Thinking of being brave and trying a new de/wm.

Suggestions? ^^

Everyone initially told me they wanted the installer to look good in any DE. Might ignored the adwaita hints :P
nothing to see here

Think I've finally lost the plot
Following up on the new planner module in the #disksrs partitioning crate, we've added the initial `strategy` module for computing disk use strategies including wiping the disk and starting anew, using free extents, etc.

Apparently we're doing the whole (proper) #introduction thing, I blame @soller.dev ^^

I'm Ikey Doherty. Yesterday was my last day at MZLA, where I was a Staff Software Engineer improving #Thunderbird. I'm also the guy that enabled #rustlang and a bunch of cool engineers to deliver better.

Our legacy D infra carries the old D impl of our binary format. The rust version is our canonical truth, where new features happen.

In parallel to this tarkah has enabled a C FFI bridge for external tools to understand our archive format, tested with libarchive.
Much props to tarkah, our core rusty dev, for converting the first part of our infrastructure to rust.

Importantly, that component is vessel, our repository manager. This is a critical step in enabling versioned repositories, using the rust stone format implementation.

Seeing the work going on over at Red Hat with bootc, perhaps the guys would be interested in combining forces?

OK, we've formed a plan of action for versioned repositories. To facilitate the transition, we'll convert the currently used repo into an rsync target and repoint infra / tooling to new subdomain, enabling interim "syncs"

Then in time, new infra comes up, and old moss updated for versioning

So liberating to not post on the platform of that parasitic arserash anymore.

Shits starting to feel like a rerun of Continuum.

Anyway, I'm Ikey Doherty. I was never quiet, then I was, now I'm not. o_O
