I used, for debian based systems:

  printf "# CVE-2026-31431\nblacklist algif_aead\ninstall algif_aead /bin/false\n" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-algif_aead.conf >/dev/null && sudo update-initramfs -u

Like a highway brake failure ramp, you have room for handling failures gentler. So services don't just get outright killed. If you monitor your swap usage, any usage of swap gives you early warning that your services require more memory already.

Gives you some time to upgrade, or tune services before it goes ka-boom.

If there isn't a way to get pass more than a few days, regardless of any choices made, the one lesson simulator is giving is "there's no way an autistic developer can last a few days without burning out". Or from a coworker's perspective: "my coworker is struggling, but there's nothing I can do to prevent burn out in my coworker".

Perhaps tune the choices, and the effects to have a net neutral bonus and penalties to have a longer gameplay loop. Having random weights to the actions might work as well.

There's also "diskonaut", a TUI which displays the output like the treemap of WinDirStat. Bonus is that the display is incremental and updates as it scans everything, so you don't need to wait for the complete scan to see how everything looks like.

Written in Rust, and it's a `cargo install diskonaut` away if you have the rust toolchain installed.

For my daily use, Firefox needs built-in passkey support. Can't switch for all uses yet. In the meantime, I'm running both.

It's from Diamond Age, alluding to a character (YT) that was from Snow Crash.

Whoa, another (ex?) jed user in the wild. I still install it on new servers, and that was how other admins know if I was ever there. Smaller and faster than installing emacs.

NNCP (Bellard's prelude to ts_zip, using similar techniques) is not qualified for Hutter Prize, btw, because hardware and speed limitations specified by Hutter Prize.

"Must run in ≲50 hours using a single CPU core and <10GB RAM and <100GB HDD on our test machine." Which is an Intel Core i7-620M

There's Fabrice Bellard's textsynth server. https://bellard.org/ts_server/

No open source though.

I guess that's why the .zip format chucks its catalog index at the end of the archive. But it's still unnatural to use in a streaming format like tapes though.

What's fun is that the recent references to LoRA stands for Low-Rank Adaptation [1], not Low-Resource Adapters[2] (??? don't know if this even exists), but because Low-Rank Adaptation came out in 2021, chatgpt only explains what Low-Resource Adapters is, not Low-Rank Adaptation, which is what is being used in recent break throughs.

My own questioning of chatgpt on LoRA returns "Logistic Regression Algorithm" instead. Looks like it's too new to ChatGPT.

Just a separate rules file that blocks .in and other popular domains for India will probably work just as well.

You have some of the empty lat, lon data (e.g. AWS GovCloud (US)) interpreted as at (lat,lon) = (0,0), putting them incorrectly on Null Island.

One new way for swatting.

Send or otherwise inject problematic images to the target, but make sure the target can't see it (image too small, part of larger collage), but their device does. The target gets flagged by Apple for having CSAM.

The target gets FBI'd.

Too bad it's a video. Fast forward about 2 minutes.

Fly plane. Zig zag. 5 cameras, then photogrammetry. StreetView, from planes.

I'm not quite sure mmap is such a good idea if you're trying to have more low-level control over performance. Weird Carmack advocating this, because you can't really guarantee the latency of grabbing any resource if you incur a fault and need to grab it from disk.
