I also made some dumb number entering shenanigans for https://faxyourballs.com/
My favorite was suggested by a friend: the radial button selection for every digit, but with digit “10” sorted up at the top.
I should go add some more…


I too fixed performance problems in that repo a few years back and did a write up on it - https://jackson.dev/post/rust-coreutils-dd/
I’m glad this project is getting some more attention, maybe even getting funding from Ubuntu since they’re using it? Last time I touched it most of the code was still pretty clearly written by Rust beginners and non-systems programmers so it likely had/has many such issues to uncover. Ubuntu putting it into their distro should hopefully get more experienced (and actually paid!) devs taking a closer look.
