    You shouldn't have to do that.

    Just your buddy AI to look at the code and report any flaws.

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    In Steam... ;)

    (I hammer on it with Elite Dangerous Odyssey.)

    But you know, that's a good question. I just run it on my
    daily driver. I should run "crashme" (assuming it's still around).

    Incidentally, updated video drivers to latest beta.

    And finally: someone tell Loco Larry to speak English, please.

    I upgraded the Fedora box to 44 beta. Another bleeding edge but not for
    the kernel.

    I'll say this much: I appreciate that vallor is testing these things for
    the good of the whole community, because I no longer have the patience
    to even bother with the final product. I don't know how many times I
    have to try it out and be disappointed by something broken before my
    habit is diagnosed as a serious mental illness.

    Either way, kudos to vallor.

    It's those idiotic security "features."

    In this case we see the insertion of a random value (canary)
    into the stack frame.

    With my highly tuned kernel this bullshit would never happen.

    The smart GNU/Linux user disables ALL security. It is useless
    excess baggage that degrades performance.

    You are, by far, the worst advocate for Linux to ever post
    here.

    You carry your bowels in your head, and the resulting
    effluvia just pours forth into your newsreader.

    Hardly.

    My 12-year-old Core i7-4770 nearly smoked the Apple M2 of
    Melzzz on the scimark4 benchmark. In fact, he was so
    flustered that he accused me of fabricating the results.

    If I had been using a distro system I would have been left
    in the dust.

    Security. Performance. Pick any one.
