Just in case you have this driver installed:
$ kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
com.bresink.driver.BRESINKx86Monitoring (9.0)
[WayBack] Hardware Monitor Help shows how to remove it:
- Ensure you are logged in as user with administrative rights.
- Use the Finder to open the folder Library at the topmost level of your system volume, and inside it, the folder StartupItems. If the driver is still installed, you will see the folder BRESINKx86Monitoring at this location.
- Drag the folder BRESINKx86Monitoring to the Trash. OS X may ask for your administrator password.

CompuLab 4K Display Emulator (fit-Headless 4K)
The MacMini is a bit dumb as it won’t enable the GPU when there is no display attached. Which means headless operation is cumbersome as display rendering is very slow.
There are a few tricks of which the off-the-shelve HDMI solutions work best.
You can buy them at Amazon:
CompuLab Display Emulator (fit-Headless)
Sources:
Basically the trick to simulate a monitor with a dummy load works for other display connectors as well (most of them work fine with 75 ohm resistors, usually a bit lower or higher works just as well):

I’ve not tracked down the cause yet, but these seem to be related:
I’ve “fixed” 4. by doing this as recommended at osx – Copy and Cut sometimes don’t work – Ask Different:
launchctl list | grep com.apple.pboardIf the pboard daemon is running, then stop and start it. If it’s not running, start it:
launchctl stop com.apple.pboard launchctl start com.apple.pboard
Now 4. works again if I restart each application, 6. still works, but these applications still cannot copy/paste to 1. 2. and 3.
What does work is a full reboot, but that takes a while (especially Chrome re-loading lots of Windows: I need to get more organised here).
It might be that I need to restart each application in 6.
Grrr…..

One day I need to research how to get the conversions right for this: How do I Check DHCP Lease info in terminal – Ars Technica OpenForum as I think that ipconfig getoption en0 lease_time gives me the value in a different format than date -r expects.
Also:
At T1 seconds (typically set to 0.5*lease_time) after the last successful renewal, the DHCP client attempts to renew it’s lease with the DHCP server that granted it’s current address via unicast. If unsuccessful, at T2 seconds (typically set to 0.875*lease_time) after the last renewal, the DHCP client attempts to rebind with any DHCP server via multicast.

You can use this package to install OS X on an empty partition, but perhaps more interestingly, you can also use it to upgrade existing OS X installations to a newer version of the OS X. There are many tools and workflows that support the installation of Apple packages; you can use these together with an OS X installation package to upgrade machines to the latest version of OS X.This is especially interesting when used with tools like Munki — you can automate the upgrade of a group of machines while still preserving user data, or offer an upgrade as a “Self-Service”-type option where a user can initiate an OS X upgrade themselves without needing to have administrative rights.
I will probably need this one day.

I needed a second instance of Atom to run on a second monitor:
open -n /Applications/Atom.app
Or even shorter:
open -na Atom
I got there via: Launch & Run Multiple Instances of Any Application in Mac OS X
The reason is that searching for Mac OS X start second Atom instance does not reveal satisfactory results, as the tips in these links all fail:
