@SuperSelena64 Happened to me as well, would have been nice with a deadzone setting in the system menus as a workaround.

One of the neat things about the IBM Selectric typewriter is that it has interchangeable "typeballs" for different fonts/languages. And now someone figured out how to 3D print custom ones, so now you can type on a Selectric in Comic Sans. https://www.printables.com/model/441233-comic-sans-typeball-for-the-ibm-selectric-typewrit

@loke Maybe you can use waitpid() instead of sending a message through the pipe?
When using fork() it can be non-intuitive how execution is handled going forward (at least it was for me): "On success, the PID of the child process is returned in the parent, and 0 is returned in the child." If you want to use waitpid() (and its macros) then do that in the parent.

Welp. I now have proof that Facebook is using the same outbound IP addresses for both A) scraping web sites for "AI" training and B) fetching images from my site when I use the official API to post to Instagram.
This means that I can either defend myself from injuriously voracious AI scrapers, or have a functional business Instagram account, but not both.
Not just the same subnets. The same IPs.

Added an SSD to my 18 year old ThinkPad, installed Debian 13 and the thing just _flies_ along. Physically weighs a small pile of bricks. But still actually useful!
@skeletor Makes sense, politicians who failed science creates most of the conspiracies.
