It's been some time since I needed to connect my old NAS device with a TTL-232R-3V3 cable to use with a serial terminal. I tried hard to find what order the wires were, but then remembered I had posted to debian-arm myself and found my own photos from 2018! Success! The terminal which is partly shown is indeed coming from the wires.

I'm trying to debug malloc failures that started on March 9th 5am for no apparent reason, after 5 hourly process restart.

I realized that despite my privacy oriented interests this cat has actually been out of the bag already for 13 years (https://boingboing.net/2011/11/07/bug-report-simultaneous-cat-and-external-keyboard-input-causing-kernel-panic.html).

So, the #kernelcat of 2011 is going strong in 2024, continuing its quest to find #Linux kernel bugs by conducting diligent work by lying on heated keyboards aka laptops. What a dedication to a purpose!
