Compactor is my Windows filesystem compression tool, good for clawing back space wasted by poorly-compressed games without having to faff about with the command line. I have a full rewrite in the pipeline that I'm procrastinating on.
ioztat is basically what zfs iostat
would be if it existed — an iostat for ZFS datasets, rather than ZFS vdevs. It was born out of a script from Reddit's /r/zfs and in a slightly obsessive period I rewrote and expanded it into a pretty capable tool I'm quite proud of.
If you have any experience packaging software for your favourite Linux distribution — well, I'm a FreeBSD user, so please knock yourself out. I'm begging you.
num_threads is a tiny foundational Rust crate, most notably used by time
in order to determine if it's safe to make certain syscalls. I have implementations for Open, Net, and DragonFlyBSD that I've been procrastinating on merging, because blessing unsafe
code for platforms I don't use is scary. Moral support is welcomed.
I just finished chapter 1 of Cory Doctorow's Attack Surface. I want to read more, which is always a good sign!
