It is nice they looked at #rust and found it good for #Linux, but may limit what platforms #Linux can run on. Curious what that means for #IOT, which I think tends to have little resources when compared to amd64.
I saw this post here on sdf/mastodon from a #NetBSD developer and it nicely explains why #rust as it is now is not really good for use on some systems:
Linux 7.0 Officially Concluding The Rust Experiment - Phoronix
｢ formally concluding the "Rust experiment" with upstream kernel developers now in acceptance that Rust for the Linux kernel is here to stay ｣

Help shape the direction of farg by participating in the first RFC
Since some people have asked me if I they could collaborate on my rust IPS work, I decided to publish the Repo now on @Codeberg
https://codeberg.org/Toasterson/ips
Note: illumos is the main OS using this package manager but we should make this available for many operatingsystems as we can,
Happy if someone makes ipsOS based on linux aswell. (Please choose a better name though)
The Goal is to bring the IPS innovations to as many people as possible.

🦀 Deep dive into Turso, the "SQLite rewrite in Rust" // Sylvain Kerkour
I'm working through the #Rust book. Three things so far:
if only accepts actual Booleans, and not anything looking truthly/falselyI'm a Python guy, and Rust is so amusingly different, I need to consciously think about all the things that for me are muscle memory in the language I am used to.
If any of you are looking to hire an excellent remote Rustacian, then please do reach out @savanni.
She’s a gifted programmer, a clear-thinker, and a great collaborator.
Working closely with Savanni was the highlight of my year at 1Password.

Slides from my #wayland input method presentation are up now!
https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/MVVELP-wayland_input_method_wrap_up/
I'm impressed by the new activity on input methods! Is that the usual post-talk excitement, or will things switch to a new gear?
We'll know in a week or so. Thank you all anyway :)

☀️ OpenIndiana Is Porting Solaris' IPS Package Management To Rust - Phoronix
｢ The key takeaway is with the future IPS "pkg6" is porting the code over to Rust in the name of better performance than the C/Python implementation, better safety due to the Rust guarantees, modernizing the codebase, and API improvements ｣

You can now learn how Roto's integration with Rust works under the hood from the comfort of your own home (instead of a very crowded campus), because my FOSDEM talk has been published!
Props to the @fosdem team for publishing the videos so quickly! It's very impressive!
