I remember learning about ELF files first because that’s how you’d run pirated PS2 games. Funny how my insatiable appetite for games in my teens resulted in learning so much about Linux executable files and eventually it seemed inevitable that I should just learn to code.

We once called that “image activation” before the Industry was taken over by human LLMs in the wake of the dot-com crash.

Oh, nice. Did not know that executable image processing had moved to user space. Does this eliminate kernel crashes from malformed executables?
