Whelp. It finally happened. After years of precautions, following CDC guidelines, etc. I finally contracted COVID. Feels like I got ran over by a bus; seriously, if any of you didn't think so before I can confirm firsthand the symptoms are no joke.

How to write good code: 1: Write crap code 2: Organize a standards body 3: Use your crap code as a reference implementation of your standard 4: Wait for everyone to adopt your new standard 5: Now everyone uses your reference implementation and assumes it's good code

#RAZER Synapse, which is automatically installed when plugging in a Razer peripheral, has a heinous memory leak which allocates fs buffers in the kernel nonpaged pool and never releases them... I just watched 64GB of RAM get eaten in 12 minutes; hooray! Thanks for that

Apparently I can't have a simple IP camera work for more than a day or two before I have to break out the soldering iron and mess with half-baked embedded firmware...
