What is a good strategy when having a C project and you'd want to start converting subportions of it to Rust? The project in question uses just plain makefiles and glibc.

Looking for some idiomatic patterns if such have been invented and documented.

#rustlang #posix

@vbabka do no get threat scenario but this is luckily quite functional extension for TB to write emails: https://github.com/Frederick888/external-editor-revived. There's external program in addition to extension but it is easy to setup. If you launch it without parameters it will tell you where to place a simple js file, of which contents it also outputs and after that TB takes care of launching it when it needs it

With email the threat scenario is mostly emails themselves and I cannot 100% guarantee that I do not fall on phishing unless I use text based email client :-)

And you can easily use it for generating extra wave cycles for saw too...

Linus might be willing to drop support for i486-class machines[1] from the .

No, nobody asked for that directly; he brought that up in a discussion himself: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-%3DwhESMW2v0cd0Ye%2BAnV0Hp9j%2BMm4BO2xJo93eQcC1xghUA@mail.gmail.com/

[1] and a couple of processors which _claimed_ to be Pentium class, but weren't

@mkelly Yes, exactly. It sort of makes the hardware fit for the exact purpose you are using it :-)

@vbabka it is corporate 365 with all sorts of things blocked that usually work. No app passwords, no EWS, apparently they check client ID/password for TB because e.g. Evolution does not work.

I like to have also one Mac at home. It is pretty good for comparative testing e.g. with syscalls and also compiling ARM kernels (and testing them without having to use SBC's). To add, I don't want to focus on configuration when I make music and Linux is anyway my construction site. Nobody wants to spend 247 at work I guess :-)

I even had one Windows machine at some point but it required more maintaining than my other machines, NAS, network router etc. added together so I gave up on that... And Windows has also worst audio stack of the industry: the native one is pure garbage so there is proprietary ASIO stack that everyone uses from Steinberg, which results a trainwreck system overally.

Why people say that Linux audio sucks had nothing to do with kernel, it was just that low-latency audio was not well supported up until the uncrowned genius of multimedia Wim Taymans fixed the issue with Pipewire. Today in kernel/middleware level has hands down the best audio stack that there exists. I mean even in macOS you have to install 3rd party proprietary product called Loopback to be able to route audio like you can do with Pipewire.

this is more like workflow optimization than being geeky :-) pretty much same tools every single day and probably many years to come and dedicated computer for work.... also it is nice that if you ramp up a new system i can also deploy my desktop configuration along with other dotfiles fast.

In my work (or more like home office) desktop I started to use #sway (#i3 #wayland replica). Works for that really well, would not put it to my casual/studio desktop tho (which is mac mini anyway). i.e. you can use it make your console like you had your power plant or something :-) my friend tuomo.wrote the original #ion3 window manager, which influenced this and few others back in the day.

more direct ion3 derivative also continues to live on as https://notionwm.net/ and i've heard that there is also wayland replica of this.

@wamserma i give up for the time being and continue from this some day. without going to details got somewhere but still something is glitching :-)

for #thunderbird it would be a nice addon/feature if it could play the role of IMAP/SMTP server itself. and at the same time sort of "corporate safe" way to access. and (almost) zeroconf

@monsieuricon did you cc already btw? did not see anything but that said no rush. i had troubles to do a kernel tree to github :-) only way i managed to do that was to first fork linus' mirror and then push the delta from my tree but yeah i have a tree ready.
