Why do we change the cluster size when formatting USB drives for storing GameCube games?

For loading GC Games with USBLoaderGX via DiosMios/Nintendont, format your usb drive's primary partition as FAT32 with 32KB clusters (also known as blocks). This increases performance by reducing the NUMBER of transactions required to perform a read/write operation at the expense of the (very negligible) LENGTH of time to complete a transaction; since it's reading more data per transaction.

I'm not certain, since I can't find a GameCube disk specification, but I don't think the 32KB cluster size is an attempt to imitate the on-disk storage format of retail GameCube discs; which may or may not be 32KB. Retail Wii discs however, actually DO use 32KB clusters. As far as I can tell, 32KB is simply the highest density of bytes per cluster that is supported by FAT32 and of course, by extension, Wii homebrew storage libraries.

Importing Hand-Rolled C Header Files in LLDB

Scenario

• We're debugging a dylib, libhello.dylib
• The dylib is linked from hello
• The exported function is helloworld()
• We do not have source, but have reversed a struct from the library and created a hand-crafted header file

Making a UEFI bootable iPXE USB drive

Build the UEFI executable for iPXE

# First we'll clone iPXE
$ git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
# Go into the src directory of the cloned git repo
$ cd ipxe/src
# Compile the UEFI iPXE executable

Background

The current verison of NodeJS hardcodes the path where perf data is written when the --perf-basic-prof flag is used.

https://github.com/v8/v8/blob/061c2ab23a1d4cd192b935e7912e7dfb1fed845d/src/log.cc#L236

At Pinterest, /tmp has limited capacity and so we weren't able to utilize perf data to troubleshoot NodeJS without filling the disk and crashing the running system.

How to patch

First I'll copy the system node binary to my local directory so this set of actions isn't destructive to the running system:
