  • Content Caching in macOS VM under Proxmox
    2 projects | /r/Proxmox | 19 Dec 2022
    Apologies if this is the wrong place to post this - I have searched the whole Internet and cannot find any help, and Hackintosh community laughed me off for using macOS VMs at all. I have a macOS (tried Mojave 10.14.6, Catalina 10.15.7 and Big Sur 11.6.2) virtual machine created using this guide: https://www.nicksherlock.com/2020/06/installing-macos-big-sur-on-proxmox/ (and the respective ones for Mojave and Catalina). My whole purpose of the VM is to serve as a local software update cache. But I cannot get Content Caching to work - it says "Registration Rejected" in the logs. I'm aware Apple blocks Content Caching from being used on virtual machines - however I have tried the kernel patch from https://github.com/ofawx/VmAssetCacheEnable and the other patch (for macOS 11.3 and newer) from https://github.com/acidanthera/RestrictEvents. Both do their job of erasing the VM compatibility block, and I do not get any related errors, but when I try to enable Content Caching, it says "Content Caching is temporarily unavailable" an in the Console logs it says "Failed to create context -44006" followed by "Registration Rejected".

  • Successful Ryzentosh laptop (HP 245 G8)
    3 projects | /r/hackintosh | 25 Jul 2023
    What works: - CPU power management using this kext. Battery life is not great, but I haven't checked what can be done to improve it yet. - USB tethering from an Android phone as a workaround for having Wi-Fi since iOS only allows to do USB tethering with mobile data. If you need it as well, check this kext out. - Hardware acceleration thanks to NootedRed. - iServices. - Built-in speakers. - All USB ports. - HDMI video. - Ethernet. - Keyboard. - Trackpad.

    This isn't true, trulyspinach has a power management kext for AMD that brings performance to pretty much being identical to Windows with the Core Performance Boost feature. Or you can just force the CPU into the P0 state. https://github.com/trulyspinach/SMCAMDProcessor/releases
