I assume you have already tried the official tutorials, but Go By Example is a great "learn by doing" kind of tutorial. Others that I found in a quick DDG search:

For anyone who is confused: This is exploiting an old soundness bug in the Rust compiler that is still present. The GitHub issue page has this comment from maintainers:

we already had a crate published on crates.io before which used this bug to transmute in safe code, see #25860 (comment).

this issue is a priority to fix for the types team and has been so for years now. there is a reason for why it is not yet fixed. fixing it relies on where-bounds on binders which are blocked on the next-generation trait solver. we are actively working on this and cannot fix the unsoundness before it's done.

To be honest, you can say the same about any large cloud provider. What happens if AWS, or Azure, or Google Cloud go down, or become terrible?

This is probably not the solution you are looking for, given your opinion of the company, but I wonder if using their 1.1.1.1 app (which acts as a mini VPN to a Cloudflare endpoint and changes your public IP) would fix that for you. The upside is it's free, the downside is that it is a Cloudflare-run VPN.

You might look into displaying images in the terminal as well; many modern terminals support showing actual images natively

Yep; sometimes I will be able to do a search and then when I try to click on a result it has me restart.

For anyone who is still confused about what causes this: Firefox launches copies of itself when creating new website instances (usually when loading a website that has not already been loaded). Because of this, if it is updated in the background (through any means; I usually see this after a manual system update), Firefox has to restart when you try and load a new site because it cannot create any compatible copies of itself, since the old version is the one that is still running and the copies would use the new (updated) version.

The solution is to only update when Firefox is closed, or restart it when it asks.

I believe you are correct; if the unsafe code can cause undefined behavior if input data is not following a specific contract, then the entire function should be labeled unsafe so the caller knows that.

The other option is to check to make sure the contract is valid, and return an error or panic if it is not. That function would be sound, as no inputs cause undefined behavior.

They said bcachefs; I don't think BTRFS has it, at least not since I last checked.

Actually looking forward to the btrfs swapfile hibernation; I have tried setting it up on my machine before but the documentation was never clear on whether it would work (or why mine wasn't).

Check out Ollama and its extensions for VSCode; might save you some money paying for other services if your computer can run models locally.

Unfortunately, I don't have experience with mangohud. Does Legacy work without it? And does mangohud work with other games?

 

I've been interested in trying a custom mechanical keyboard, but I already have a 60% (maybe 65%?) keyboard that I don't have any issues with, so I thought making a numpad or macro pad would be a good (and maybe cheaper) alternative. I've been having a hard time finding any that don't require a soldering iron and are less than $70ish.

Any good budget suggestions? I am up for assembling or disassembling things (or even programming), I just don't have a soldering iron.

 

I made This old setup a couple of years ago that was (nearly) fully automated with Pywal. I don't think I have the source for most of it anymore, but here is what I remember using:

WM: xmonad
Terminal: Alacritty + fish + starship
Bar: Polybar
App launcher: Rofi, based on adi1090x's themes
Clock widget: Conky, using a custom background made in Inkscape
Text editor: Micro / VSCode
Firefox theme: blurredfox
Spotify theme: spicetify
