My love for Linus Torvalds (the creator of Linux) grows evermore.

Woo got Linux working! On a related note I have gotten over any fear of breaking things through the command line and also can now roll back to an earlier system backup. Yes those are related. In my defense, breaking things in interesting ways is a great way to figure out what's actually going wrong.

Crowdstrike directly calls out Microsoft in their latest incident report and its SO FUNNY. Its perfect condescending corpo speak and I love it.
People on Twitter: Why on earth does Crowdstrike need Windows kernel access ?!?!?!
Crowdstrike: because Windows sucks ass

fun Linux kernel programming fact: if your function returns a pointer you can still return a negative integer value to indicate that an error has occurred because virtual memory addresses don't use the high bits of a pointer.
This is explicitly supported by the macros in include/linux/err.h

I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why the new kernel I installed wasn't showing up in GRUB. It tends to help if I actually have the grub-mkconfig command actually output to grub.cfg so GRUB will recognize it.

I decided to take a break from making radio to brush up on my programming so my new project is a usb to telegraph adapter.
I never wrote any device drivers, or did anything with kernel before so it seems fun
(my first attempt at a simple kernel module :P)
