@FSMaxB I.e. I can put that then to RwLock<Foo> field in a struct. I tested and it worked! It might be also that I sometimes have redone some of e.g. cell functionality with PhantomData, i.e. I'm using "atoms" instead of "molecules" and thus I might be blind for the need perhaps... Still would be nice to see e.g. a presentation that would actually nail these (not a Rustbro Youtube tutorial video crap but something more in-depth).

@brauner @corbet @kernellogger @jann I'm doing most of my new code outside kernel and doing mostly fixes and reviews inside kernel ATM. The current cycle gives me opportunity to downscale and upscale my own contribution, not a lot but just enough.
Putting the release cycle too tight would make at first the life more difficult for independent kernel maintainers like me.
I've also noticed that the current window is great for big features, which need to fly for few weeks to get somewhat decent release quality. I might put a feature to Linus in the first PR and notice some actual problem at rc5/rc6. This would be a risk factor too.

@FSMaxB LOL I often use this search to find out what I might want to use from Rust library: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/?search=from_raw :D
I tend to end up to doing something in the edge of what Rust mm understands internally so having that tools is always value in robustness.

I regularly use Lazy from https://docs.rs/spin/latest/spin/lazy/struct.Lazy.html to do lazy initialization so I guess I've missed the std options.
I can actually think of one possible use case for Arc that would stick and I might need to do that. If I understand these primitives correctly Box and Arc have different ways on how they die:
1. Box: drop + free
2. Arc: drop
So for e.g. syscall reserved resource you might want to use Arc inside struct instead of Box. Both have a nice helper "from_raw" for raw memory.

@SeanOMik And also: I don't think there is much to agree on with me as I don't understand what they actually are. So going specifics with one cell type is not really the answer here, neither is how much you happen to use them. I.e. not a popularity vote...

@SeanOMik I rarely use Arc, and rather end up using e.g. RwLock or something. It does not end up to be the best option often in the end. So yeah have to admit that it is also fuzzy... And I really just don't get so far any of the cell types. I can admit that I don't understand them :-)

pid_eins@mastodon.social8️⃣ Here's the 8th post highlighting key new features of the upcoming v257 release of systemd.
A longer time ago systemd introduced JSON based user records as an extension of classic UNIX `struct passwd`. These records can be provided via Varlink IPC or via drop-in files. The much richer set of account settings is documented here:

OK, good because I've been wondering this sometimes.
I also wonder if customer service knows this:
1. https://amazonforum.my.site.com/s/question/0D56Q0000DFHPH0SQP/audiobook-no-longer-running-in-kindle-app
2. https://uk.amazonforum.com/s/question/0D56Q0000B7awIkSQI/unable-to-download-audiobook-title-on-kindle-paperwhite-and-kindle-app
Bunch of hits can be found where it is not clearly stated that "no it does not and will not work on the Kindle device." At most you have to be able to read it in-between the lines. I had my first Kindle device in 2010 or 2011 and I have faint memory that it could at least text-to-speech books but have not been able to find that option either in my current Kindle...

@lkundrak @oleksandr there is Windows version of mc but with FMs i prefer ”designed for OS” because RW of files is sensitive and corner case mined activity.

My recommended list of crates for baremetal, firmware and no_std alike programming:
- https://github.com/rcore-os/buddy_system_allocator
- https://github.com/Lokathor/tinyvec
- https://github.com/google/zerocopy/
- https://github.com/rust-embedded/heapless
- https://github.com/KokaKiwi/rust-hex
- https://github.com/de-vri-es/serial2-rs
- https://github.com/m4b/goblin
- https://github.com/gimli-rs/gimli
This is a list of crates, which I've actually used and found them useful over time. I've not done kernel code (yet) in Rus. Instead I've worked on two bytecode (with JIT) hosts, i.e. Enarx (wasm) and now with PolkaVM (previously wasm but I'm working on riscv32emac derivative which is the next generation). And right, I'm implemented a crate for zmodem (see zmodem2) ;-)
The crate that I'm not yet sure because have not been able to do yet stuff that I'd want to do with it is:
https://github.com/rust-vmm/vm-memory
I.e. use it for special mapping but with no VMM involved (my uses cases actually involve both with and without VM containers). So looking into that over time. E.g. Paolo is involved with this so I expect it to be quality, and rather contribute than look for other option.
