Installing Komplete in Wine to use with the AWESOME tool yabridge has a big pain point The .iso applications will not install because they do not mount correctly https://github.com/robbert-vdh/yabridge#known-issues-and-fixes The fix here is fine but there's one gotcha: The documentation says that you should take two steps to install the packages with wine: udisksctl loop-setup -f ~/Downloads/<filename>.iso # load the .iso file udisksctl mount -t udf -o unhide -b /dev/loopX # where /dev/loopX corresponds to the loop device printed by the loop-setup The problem is that in Fedora 39 once you create the loop device it will automount.

(org-table-create-and-insert-reference "hello") -> "hello" (org-table-create-and-insert-reference "") -> "nil" (org-table-create-and-insert-reference nil) -> "nil"

I was lucky enough to get to compete in the Northsec CTF this weekend with the cold_root team. We ended up placing 4th out of 88 teams. There was a ton of awesome (and maddening) challenges and plenty of Malört consumed. The challenges showed up on a fantasy themed forum: Scammed Again The first thing I did was go to the web page to find that it was a chat dialogue with an enchanter named….
