I assume you have already tried the official tutorials, but Go By Example is a great "learn by doing" kind of tutorial. Others that I found in a quick DDG search:

For anyone who is confused: This is exploiting an old soundness bug in the Rust compiler that is still present. The GitHub issue page has this comment from maintainers:

we already had a crate published on crates.io before which used this bug to transmute in safe code, see #25860 (comment).

this issue is a priority to fix for the types team and has been so for years now. there is a reason for why it is not yet fixed. fixing it relies on where-bounds on binders which are blocked on the next-generation trait solver. we are actively working on this and cannot fix the unsoundness before it's done.

To be honest, you can say the same about any large cloud provider. What happens if AWS, or Azure, or Google Cloud go down, or become terrible?

You might look into displaying images in the terminal as well; many modern terminals support showing actual images natively

They said bcachefs; I don't think BTRFS has it, at least not since I last checked.

Actually looking forward to the btrfs swapfile hibernation; I have tried setting it up on my machine before but the documentation was never clear on whether it would work (or why mine wasn't).

Check out Ollama and its extensions for VSCode; might save you some money paying for other services if your computer can run models locally.

Unfortunately, I don't have experience with mangohud. Does Legacy work without it? And does mangohud work with other games?

Just going to ask this just in case: have you tried doing a full update and reboot? If you updated and have not rebooted, sometimes drivers get messed up.

Have you had any luck with hibernation with a BTRFS swapfile? My computer still does not start from hibernation, and I am not sure why, even though I followed the Arch wiki to set it up.

My computer was taking too long to start up, which I interpreted as failing to boot, but in hindsight was probably just my hard drive being slow. So, I booted into recovery mode, and ran an update. At one point, apt said "there are unnecessary packages" and would I like to remove them? I figured that apt knew better than I did (after all, maybe a package dropped a dependency), so I said yes.

It was after I noticed the very large number of packages that I suspected I messed up. Turns out, apt uninstalled the entire desktop environment, and network manager, so I had to boot into a USB drive with Network Manager installed, chroot into my main drive, and reinstall plasma. As a bonus, I think I missed the main group for the plasma desktop and only installed only most of it, so some of my extensions just didn't work anymore.

I haven't taken it myself, but "The Last Algorithms Course You'll Need" is free and is written by The Primeagen. He works at Netflix and runs a programming-focused YouTube channel, and as far as I can tell is very knowledgeable and level-headed.

 

I've been interested in trying a custom mechanical keyboard, but I already have a 60% (maybe 65%?) keyboard that I don't have any issues with, so I thought making a numpad or macro pad would be a good (and maybe cheaper) alternative. I've been having a hard time finding any that don't require a soldering iron and are less than $70ish.

Any good budget suggestions? I am up for assembling or disassembling things (or even programming), I just don't have a soldering iron.

 

I made This old setup a couple of years ago that was (nearly) fully automated with Pywal. I don't think I have the source for most of it anymore, but here is what I remember using:

WM: xmonad
Terminal: Alacritty + fish + starship
Bar: Polybar
App launcher: Rofi, based on adi1090x's themes
Clock widget: Conky, using a custom background made in Inkscape
Text editor: Micro / VSCode
Firefox theme: blurredfox
Spotify theme: spicetify
