The explicit expectation with the AUR has always been that you can't blindly trust the PKGBUILD files. It's more like running an installer from a random website on Windows than it …

Lots of comments are also massively overestimating the amount of time/effort that creating this setup required.

The new latest version (commit 806789e4d454b, 307 bytes) should also work. It no longer sets p_memsz to something unreasonably large, which was most likely the issue with the 301-b…

I fixed the most likely culprit now (excessively large p_memsz value). It cost a few bytes; the new executable size is 307 bytes.

Looks like I may have stretched what values are acceptable for p_filesz/p_memsz too far. What's your kernel version? (I tested it on 6.8.0 and 4.4.0.) Perhaps the 316-byte version …

GP is likely referring to how fields in the ELF and program header are abused for instructions and data in a way that happens to not break things on Linux.

If the savings are about `mov $1, %edi` and `mov $10, %ecx`, those 32-bit immediate values line up with the higher bytes of p_filesz and p_memsz in the program header, which have t…

My terminal "warns" about them thanks to using a bitmap font that has no (significant?) Unicode coverage beyond code points 0 to 255.

This seems like it would be great together with a pair of display glasses (like those from XREAL, for example). But I wish it had a TrackPoint.

Sad to see GPT-4.5 being gone. It knew things. More than any other model I'm aware of.

Such a nefarious package could also read browser cookies, SSH keys, emails, photos, and a million of other things.

That depends on the messenger app. Telegram, for instance, supports backing up messages as HTML and/or JSON.

This system seems quite similar to sending messages to oneself on Signal/Telegram/whatever. What I like about using messenger apps is that every note gets a timestamp and that mess…

There are screen-locking programs that don't hide what's on the screen (for example `alock` and `xtrlock`). So you can use one of those in a script that also launches this tool.

Good point. Perhaps we could store the length of the common prefix from the last time we went left as well as from the last time we went right. The minimum of those two should rema…

You don't need to compare the whole key most of the time. I think the amortized cost for a comparison is in O(1).

What's better about the T440 compared to the successors up to the T480? I'd consider the T440 a low point due to the lack of TrackPoint buttons.
