This is it for a while. I cannot work on this directly any more until I find a job. I have 3ish months left for rent and food then I'm homeless. I can't even pay down my credit card at this point. Maybe I sacrificed too much, but it was needed. My ideas are relevant: They need to diffuse. Thanks.

[cctmp] Success! It took all day, but I have initial support for a compile time virtual machine. It runs this code [see image]. No fancy TMP tricks, just a lot of classic C++ designed for constexpr.

One simple trick to make your Ubuntu more stable! I had a lot of application issues with my laptop Ryzen GPU. Uninstalling mesa-va-drivers fixed many issues. I thought this might help someone else out. https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6855 Maybe broke other things...?
