Announcing `compact_str` version 0.7! A small string optimization for Rust
I didn't use any inline asm, instead I wrote the simplest if statement possible, which I confirmed on x86_64, x86, and aarch64 compiles down to use the platform's supported conditional move instructions. If this changes in the future and there's a need to write inline asm, you can do so in a portable way, e.g. the cmov crate.

Shoot me straight.
There's also cpufeatures which might suit your use case better (depending on exactly how you want to do it).

Crate for AES256 - which one to choose? Questions about block cipher modes and AEAD too.
I have seen that RustCrypto also offers a create for securely zeroing memory with: zeroize
-
`kindly`: a simplistic (and hopefully educational) implementation of a set-user-ID-root program (think mini `sudo`) for Linux
The zeroing routine itself looks fine to me. You might want to compare your code with the (already mentioned) zeroize crate, which does something similar (or maybe identical?).

Maybe found a Y2k bug in the rust-crypto DER-encoding util?
To save a few clicks, this was found to be, indeed, a Y2K issue, and der v0.4.1 has just been released to fix it. Citing the comment added to the issue after the fact:
-
Incredibly fast UTF-8 validation
I opened a tracking issue for that.

Now that the long-awaited const generics (MVP) have come to stable in 1.51, what crates are going to gain the most from it?

Winlator: Android app that lets you to run Windows apps with Wine
Not exactly what you were asking, but winevdm [0] does use code from Wine to run 16-bit Windows applications on 64-bit Windows installs that don't support it natively (via ntvdm).

"LibreOffice is better at reading old Word files than Word"
https://github.com/otya128/winevdm run 16 bit apps on 64 windows
This, along with Windows's own compatibility mode tweaks, should run almost any game that has ever been released on Windows.

Free Tech Tools and Resources - Mac Scrolling, Load Testing, Win Server Switch Tip & More
You can repeat this command as many times as you need to for additional records. More information can be found here. Total downtime in a VMWare environment is less than five minutes, barring any DNS server replication in play." Yet Another Free Tool winevdm enables you to keep old Windows programs on life support by running 16-bit Windows (1.x, 2.x, 3.0, 3.1, etc.) on a 64-bit Windows system. Ojakobe explains, "Had a special case of a user who clung to their Windows 7 PC because their work was reliant on a 16-bit program from 1997 (and even on 7 it didn't run properly). Used the program above to make it run reliably on 10." One Final Free Tool LocalAI is a self-hosted, OpenAI-compatible API that allows you to run language learning models locally or on-prem using consumer-grade hardware without the need for GPUs. This RESTful API supports multiple model families that are compatible with ggml format. Our thanks go to mudler_it for this one.

Anyone know how to get ActiveSync on windows 10?
After that you should now be able to install software. One final sticking point is that some older programs are wrapped up in 16-bit installers, however these can be installed by running the installer with something like otvdm.

Why won't this run on my windows 11 pc?
Try WineVDM because NTvdm never got a port to 64-bit since the CPU mode it relied on for fast 16-bit code execution gets disabled when a x86 processor is switched into long mode. WineVDM is likely translating 16-bit instruction calls to 32-bit and then passing that off to Windows
