History

Cross Keys is located south of the former Montgomery and West Point Railroad.[2] The community was named in honor of Cross Keys, South Carolina, the birthplace of early setter J. H. Howard.[3] A post office operated under the name Cross Keys from 1837 to 1906.[4] The community was formerly home to a high school.[5]

gollark: So I should work out some way to live-patch the kernel to increase the amount of signal-safe functions?
gollark: ```c#include <stdio.h>#include <signal.h>#include <string.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <sys/mman.h>#include <unistd.h>static void handler(int sig, siginfo_t *info, void *literally_bee) { printf("oh bee oh apio segfault %08x\n", info->si_addr); int ps = getpagesize(); long ad = (long)info->si_addr; ad = ad - (ad % ps); mmap((void*)ad, 0x10000, PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0);}int main() { struct sigaction sa; sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_NODEFER; sa.sa_sigaction = handler; sigaction(SIGSEGV, &sa, NULL); *(int*)NULL = -3; printf("thing done\n"); return 0;}```
gollark: Unfortunately, mmap appears to be uncooperative.
gollark: I wanted to implement coral's `idea: trap segfaults and mmap data at the erroring position`.
gollark: 🐝 that, safety = 🐝.
