Has anyone ever looked into adding reflink support to tmpfs? Seems like a natural fit, but I haven't found any mentions of it.
This would allow for "copying" a tmpfs file without taking up any additional space. It would also work really well when using tmpfs with overlayfs.

Relatedly, I love that rustfmt can stack opening/closing constructs like this:
field,
otherfield: value,

The social value of rustfmt and the default Rust style is absolutely incredible. I saw someone the other day talking about the annoyance of having people reformat other people's code in a PR and do so differently/inconsistently. And I had this reaction of "...oh, yeah, that used to be a thing that came up". Huge appreciation for the #rustlang rustfmt team for all their work.

It is possible to simultaneously say "we shouldn't do this at all" and "if we do this we should do it better / with better principles / more ethically / etc". One does not invalidate the other.

Has anyone worked on a Linux mechanism to control whether USB-C power delivery is a source or a sink, ideally with integration into GNOME's UI?

Sometimes the choice of library A over library B is obvious from seeing just a few interactions each with the maintainers of the two libraries.

I am once again wishing that UPS (and other shippers) provided live tracking information showing where the truck is with the package on it. They have that information; displaying it would make successfully receiving a package much easier.
(I also wish they'd stop creating incentives for drivers to leave "we missed you" notes without actually ringing the bell or waiting.)

Periodic reminder that path dependence is pervasive. Many structures and solutions we have today are artifacts of the paths we took to arrive at them, and of problems we once had and may not currently have, and are not what we might have had if we designed from scratch.
It's worth periodically thinking about how you'd design something from scratch. You can't always throw something away in favor of a rewrite, but you can think about whether you can incrementally work towards something better, and about which aspects the iterated embodiments of solutions to past problems are still important and which aren't.

If you want or need a different Fediverse instance, https://togethr.party/ will host a personal or small group instance for you for a very reasonable cost. No more worrying about the future of your instance. Recommended.

I found a claim from Mozilla, in Bugzilla, that they're using it for MDN for testing purposes, but the claim gives me no confidence or trust that that's the only site.

Everyone's piling on Mozilla about the new advertising/tracking API added in Firefox 128 (and good, by all means let's keep it up until that API goes away), but has anyone managed to figure out the specific sites/domains the origin trial is enabled for? Perhaps we can get the next round of articles to include them in the negative press cycle. Let's make sure the next potential "partner" for an advertising/tracking "feature" decides it's too high-risk to touch because they don't want the potential blowback.

For anyone who might need it, here's a simple template for an email introduction between people you know who don't know each other (e.g. job referral, or connecting two people who may want to work together on something):
Person A (first name), meet Person B (full name). Person B (has this role), and (reasons why they have a need for something Person A can offer).
Person B (first name), meet Person A (full name). Person A is (how you know person A), and (reasons you can vouch for why they would be a great fit for what Person B needs).

Last year's RustConf was one of the best COVID-safe conferences available: they required vaccination, testing, and masking. Unfortunately, this year's RustConf has completely discarded all of those safety precautions, and abdicated all responsibility in favor of "we're doing what local law requires". Deeply disappointing.

We should have a browser API for in-window modal dialogs using HTML.
That way, the browser can offer control and uniformity over them, such as making them subject to adblockers, making them uniformly closable with Esc, and so on.

One of the reasons some companies are so eagerly embracing AI: their business model was "obtain lots of free users, ..., profit", and they discovered that "sell/use user data for AI training" is a step 2 that works in the short term. This isn't new, they were eager to sell user data before, but now they have hungry, wealthy buyers.
