Weirdest #bug ever.

I have #podman with an open shell sitting in the background.
Every couple of hours, it jumps to 100% CPU for absolutely no reason. Even when the screen is locked and I'm away.

Until I press enter in the shell.

I've never seen a shell come to life for absolutely no reason before. I'm not even sure how I'd start #debugging it.

Good news Homebrew friends! :) Now bmputil-cli has a formulae you can use to install it. This should simplify things especially for those that manage a lab with a bunch of machines! :) All you need to do is run `brew install blackmagic-debug/blackmagic/bmputil-cli` and profit! github.com/blackmagic-debug/ho #opensource #debugging #embedded #electronics #rust #macos #homebrew

#Debugging a #RTL8821CU USB WiFi/Bluetooth dongle that gets stuck in CD-ROM (with Windows drivers) mode. Trying to eject using usb_modeswitch **only** works if you hotplug the device (does not work if you boot with the device plugged). I have been capturing USB traffic and both with and without hotplugging, the device is sent exactly the same SCSI command to eject, but in the boot plugged case, it just timeouts, while with hotplugging, it is instantly honored.

🐍 Decode Any Python Code With This 5-Step Method

「 It’s rare to write all the original code in an application yourself, and even rarer for an application to be completely rewritten from scratch. More likely, your workflow will involve working with code that was written by someone else (who may no longer be available to explain it) and iterated on by others (who also might be out of reach) long before it ever appears on your screen 」
