🎮👻 OMG, kids were apparently scared by a "haunted" N64 game cartridge! Because clearly, when it comes to ghost #stories, #poltergeists love nothing more than to chill inside retro gaming hardware. Next up: a gripping expose on the cursed Tamagotchi epidemic. 📟👻

Today I learned: If you don't add (require 'server) before calling (daemonp), your Emacs daemon will silently hang.
The thing I don't actually want to learn at all, ever.
It took 3 hours to debug, I found solution completely accidentially: just forgot to remove it, when was playing with (server-running-p).

Wikipedia on disadvantages of sparse files:
"Loading executables on 32 bit Windows (exe or dll) which are sparse takes a much longer time since the file cannot be memory mapped in the limited 4 GB address space, and are not cached as there is no codepath for caching 32 bit sparse executables"Who thought "I will make a dll that's full of 0 bytes, and let the filesystem handle it as a sparse file" could possibly be a solution to their problem?

So we have:
- RAMFS pretending to be mass storage
- a compatibility layer pretending to be BCPL over POSIX
- MorphOS reimplementing Amiga reimplementing BCPL
- vvfat pretending to be a disk with a fat partition on top of that
- a plugin pretending to be the X-Mass hardware
- the X-Mass hretending to be a spinning disk when it's an SSD
- unidos pretending to be amsdos
- amsdos making the disk access behave like a tapedrive
- finally, the user application running ontop of all this -

This is "throw away or label Cursed Tech" month in my house. Finally threw away a bunch of unformattable SD cards killed by my rpi that couldn't come back to life even using deep magic, and labeled the Cursed Bluetooth Keyboard That Hates Linux that looks identical to the Blessed Bluetooth Keyboard that Loves Linux. #declutter #cursedtech
