  • It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

    It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.








  • I’ve had those errors on my system for years. I never thought that they were NixOS specific. I just assumed something to do with a buggy firmware:

    Enabled 4 GPEs in block 00 to 1F
    ACPI Error: Aborting method \_SB.PCI0.GPP2.PTXH.RHUB.POT3._PLD due to previous error (AE_AML_UNINITIALIZED_ELEMENT) (20240322/psparse-529)
    [x~20]
    ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (domain 0000 [bus 00-ff])
    

    I don’t notice any ill-effects from them, so it may be a red herring. I have a:

    $ < /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/board_name
    ROG STRIX B450-F GAMING
    

    with a 5900X.

    I don’t usually see as many prints as you have there, but it’s quite a few, and the number seems to vary (grow?) over time. I keep meaning to investigate it, but haven’t got around to it.

    I think you should keep looking in your logs for other problems. If you can share the full log I’d be happy to take a look.













  • The right was never dominating the polls. They had ~30%. It was always going to play out this way. The doom and gloom was that actual fascists had 30% of the vote.

    It was only individual candidates being encouraged to drop out strategically.

    France has a slightly less shitty electoral system than e.g. UK, US, Canada, so a party with 30% was never going to win absolute power.

    Edit: when I say “it was always going to play out this way” l just mean the right weren’t going to win a majority. The left still seems to have done surprisingly well in the second round.

    Also, it’s still shitty that the fascists won so many seats…
