A Harrowing Tale That Explains Why Everyone on Mastodon Needs to Get Off It Right Now / Post.
I have never had my social media account at any social media platform suspended. But it just happened at Mastodon, a place I have posted so few times that I canpost.news
There was this thread yesterday:

Shoq (@shoq@mastodon.social)
Attached: 1 image Typical Seth Abramson Rather than ask friends to ask @Gargron or his admin, he just goes off in public. It was probably a mistake, just as mine was. He blocks all his many critics. Heaven forbid someone should block him back.Mastodon

Content warning: linux scheduler hate
i do not like the linux scheduler
it's apparently so much more advanced than the plan9 one
but on plan9 you could legit execute a fork bomb and things would run fairly smoothly until you run out of procs, and even then things would only partially break.
Content warning: really weird linux bug
hey i'm pretty sure linux processes aren't supposed to be cooperatively scheduled?
i've had an issue recently where if a process enters an infinite loop which doesn't perform a syscall, the whole system just grinds to a halt and i have to do a hard reboot.
when i boot i get a message about firmware bugs and TS_DEADLINE being disabled, may be related?
is there an actual issue with the old polyam flag besides "i don't like the colors" and "why is pi there"?
yeah you wouldn't necessarily know it was a polyam flag just by looking at it, but that's the case with most pride flags.
