i can't articulate why but it feels like it was way easier to find games (not necessarily meaning where to download them, but rather discovery) for emulation or flashcarts years ago before the trend of "just download a full dump pack". i was finding a new game to put on my DS every week or so, now i just have a faceless list of names and decision paralysis

The coreutils Rust rewrite story is pretty funny.
Coreutils are tools like rm, mv, mkdir, etc. Unlike binutils, this isn't a fertile ground for memory safety bugs. But, the rewrite was completed, and in the spirit of progress, Canonical decided to switch.
But do you know what coreutils are a fertile ground for? Race conditions around file creation, deletion, permission setting, and so on. The original code accounted for decades of hard-learned lessons in that space. The Rust rewrite did not:

PS. I'm not dunking on Rust. It's just that... starting over from scratch has its hidden costs.

There is no Notepad++ for any Mac, but a vibe-coded port and its sloperator "author" want you to believe otherwise.

Ah, the #copyfail clickbait posts are coming. Here’s my contribution. On your Linux machine add
initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init
to your kernel boot commandline (typically in grub). Reboot. You are now safe until the updated kernel packages become available. For distributions with the `grubby` command this is done as root with
# grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="initcall_blacklist=algif_aead_init"
This mitigation comes courtesy of Red Hat. Our engineers keep you safe :)

@atax1a will take a look when i can, thanks
@atax1a i suspect if there's anything i could do to fix this at all it would have to be told to me by someone who understands better what's happening, sorry
@atax1a i'm not sure what i did influenced this at all and it could be something up with the chumby servers, but Duane hasn't said anything about it. FWIW my chumby is displaying the weather channel right now without issue
@atax1a in that case the widget isn't loading at all, and i wonder if you're having the issue i was having, which i don't know what it is: https://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?pid=59254#p59254
@atax1a could you expand on "the blue screen" then please
@atax1a hang on, are you talkign about the unsubscribed clock
@atax1a
get into its ssh: https://wiki.chumby.com/index.php?title=Chumby_tricks#Open_a_secure_shell_.28SSH.29_console_on_the_chumby
then stop the control panel and start it from shell so you can see its output:

@atax1a i'd have to see the trace output to know why it's failing to load info, maybe
@selectric nothing made me realise the scale of the world quite as much as 14 hour transatlantic flights. and then being in awe that i woke up on the other side of the planet
