) statically recompiled for Apple silicon Macs: Metal renderer, TAA, Game Mode, ~100 FusionFix/ZolikaPatch fixes. Build it from your own copy; no game data included.

Lets a model watch your screen cheaply: frames are filtered by change and tiled into one image, so static screens cost almost no tokens. Directly useful for desktop agents; it only solves sampling, not understanding or action.
Let AI see your screen in real time: filter frames by amount of change, stitch multiple frames into one image, static screens cost almost no tokens

Statistically recompiles Xbox Soulcalibur II into native macOS, Linux and Windows builds, explicitly requiring your own disc image. A rare full sample for PowerPC-to-native porting work; players still need the game and docs are English-only.
Soulcalibur II (Xbox) as a native port for macOS, Linux/Steam Deck and Windows, with Link and Heihachi from your own discs
