So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

Compactor is my Windows filesystem compression tool, good for clawing back space wasted by poorly-compressed games without having to faff about with the command line. I have a full rewrite in the pipeline that I'm procrastinating on.

ioztat is basically what zfs iostat would be if it existed — an iostat for ZFS datasets, rather than ZFS vdevs. It was born out of a script from Reddit's /r/zfs and in a slightly obsessive period I rewrote and expanded it into a pretty capable tool I'm quite proud of.

If you have any experience packaging software for your favourite Linux distribution — well, I'm a FreeBSD user, so please knock yourself out. I'm begging you.

num_threads is a tiny foundational Rust crate, most notably used by time in order to determine if it's safe to make certain syscalls. I have implementations for Open, Net, and DragonFlyBSD that I've been procrastinating on merging, because blessing unsafe code for platforms I don't use is scary. Moral support is welcomed.
