I've just taken a look at https://bcachefs.org/ and from what I see it
tries to be a "do-all" file-system going the route of ZFS and BTRFS,
from RAID and multiple drives to compression and encryption.

Given the latest thread about `sxiv`, I wanted to open up the
discussion about "suckless" software for photography enthusiasts.
Are there many photographers on this list? Have you found some useful
and "less-sucking" tools to help you in your hobby?

Hello all!
I would like to ask the Suckless community about how they
generally solve -- or would like to solve -- the problem of user
credentials input in their applications. To be more clear, I'm not
referring to actually authenticating / authorizing users (i.e.

Hello all!
I'm currently using the `dmenu` in some scripts, but I also need a
tool similar to `dmenu` which displays a (multi-line) message (like
