LXD uses dnsmasq to provide DHCP and DNS for containers I think? Viable container escape?

I delete the third party libraries and replace them with my own clean checkouts.

I was trying out an IDE plugin for local LLM integration, but it would just make totally insane edits instead of what I asked for.

It turned out that the LLM-runner's default setting for handling queries that were too long was to silently delete the middle of the query. So the LLM saw the beginning of my ask, and the tail end of the code context, and nothing else.

I've run Japanese windows software under Wine, and with no configuration it was a sea of crashy mojibake. With the right locale configured, it worked fine.

It's all in aid of some streetsweeper being able to add "contributor to X, Y, Z projects!" to their GitHub résumé. Before LLMs were a thing I also received worthless spelling-incorrection pull requests with the same aim.

This means you should still have the email from legal@, right? In that case you can solve the mystery of how they managed to pass DMARC by sharing the headers from it.
