If we drop std Rust ceases to be economical due to the time it would take to reimplement the data structures and IO interfaces it provides, not to mention the event loop crate we use (calloop). At that point we'd be relying on so much FFI via eg. nix that the relative safety would be diminished too. After reimplementing all that it's not clear to me that we'd even save that much size, but I suppose it's possible.

InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

Project mention: Saving Linux Desktop. Unifying repositories is the only way | /r/linux | 2023-12-07
I don't understand why more people aren't aware of this: https://github.com/topgrade-rs/topgrade -I use it for Linux and Windows.
-
httm
Interactive, file-level Time Machine-like tool for ZFS/btrfs/nilfs2 (and even actual Time Machine backups!)
Project mention: Is my open-source project up to date with MIT license compliance and attribution? | /r/opensource | 2023-12-11My projects and many projects include a THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.html file when I distribute binaries. See: https://github.com/kimono-koans/httm/blob/master/third_party/LICENSES_THIRD_PARTY.html

aero
Aero is a new modern, experimental, UNIX-like operating system following the monolithic kernel design. Supporting modern PC features such as long mode, 5-level paging, and SMP (multicore), to name a few.
This feels like an ad; the blog post and the README feel like they were written to sound complicated and smart rather than tell the whole truth. Like, "On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)"? Apart from the fact that ring 0 will always have full control, the MMU also exists. Also, the "48k" (the kernel has 34324 lines of non-comment code, the rest are in the other repos I assume) LOC are obvious when you consider code like src/syscall/mod.rs:717 is present.
To be fair, this is impressive, but its a basic monolithic kernel written for a school project, with the "twist" that it is in Rust and uses Linux syscalls.
For anyone who is interesting in more Rust UNIX-like kernels, Aero (https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero) is farther ahead supports running quite a lot of recompiled Linux userspace, including dwm and WebKit.

fcp
A significantly faster alternative to the classic Unix cp(1) command, copying large files and directories in a fraction of the time.

Project mention: Show HN: A CLI tool that enables you to remove files easily and safely | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-20
Is this a faster version of rm, optimized for speed, like FUC's rmz (https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/fuc)? I was hoping that it could do that, seeing this is written in rust (hopefully for performance)
