Rust

CtrlAssist – an open source project to bring more accessible, collaborative gaming to Linux! Inspired by PC gaming sessions with my own family, where both young and old relish exploring rich stories with immersive worlds (like Witcher 3, RDR3, Hogwarts Legacy, etc) but find coordinated combat or movement control too challenging to play solo, CtrlAssist lets you combine multiple controllers into one virtual gamepad, much like assist features on dedicated game consoles.

Whether your helping grandparents through tough boss fights, or co-oping with nieces and nephews to level age gaps, CtrlAssist aims to make PC gaming on Linux fun and accessible for everyone. While I’m certain similar utilities exist, I also just wanted a holiday hobby project to practice Rust development while scratching a personal itch.

Please give it a try, share your feedback in the relevant discussion categories, or check out the open issues if you’d like to contribute, help is always welcome!

Hello everyone, i recently published a post about this app launcher (https://programming.dev/post/41551778) and i released version 0.2.0

Many useful features have been added, such as a configuration file and custom themes, and performance has improved

Ram usage is ~20 mb

Here are some highlights of the app launcher:

 Starts up in about ~0.1-0.2s

 Written using the Iced GUI framework

 Supports navigation using arrows

Alex Gaynor recently announced he is formally stepping down as one of the maintainers of the Rust for Linux kernel code with the removal patch now queued for merging in Linux 6.19.

Alex Gaynor was one of the original developers to experiment with Rust code for Linux kernel modules. He's drifted away from Rust Linux kernel development for a while due to lack of time and is now formally stepping down as a listed co-maintainer of the Rust code. After Wedson Almeida Filho stepped down last year as a Rust co-maintainer, this now leaves Rust For Linux project leader Miguel Ojeda as the sole official maintainer of the code while there are several Rust code reviewers.

I've been experimenting a bit with Rust and seeing what I can get to work and what I can't.

I've been able to mostly recreate the Django workflow using these programs: actix web, tera, and butane.

Butane seems to be the least mature out of all of them, and has also given me the most trouble. That said, it's still the closest thing that I can find to Django's ORM.

I'm just letting you guys know in case you're interested and want to try it out.

The Wild linker is a very speedy linker written in the Rust programming language that has become quite competitive with the likes of Mold. A patch sent out this weekend adds Wild support for use with the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

The patch adds support for GCC for using the Wild linker with the compiler's "--with-ld" option for specifying the linker. This patch for Wild has been successfully tested with the "vast majority" of tests passing.

Introducing YT-Feeds.

I was looking for an ultra lightweight YouTube client that would allow me to avoid the algorithm, clickbait thumbnails, and AI generated comment sections. After months of work, and getting side tracked many times, YT-Feeds was born. It can be found on GitHub, but is available on the AUR, and can be installed with binstall, github releases, or via cargo directly.

It is built in Rust with no graphical framework. It functions entirely on key binds and the design philosophy is to have only one page to view at any time.

Features List:

• Fast startup and navigation
• Uses minimal resources (under 1 Mb RAM!)
• Distraction and short form content free
• Allows for searching/subscribing/unsubscribing channels
• Automatically tracks and resumes watch history locally
• Shows recent videos from subscriptions organized by date
• Groups subscriptions into a collective "feed" organized by date
• Categorize and view videos in the 'watch later' menu
• Never requires leaving the terminal or using your mouse
• Cross platform support for ARM and x86_64 Windows, MacOS, and Linux

Note: I expect there to be bugs in the future - feel free to submit an issue and I will get to it when I can find the time.

For example, is there any problems with doing this?

fn main() {  
	static mut BUF: [u8; 0x400] = [0; 0x400];  
	let buf = &mut unsafe { BUF };  
}  

and is this code the same as just using an array directly? From my understanding local variables get put on the stack but do the static variables do too?

I'm essentially trying to find the most performant way to get a simple read/write buffer.
