Took me a while to figure this out. Posted here to share just in case anybody else in the world is trying to install Rust on an external USB device, for example, to get around build with Rust resulting in running out of disk space on a live Linux USB running on a temporary file system. See Is there a way to [disable] caching crates?.

I have been trying to build Roll your own JavaScript runtime for a while now. My previous attempts resulted in an error due to the disk space being filled by cargo writing downloaded crates to $HOME/.cargo. I start out with around only 1 GB on the live Linux USB temporary file system. I have access to a few external USB devices ranging between 64 GB and 128 GB capacity, so that's not the issue.

This is what worked for me. Making use of CARGO_HOME and RUST_HOME environment variables, along with naming the directories accordingly

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

Installing Brave Browser on Void Linux

For anyone curious in the future:

Yes, you can relatively easily install brave browser on void linux, if that is somehow a non-negotiable for you fear not. There are three methods that I am aware of:

Add this template file to your fork of void-packages locally and build the ./xbps-src package like any other.
Use flatpak, which I need not explain since instructions are on the flathub listing itself. (Note: will be isolated from the system which can be a bit of a pain, especially using things like keepassxc)

Announcement

Please stop using this extension and Microsoft's C++ extension for Unreal code completion.

clangd

The VSCode extension clangd has blazing fast code completion in comparison. I've made a VSCode extension for it:

You will use clangd for code completion(Intellisense) and use Microsoft's C++ extension for Building/Debugging
