I'm generally, personally, tired of waiting for companies to start providing @rustlang drivers for their hardware. End-users (companies writing applications) fund some work, everything else is OSS work.
What's the best way to short-circuit this? (RT's wanted, details below!)

I guess I think in terms of logical pause, so mine starts Oh, seven, ninehundred, .... I could render the 3/3 as 1/1/1//1/1/1 I suppose :D
Hear hear. Despite being double-stabbed I also don't trust that I won't accidentally spread something asymptomatically so I continue to mask up.

Why is it that whenever I think of a new fun project to do, I end up in a spiral maze of "Why has nobody thought about and then written up this $glaring_problem" ?
AFAICT, the US is far more interested in job titles and their very specific meanings in a complex heirarchy than happens in small/medium UK companies.

No promises, I just figure maybe my googlebubble is different from yours and that was something I found :D Good luck either way - satisfying users is always a balancing act.

Oftentimes, though it's less useful for you if everyone actually did as asked in the style you used, simply forcing people to rank stuff in order of importance / preference / desire rather than giving free choice per item can help a lot.

I run an HP Microserver as a nas and similar service mix to what you describe. I found that trying to skimp on "power" just meant I had to upsize over and over. The microserver has been fantastic for ages, just added more disk to it recently though.

The best thing about being a senior engineer is you get to encourage others earlier on their journey to do things, be confident and explore things, under the shelter of "I said you can do it, and if it breaks its on me".
That is an IC super power, and it behooves you to use it!
