  • Regarding 1: if you open up dmesg after it happens and you see an error regarding “No edid read”, your GPU is having a hard time automatically getting the monitor’s edid over display port. My 7800xt has this issue.

    If your monitor setup doesn’t change much, you can manually set the edid on a per output basis. Here is a good guide.

    Also, regarding 3: you may need to set your amdgpu feature mask in your kernel parameters.




  • If you’re messing with ACLs I’m not sure deduplication will help you much; I believe (not much experience with reflinks) the dedup checksum will include the metadata, so changing ACLs might ruin any benefit. Even if you don’t change the ACLs, as soon as somebody updates a game, it’s checksum will change and won’t converge back when everyone else updates.

    Even hardlinks preserve the ACL… Maybe symlinks to the folder containing the game’s data, then the symlinks could have different ACLs?

    No, I’m saying that when people run into strange bugs, sometimes they put together an issue (like the person behind cve-rs), and sometimes they quietly work around it because they’re busy.

    Seeing as I don’t often trawl through issues on the language git, neither really involve notifying me specifically.

    My lack of an anecdote does not equate to anecdotal evidence of no issue, just that I haven’t met every rust developer.


  • Yes, the problems rust is solving are already solved under different constraints. This is not a spicy take.

    The world isn’t clamoring to turn a go app into rust specifically for the memory safety they both enjoy.

    Systems applications are still almost exclusively written in C & C++, and they absolutely do run into memory bugs. All the time. I work with C almost exclusively for my day job (with shell and rust interspersed), and while tried and tested C programs have far fewer memory bugs than when they were first made, that means the bugs you do find are by their nature more painful to diagnose. Eliminating a whole class of problems in-language is absolutely worth the hype.



  • The code used in cve-rs is not that complicated, and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that somebody would use lifetimes like this if they had just enough knowledge to be dangerous.

    I’m as much a rust evangelist as the next guy, but part of having excellent guard rails is loudly pointing out subtle breakages that can cause hard to diagnose issues.
