This time it's arcane timezone shit, particularly the missing day at the boundary where Samoa crossed/moved the international dateline.

Without knowing it, musl actually was already following the POSIX-future requirements for how dates on the nonexistent day get normalized. glibc was found to have a wacky bug misinterpreting dates even just *near* the nonexistent day. 🙃

It's always hilarious when a thread that starts out as "musl has a bug!" ends up finding that nearly every implementation but #musl has a bug (all different, no less!)

@aris It is, but this distills it down to something that is easy to understand by most people.

Who is the threat actor?

What do they want?

Why do they want it?

Developers should make "abuser stories" a thing.

"As an stalker,

I want to track my ex's every move,

so that I can 'coincidentally' run into them at any time."

"As a thief,

I want to be able to reset passwords using SMS verification,

so that I can compromise any account by bribing a telco employee."

@gremlins the wiki literally starts with "Not to be confused with a plaid fabric." I wash my hnads in innocence

help my partner keeps mixing up flannel and plaid, and while i understand *why* how am i supposed to describe flannel texture except for "plaid pants when they're new but only the flannel ones not the regular cotton ones"

@eater NOT to be confused!!!!! NOT! DON'T CONFUSE THEM

you silly creature

Azure: you're running Windows, you hate yourself, probably both
Google: you have transcended beyond such earthly requirements as "customer service" or "services that don't get deprecated in three years"
Hetzner: you run a herd of carefully groomed pets and not cattle
OVH: wot is dis "uptime" ov which u speek
Oracle: lol
Some Guy LLC: I would rather sign up with Oracle

I don't know why this happens so often

screen space reflections reflect things that are visible on the screen

the things a mirror should show are explicitly not things that are on the screen

Shutdown reminder!

With just 2 weeks left until the Nintendo Network shutdown, we'd like to take this time to remind everyone that we are accepting network packet dumps for all games, for both the Wii U and 3DS! These packet dumps give us a glimpse into how the games operated when the official servers were still online. While technically possible to do without these dumps, having reference material like this will make the job of making replacement servers FAR easier once these servers go offline!

This is ESPECIALLY true for more obscure/less popular games, and games which have custom additions to them. Having network dumps for smaller games is just as, if not more, important than the bigger ones as we'd likely have much less reference material for them! We know everyone is excited to help get the big names going, but we can't forget the little guys either!

That being said, we appreciate ALL users who help us with this crowd sourcing! We have gotten a LOT of amazing data from everyone so far, all of which will definitely help us moving forward.

For those interested in contributing network packet dumps, see our guide on our website here https://pretendo.network/docs/network-dumps. This page also includes a section listing some games we consider "high priority", though these are NOT the only games we still need data for.

For those curious about our current network dump stats, so far we have:

• 99 HokakuCafe dumps (specifically Wii U)
• 528 HokakuCTR dumps (specifically 3DS)
• 15 general WireShark dumps (applies to both consoles)
• 65 general proxy dumps (applies to both consoles)

NOTE: These numbers come from the number of network packet dumps submitted through the Bandwidth upload command, and may not represent the real total number of dumps submitted.
