This is currently happening to me and I hate it.
Something between linux kernel 6.2 (working) and 6.7 (broken) and all I have at best is a generic warning message that yields just a few results and all are unrelated.
Hah… I used to search up an issue and see my own unanswered question on reddit as the first result. ಠ_ಠ
Kinda relevant XKCD
thought about it, too!
(and… not sure if it’s Jerboa, but the image appears emoji-sized to me. a bite-sized comic, hehe)
So so so much worse when the comment is deleted and OP replies “thanks!”
OP: “Nevermind, I figured it out on my own. Thanks anyway.” and doesn’t share what they did drives me up the wall.
I have this exact problem.
Edit: nvm, found the solution
You’re just the worst, you know that?
Found the answer to this here

The moment I find something even remotely useful for a problem I faced and solved, I am saving it on the Internet Archive.
And I try to not be DenverCoder9Source
Thank you for your service o7
I rely on Internet archive a hell of a lot
Remember kids: If you find a solution to a problem nobody on Google (or your search engine of choice) seems to has, put it as a blog post on your site!
Or you can ask on SO. Then close it with “nvm, fixed”.
Or you can explain it to a SO until you realise what’s wrong yourself
A pet or rubber duck will do if you don’t have a SO handy
Or you can explain it to a SO
Yeah that’s usually the expression they end up with by the end
You describe your problem in the forum.
Moderator: “use Google, there is an answer to your question”
Google only gives you a link to your own thread in the forum.
Any one else getting this crash? Edit: Don’t worry guys I fixed it
More like when you Google and half the solutions you find contradict themselves, with some of the responses to the solutions discussing the dangers.
Im finding this more prevalent now as ai can answer a lot of the questions hence other people are getting solutions without the need to ask. Then my ai has problems cos it googles the answer and has to make shit up and idk if its hallucinating or not.
for me when that happens, it usually turns out to be a simple but stupid mistake on my end
Just post that the answer is simple:
can (root; split) for - 1 =sam if (all “null”) then (n = n+1)
Watch the rage answers roll in.
You just need to spend a few hours trying weirder and unique ways to frame the issue and you might find the answer.
Hate it when I search an issue and the only other person with the same problem is me 5 years ago and I didn’t figure it out then either.
I think it’s worse when they say they found a solution and include a link which is now dead.
With Google dropping its archive I feel like dead links are going to be more and more common.
Even worse in my opinion is when you find someone who had the same problem as you and the only person who replies says “use google.” It’s like that’s how I got to this page!
I hate the ones that are just “open a case” and then they close the thread without saying what the fix ended up being, looking at you Veeam forums.
So many of my searches lead to Microsoft forums where my exact issue is posted, MS asks for more information, then some auto-mod closes the issue because there wasn’t any further follow up and they can’t replicate it.
And it always marks the damn “thank you for contacting Microsoft” post as “the answer”
Every. Damn. Time.
“I’ll upload a patch later this week” 12 years ago
aww you beat me to it.
Or: Plenty of people have the problem, but nobody has figured it out.
And: Stack Overflow agrees that this is a dumb thing to want to do, anyway.
Or it’s a bug that was reported 5 years ago with 165 votes and somehow still not fixed
time to learn assembly *cracks knuckles*
