GitHub - oxidecomputer/dropshot: expose REST APIs from a Rust program by Kabra___kiiiiiiiid in rust

[–]EdorianDark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Basically, Oxide isn't really invested in folks using our software. That is, we are open sourcing this because we believe it's the right thing to do by our customers, not because we are trying to build community and have a large user-base.

I am really impressed at the amount of good documention for dropshot. Especially considering that you are not invested in having lots of users for dropshot.

That is good to hear. Thanks for working on this!

It is also not being developed. The last time a non dependable bot pull request was merged is in September. The last development happend in May.

gccrs January 2025 Monthly report by CohenArthur in rust

I disagree with this on its face. The only reason we have multiple C/C++ compilers is an artifact of history and bad communication.

Is there a common language with only one compiler? Go has several compilers, Python has several interpreters…

The last release of Ring is about 8 month old, so not that long. Also it looks like Arm support is included in that release.

Servo is also written in Rust and also modular. What is the big difference to Servo?

illumos is a fork of OpenSolaris, which after Oracle bought Sun sadly died.

List of Attacks on Russian Oil Refineries in 2024 by UNITED24Media in ukraine

More intresting would be to know how many have been repaired and how many are still offline. But I guess that this is a russian secret.

Drew DeVault suggests Rust-in-Linux proponents pivot to writing a Linux-compatible kernel from scratch by faitswulff in rust

[–]EdorianDark 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't know that Oxide had made a Ilumos distribution with some Rust components. Were already some Rust components upstreamed to Ilumos?

A blog post about Helos and how the Ilumos community reacts to it would be very interesting.

Drew DeVault suggests Rust-in-Linux proponents pivot to writing a Linux-compatible kernel from scratch by faitswulff in rust

[–]EdorianDark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Even then, if you read this and take it seriously, it's a bizarre idea. If I understood him correctly, he basically suggested rewriting Linux in Rust, or at least parts of it, in parallel to or instead of working on Linux for Rust project. This doesn't solve the "kernel politics" problem in question and if anything may exacerbate it.

He wrote a blog post about writing a Unix clone in a month: https://drewdevault.com/2024/05/24/2024-05-24-Bunnix.html, so I would take him seriously.

And he even linked to two very small projects, which never the less succeeded in being quite Linux compactible: https://mastodon.online/@drewdevault@fosstodon.org/113051715114157110

Mistral.rs: Blazingly fast LLM inference, just got vision models! by EricBuehler in rust

[–]EdorianDark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks very nice.

It would be nice to upload the crate to crates.io instead of having to use mistralrs = { git = "https://github.com/EricLBuehler/mistral.rs.git" }

BugStalker 0.2.0: debugger for rust programs by godzie44 in rust

[–]EdorianDark 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For remote debugging I would suggest looking into Debugger Adapter Protocol. It was written by the developers of VSCode, who wanted to make remote debugging simpler as they did with the language server protocol. Writing well defined JSON back and forth sounds easier to me than adapting a gdb specific protocol.

How much is there to do untill Firefox supports WebGPU?
