Project Description
I'd like to have NeoMutt show an index of emails at the same time as the body of the selected email, horizontally next to each other.
Goal for this Hackweek
I will to work on option for NeoMutt which allow index and pager pane to be split horizontally (side-by-side).
It looks like I am not the only one which will like this functionality [1, 2].
Email client repository could be found here [3].
[1] Can mutt show the index and body of emails in a horizontal split?
[2] Show index and body of emails in a horizontal split (side-by-side)

Code changes which adds side-by-side index and page layout could be found here.
New behaviour is controlled by pager_columns option.
Non-zero value defines how many columns to be used for pager (email content displaying window).
pager_columns overwrites pager_index_lines option. This means that the index (window which display email subject, date...) will occupy all screen rows.
Result is not what I have expected . Screen should be biggish to be able to display whole Subject, Date, Author information.

FastFileCheck work by pstivanin
Description
FastFileCheck is a high-performance, multithreaded file integrity checker for Linux. Designed for speed and efficiency, it utilizes parallel processing and a lightweight database to quickly hash and verify large volumes of files, ensuring their integrity over time.
https://github.com/paolostivanin/FastFileCheck
Goals
- Release v1.0.0
Design overwiew:
- Main thread (producer): traverses directories and feeds the queue (one thread is more than enough for most use cases)
- Dedicated consumer thread: manages queue and distributes work to threadpool
- Worker threads: compute hashes in parallel
This separation of concerns is efficient because:
- Directory traversal is I/O bound and works well in a single thread
- Queue management is centralized, preventing race conditions
- Hash computation is CPU-intensive and properly parallelized
FizzBuzz OS by mssola
Project Description
FizzBuzz OS (or just fbos
) is an idea I've had in order to better grasp the fundamentals of the low level of a RISC-V machine. In practice, I'd like to build a small Operating System kernel that is able to launch three processes: one that simply prints "Fizz", another that prints "Buzz", and the third which prints "FizzBuzz". These processes are unaware of each other and it's up to the kernel to schedule them by using the timer interrupts as given on openSBI (fizz on % 3 seconds, buzz on % 5 seconds, and fizzbuzz on % 15 seconds).
This kernel provides just one system call, write
, which allows any program to pass the string to be written into stdout.
This project is free software and you can find it here.
Goal for this Hackweek
- Better understand the RISC-V SBI interface.
- Better understand RISC-V in privileged mode.
- Have fun.

The project was a resounding success Lots of learning, and the initial target was met.
Add a machine-readable output to dmidecode by jdelvare
Description
There have been repeated requests for a machine-friendly dmidecode output over the last decade. During Hack Week 19, 5 years ago, I prepared the code to support alternative output formats, but didn't have the time to go further. Last year, Jiri Hnidek from Red Hat Linux posted a proof-of-concept implementation to add JSON output support. This is a fairly large pull request which needs to be carefully reviewed and tested.
Goals
Review Jiri's work and provide constructive feedback. Merge the code if acceptable. Evaluate the costs and benefits of using a library such as json-c.
ESETv2 Emulator / interpreter by m.crivellari
Description
ESETv2 is an intriguing challenge developed by ESET, available on their website under the "Challenge" menu.
The challenge involves an "assembly-like" language and a Python compiler that generates .evm
binary files.
This is an example using one of their samples (it prints N Fibonacci numbers):
.dataSize 0
.code
loadConst 0, r1 # first
loadConst 1, r2 # second
loadConst 1, r14 # loop helper
consoleRead r3
loop:
jumpEqual end, r3, r15
add r1, r2, r4
mov r2, r1
mov r4, r2
consoleWrite r1
sub r3, r14, r3
jump loop
end:
hlt
This language also supports multi-threading. It includes instructions such as createThread
to start a new thread, joinThread
to wait until a thread completes, and lock
/unlock
to facilitate synchronization between threads.
Goals
- create a full interpreter able to run all the available samples provided by ESET.
- improve / optimize memory (eg. using bitfields where needed as well as avoid unnecessary memory allocations)
Resources

- My github project: https://github.com/DispatchCode/eset_vm2 (not 100% complete)
Achivements
Project still not complete. Added lock / unlock instruction implementation but further debug is needed; there is a bug somewhere. Actually the code it works for almost all the examples in the samples folder. 1 of them is not yet runnable (due to a missing "write" opcode implementation), another will cause the bug to show up; still not investigated, anyhow.
