Some high end GPUs are being bricked by a new game: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/evga-replacing-all-dead-rtx-3090s-from-new-world Sounds like it draws too much power, then something overheats or dies internally. Hardware dying from software seems really old fashioned, so it's interesting to see it happen on modern components.

I've written difftastic packaging instructions: https://difftastic.wilfred.me.uk/packaging_difftastic.html The different distros have taken different approaches, so I'm trying to help with common gotchas — don't forget the man page! Feedback welcome, especially if you've ever packaged something 🙂

I really like the MELPA model of packaging directly from git. It solves the problem of forgetting to release something -- just merge a PR and you're done. It also makes version number bumps much less important.
