    Hi,
    I'm writing this, because this problem has caused me quite a bit of time of my life.
    I recently installed the Vulkan drivers to test out some of the emulators supporting it. By that I updated a lot of packages, including the Mesa GL drivers to 24.2.8.
    I then started to notice, that emulators depending on X11/GL (like supermodel, bigpemu) started to behave very sluggish. After some digging I found that the ~/.local/share/X11/Xorg.0.log file filled up with lots of entrys of modeset(0). Some internet digging resulted in this thread. Here, a possible solution in downgrading and holding the drivers to 23.2.1 is proposed. I did that, and the problems are indeed gone.
    Now, it seems when reading through the Github and other threads, that not everyone seems to be affected (and the error - so far - was not reproduced officially.
    I just wanted to make you aware, that there might be problems in the recent Mesa GL drivers under X11 and that there is at least a temporal solution.

    @Lolonois, thanks for the link!

    Also, to those interested, RSS, from what I can see, is surprisingly common, despite not being very talked about, and it also helps a bunch with having everything in a single feed, with how fragmented internet is. This very thread has one, the signal icon to the right of views at the top. =)

    Also, there are other places I have found that provide emulation news and that include RSS feeds. Of the places I found, there are sites such as the Reddit alternatives (Mbin, Lemmy and PieFed-powered ones, for example), Twitter (indirectly through Nitter) and most of its competitors, Youtube of all places, Odysee, Peertube-powered sites, and so on. And from what someone told me, apparently Wordpress has RSS natively, but I still need to confirm it.

    Ok... made some progress and want to share my insights.

    If you want to use different than the default pins to connect the powerblock to the rpi you should NOT use the range of GPIO1 to GPIO8 for the status pin. These are per default driven HIGH. The others (including the defaults used by power block) are driven LOW. I tried to change that behaviour using the gpio=... and gpio_poweroff=... commands in config.txt without full success. After switching now to GPIO9 and GPIO25 the power block works (I disables SPI just to be sure because GPIO25 belongs to SPI per default).

    There has been a fair amount of forum spam in recent months.
