    Half-baked as in eating it can cause gastric problems, not as in 50% done?

    https://github.com/hadrianw/werf a graphical mouse driven text editor inspired by Plan 9's acme. It can open quite big files, you can WIMP around a bit, but README is just wishful thinking, it can't even save files. Written in C with cairo and fontconfig. Currently for a few years I'm in process of rewriting text buffer, I have something nice, but did not test it enough and did not integrate it. Now I'm thinking of a rewrite in Zig to learn it and also make it easier to test. But that's my wishful thinking again.

    https://github.com/hadrianw/tomatoaster a ChromeOS like Linux distribution based on Void Linux build system, AB partition scheme, building squashfs image without root privileges. Currently I did a nice and almost proper script to handle it and do not need to patch as match to build an image, that runs, but is not entirely useful. Need to clean-up the script and commit. Mostly bash, bunch of patches and config files and a bit of C.

    https://github.com/hadrianw/abracabra a search engine, that will not index pages with ads (all results would be uBlock-Origin clean), that is not yet even a proper pipeline to check whether a page does contain ads or not, no crawler yet at all. I want to go through Common Crawl archives first. I did something in Go first (https://github.com/hadrianw/abracabra-legacy), but now I'm rewriting it in Rust, because of awesome lol_html crate, that will make filtering fast and easy. Currently writing code to filter URLs with Rabin-Karp and a bit of loops. It created an e-mail thread years ago with people wanting to help, but I've been too slow.

    I don't want much help to code things, I would appreciate however a bit of pointers on a couple of things regarding Rust and watchdogs (to recognize a partition as unbootable and reset the system to the previous partition).
