How fitting and wonderful that we manifest something truly like a fantasy world.

Oh, I’ve read of such problems, they’re ancient but still haunt some even now after the downfall of stackoverflow.

Are there known solutions or packages I can install?

Not amongst us or on these platforms. Nay perhaps not even on this protocol. Grey beards and 90s hackers you must seek, those whose craft comes from before the .com bubble and even Keanu Reeves. Many secrets they know that have since been lost and much of our ways do they shun.

Where can I find these hackers?

If they still wield their keyboards, you may find them in Newsgroups.

What URL will guide me the way?

Oh My child, URLs will not help you. You must learn to navigate the Usenet and its Newsgroups. Come, Drægōnëḏgelôṟḏ will show you the way.
