Hello! I’m Mari. I’ve spent 10+ years hacking on side-projects and open source, and the last 3.5+ years building production back-ends in Rust, Go and Typescript.
My latest project is GitArena (https://github.com/mellowagain/gitarena), a self-hostable Git + issue-tracker written in async Rust (Actix-Web, Tokio, PostgreSQL, htmx). I also grew Fiberplane's Rust REST API and CLI, wrote an OpenAPI -> Rust codegen tool, and automated its Terraform infra.
Feel free to get in touch to learn more about me and my previous experiences.

I mean it's all encrypted, right? Most cloud providers even allow you to specify your own encryption keys. Sure, the NRO isn't going to start uploading all their sat imagery to a gcp bucket, but I'd imagine it's fine for everything that's not classified.
Heck, even for the classified stuff, I heard Azure built a government owned datacenter running a self hosted copy of their software. Much better quality than asking some Gen Dynamics contractor to manage everything for you.
They don't though. Swiss tax wealth (though its a tiny fraction). IRS makes it a massive PITA to hold substantial financial stakes in foreign companies. See FATCA and GILTI. And many tax deferred foreign retirement funds are not treated as being tax deferred by the IRS. It only gets more complicated from here. It's by far easier to earn and hold cash in America.
That was many years ago. The entire Western world is compromised and reports to the IRS -or- the bank kicks out anybody who MIGHT be a US Citizen to avoid being sanctioned. The end result is only the few most central banks in the country take American clients -or- they are hopelessly behind on regulatory compliance (YOLO).
>What Sequoia was reacting to was the scale of SBF’s vision. It wasn’t a story about how we might use fintech in the future, or crypto, or a new kind of bank. It was a vision about the future of money itself—with a total addressable market of every person on the entire planet.
>“I sit ten feet from him, and I walked over, thinking, Oh, shit, that was really good,” remembers Arora. “And it turns out that that fucker was playing League of Legends through the entire meeting.”
>“We were incredibly impressed,” Bailhe says. “It was one of those your-hair-is-blown-back type of meetings.”
>Not only that, Arora says, but League of Legends is the kind of multiplayer online battle arena video game where every four minutes or so of tactical maneuvering is punctuated by ten seconds of action known as a gank—gamer slang for “gang killing”—where you and your team gang up on an enemy. “There’s a fight that happens, basically,” says Arora, who was watching over SBF’s shoulder as he answered that final question from Sequoia, “and I’m like, This guy is fucking in a gank!”
>The B round raised a billion dollars. Soon afterward came the “meme round”: $420.69 million from 69 investors.
Crystal Linux. It is a arch based OS which means you get to take advantage of the huge amount of packages in the AUR with the added benefit of being easy to install and sensible defaults.
It comes with amethyst (`ame`) as AUR helper pre-installed, which is also in my opinion the best AUR helper out right now (and it's written in Rust!).
Automatic BTRFS snapshots before package upgrades have saved my butt once already and I couldn't live without them.
I use manjaro with my on DWM build (very small changes and a few usefull patches).
I'm not liking it because for some reason pamac (AUR helper) cli behaves differently from the UI. So now and them, when I need to update a package, the cli wont do it because of some signature issues, and the UI can handle it. So now and then I go back to cinnamon because I can't lauch pamac correctly from the terminal from DWM. Very weird setup going on.
https://getcryst.al/site is a little light on details -- is there something that talks about the philosophy of crystal Linux, or whatever makes it special / unique? If you're happy with your DE on Arch, is there any reason to consider switching rather than just installing amethyst? (EDIT: forgot to mention I'm already on BTRFS root with snapper for auto snapshots.)
Putin is definitely trying to nullify Gorbachev's accomplishments, but I like to think that he'll actually end up strengthening them against his own will, in that the catastrophe he has created thru his anti-Gorbachev mentality will serve as a lesson of history for future generations and politicians.
For example, racism was kinda considered "normal" before Hitler, but after Hitler, even people like Putin don't want to be deemed racist. Right now dictatorship is kinda considered "normal" too b/c so many countries still have dictators, but perhaps after Putin, no politician will want to be deemed a dictator.
