The explicit expectation with the AUR has always been that you can't blindly trust the PKGBUILD files. It's more like running an installer from a random website on Windows than it is to using official distro repositories. I think the wiki also always advised against using AUR helper tools that blur the lines between official repositories and the AUR.

Lots of comments are also massively overestimating the amount of time/effort that creating this setup required.

The new latest version (commit 806789e4d454b, 307 bytes) should also work. It no longer sets p_memsz to something unreasonably large, which was most likely the issue with the 301-byte and 298-byte versions from a few days ago.

I fixed the most likely culprit now (excessively large p_memsz value). It cost a few bytes; the new executable size is 307 bytes.

Looks like I may have stretched what values are acceptable for p_filesz/p_memsz too far. What's your kernel version? (I tested it on 6.8.0 and 4.4.0.) Perhaps the 316-byte version at commit 451827cfd5399074 (before that particular hack was introduced) would work.

GP is likely referring to how fields in the ELF and program header are abused for instructions and data in a way that happens to not break things on Linux.

My terminal "warns" about them thanks to using a bitmap font that has no (significant?) Unicode coverage beyond code points 0 to 255.

This seems like it would be great together with a pair of display glasses (like those from XREAL, for example). But I wish it had a TrackPoint.

Sad to see GPT-4.5 being gone. It knew things. More than any other model I'm aware of.
