Ok, #FediHelp hive mind, if you had to #repair a broken plate with a glue that was dishwasher and food safe, what glue would you use? #BoostsWelcome

EDIT: DAP makes a ceramic glue that is dishwasher/microwave safe and nontoxic. I think I'm probably going to try that first. Thanks to everyone who had suggestions! And thanks to @westerling for the tip!

I can hardly believe it, but I actually just unbricked an old SSD that was "broken" for years using this guide: https://www.computerlounge.it/posts/how-to-unbrick-sandforce-ssd

(Yes, I actually installed Fedora 14 on a spare computer for this.)

So now that we all understand that thanklessly relying on free work of overworked maintainers is a problem, how about we put our money where our mouth is?

I think @AndresFreundTec needs a fat bonus check for saving our asses.

And Lasse Collin needs a lot of support, and probably a nice vacation.

I pledge $100, for starters.

Now how can we make sure to send the funds to the correct people?

Or is there already any fundraiser that I missed?

We got a human-submitted, AI-generated PR for @pillow that claimed to speedup an internal function by 54%.

It presented no benchmark script, so I benchmarked and found no noticeable improvement.

The PR claimed the "new optimized code was tested for correctness" and offered some "Generated Regression Tests" that it declared passed.

I ran them. After fixing an import error, the tests failed for both the PR and main.

No thank you, Codeflash AI.
