  • Can we stop referring to the “what color is your function” post for languages it doesn’t apply for? Contrary to Javascript (where it does apply), Rust with tokio has adapters for both async -> sync (Runtime::spawn_blocking) and sync -> async (Runtime::block_on). It probably isn’t a good idea to overuse spawn_blocking but calling an async function from a sync one is literally no problem.










  • Yeah, but it isn’t noticeably “less stable” if at all anymore* unless you mean stable as in “essentially in maintenance mode”, and clearly good enough for SLES to make it the default. Stop spreading outdated FUD and make backups regularly if you care about your documents (ext4 won’t save you from disk failure either which is probably the more likely scenario).

    * not talking about the RAID 5/6 modes, but those are explicitly marked unstable







  • Not really sure what would be your type of game but here’s some that I’ve played that I found addicting, from various genres. All of these are on Steam and I’ve played on Linux.

    Definitely look at Portal 2. Great game that’s easy to get into.

    If you played and liked Portal 2, also take a look at Portal, The Talos Principle, and Q.U.B.E. (I probably can’t go wrong recommending puzzle games)

    Maybe also Mirror’s Edge (2008).

    Baldur’s Gate 3 is one I’ve put a lot of time into recently.

    Chill exploration game that I couldn’t put down and am still obsessed with: INFRA

    If you think you could like base builder games: RimWorld, Factorio, Satisfactory

    And then some absolute PC classics: Half-Life (1998, or you can also play the remake Black Mesa), System Shock (play the 2023 remake), Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.
