The ugly truth: I don't update all that often, so it's somewhat of a production, which makes the taking of snapshots a key part of the ritual.

I've long had kernel and kernel-headers marked with IgnorePkg, so that they require an explicit sync to be updated. It avoids a similar mess when OpenZFS support for the latest kernel version has not caught up.

We raised a $200M Series C, now we're putting it to work.

New compute sleds with the latest AMD EPYC CPUs are coming. We're also working with Xsight Labs on next-gen switch silicon with a fully open instruction set architecture (ISA).

The Register has the details: buff.ly/6ghM2b6

If you have ever struggled with a server whose bios won't netboot because there's a misconfiguration on the switch, or the Ethernet cable is not coded right for the speed of the server's card (because your vendor silently
"upgraded" you to 25 Gbit because they were out of 10 Gbit cards), and then when it does boot, it is thermally throttled because it's tiny fans happen to be blowing in the one spot where your electrician tied a bundle of electric cables 10 cm thick, and then once you get the thermal throttling problem solved, you find out your version of IPMItool is incompatible with some stupid extension your server vendor defaulted to "on",, then you might understand why Oxide is a good deal.
If you idea of installing a server is "terraform", you're not going to get it.

Yeah, I'd be interested to see convincing justification for such silent unlocks. I find it hard to imagine a situation where that's the right thing to do.

In the mean time, I'm just wrapping Mutex (and Condvar, etc) to get the infallible-by-default behavior.

Provided they can provide a `--fix` helper when crossing an edition boundary like that, it would be a pretty painless (and nice!) change.

Making Mutex::lock() panic on a poisoned lock, and pushing those who need it to try_lock() or something like fallibly_lock() would have made things easier for what I have to believe is 99+% of the time.

My feelings on the matter are mixed, when it comes to Rust. Making Mutex::lock() fallible, despite being congruous with the rest of std, and Rust's error handling ethos in general, does seem rather unfortunate. I appreciate that it _can_ be handled at runtime, but it's a pain in the common case.

Being able to seamlessly fall back to doing "normal" git things definitely makes the transition easier, without (IMO) losing many of the jj benefits.

Working in a large (illumos-gate, an entire OS) repo has been mostly fine, given that I disabled auto-tracking of files. Having to manually add new files to be tracked closely matched my tendencies with git anyways.
