I have a Zero with a macropad attached. Key presses are then sent to Home Assistant through MQTT. The zero is perfect for it, small and low power.

Still wondering what to actually do with my Zero 2.

Oh great, another project named “rustic”. There’s also a wrapper for Restic called Rustic, also written in Rust. No activity in the repo for 3 years, though.

I liked the config file support in the old Rustic, and seeing the same thing in the new one does at least attract me a bit.

But a Rust rewrite of a software written in Go, a language that is already pretty efficient? I don’t understand why.
