72Also @noisytoot@mice.tel in case chinchillas eat the cables
(I don't remember if they finally fixed that or if libera disabling failed login notifications by default just made people stop complaining)

@ellie also lack of good support for multi-codepoint glyphs: nothing can agree on the width (various terminal emulators and terminal-using programs all disagree), which results in my terminal getting messed up every time someone uses a multi-codepoint emoji on IRC. lots of stuff uses wcwidth, which is insufficient for proper unicode support

noisytoot@ellie terminfo and its database being wrong. there is no correct entry for konsole: with TERM=konsole-256color, clear doesn’t clear scrollback (because the escape code to do that is missing), and with TERM=xterm-256color that works but some other stuff is broken (I forgot what)
even if I fixed this locally, it would still be broken and need to be updated on every system I SSH to

at least bootguard is broken on that generation so in a few years someone will probably port coreboot to it and you'll be able to bypass it that way (or if you ever want to port coreboot, I can help)

noisytootHow come reading the boot flash (with flashprog -p internal -r test.rom) succeeds on my server even though I should have /dev/mem protection enabled (kernel compiled with CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM=y, and not booted with iomem=relaxed), but not on my laptop or any other device I tried on?
