gollark: <@498244879894315027> Firstly, you could probably try and just use some existing packet capture tool for this. Secondly, seriously what are you doing?! I don't think trying to replay IP or Ethernet packets (whatever gets sent to the network card) has any chance of working to meddle with a higher-level service.
gollark: I suspect it's whatever you're doing to bptr after each broadcast. That looks dubious and the log says it's a "loadprohibited" error, which sounds like something memory.
gollark: I don't think this affects *me* very badly, since my configured disk encryption all runs in software without any weird TPM interaction, I don't use "secure" boot, and it seems like this would need physical access or unrealistically good timing, but it's still not very good.
gollark: I wonder if AMD's PSP has similar holes. In any case, they should really just not be sticking subprocessors with closed-source non-user-modifiable firmware and root access into every CPU.
gollark: I don't think there's a reason they couldn't other than bad performance. Which might require you to turn down quality, increase bitrate, decrease resolution/framerate or whatever else.
