Fun stuff: VisiOn kernel has a memory-leak. Clicking the menu ~200 times in any app results in running out of memory, and eventually the system crashes. The easiest way to replicate the bug is to press "Esc" down (it will send the Escape key event over and over); it won't even do anything, just redraw the menu.

:D Please, don't let me fix a 42-year-old bug in an OS :D

Edit: it is a memory leak caused by the "display beeps as screen flashes" function :D

"memory nearly full, click SELECT, then quit some windows!"

> Linux is still working better than it ever has in its history for gaming. And if more users grit their teeth through some of the initial learning pains we think that might mean that we can kind of escape from some of the Windows issues as a community and we'd count that as a win. Just know what you're getting into.

This is the biggest W for gaming since... ever. Well done

I'm thinking about how it now seems clear this particular fascist moment will end, this particular movement will fall, but I'm thinking about all the forms of horrible harm that will be locked-in forever and go uncommented on. I am thinking about this because KOSA has been reintroduced in the House.

Sometimes surprises come when you least expect them. A few months ago, I helped an acquaintance install a router at his house. He is very happy with it; it does excellent load balancing and failover over 4G.
A little while ago, he sent me a message about how "Back to Home" helped him bypass the limited connection at the hotel he is currently in.

I hadn't tried it yet, so I did a couple of tests.

It's really practical and quick to set up. Well done, MikroTik! @mikrotik

Surprise features in Toot v26.0: The experimental features menu. Deep down in the settings menu, there is now an entry for experimental features. This is a place where I can put things that I have been working on but that I haven't had the opportunity to finish for one reason or another, or things that are somewhat useful but lack proper polish and maybe aren't worth the work.

Currently, this has some questionable things in it, and one actual major feature...

By default, Mastodon prevents you seeing a boosted post again until 40 other posts have flowed through your timeline. There is more info at:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-stop-seeing

The 40 number is hardcoded into the Mastodon server software and currently cannot be altered. It seems to have worked better in the days when Mastodon was much quieter.

If you're comfortable using Github, you can vote for this number to be adjustable at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

Our kids' school has a sign up thingy for parents to volunteer to do something.
I like they aren't using form or spreadsheet for this, but I don't like that they're using a third party sign up platform that has lots of ads and even trying to upsell to sign up for some other events unrelated to the school.

It's free but at a cost of something else.

I imagine this problem is not unique to my kids' school. But how can we come up with a better school web infrastructure to support these things? 🙁
