Im Detail lag die Datei in einem Verzeichnis mit Mode 1777 (sticky Bit am Verzeichnis gesetzt), die zu schreibende Datei gehörte nicht dem der Schreiben wollte/sollte - ein Prozess unter einer anderen UserID. Die Datei war mit Absicht Mode 666 (rw-rw-rw-) eben damit geschrieben werden kann, Standard unter Unix seit zigzig Jahren.

Apparently steel gets brittle from cold at much higher temperatures than I previously thought. It was maybe -12°C when I broke several bits (from different sets/makes) in a row before giving up. Some of these had driven hundreds of screws before, so they weren't made of cheese.

Ants Pants mentioned this in a video and I didn't believe it because I thought cold embrittlement wasn't a thing until -70°C or thereabouts. 🤷
