It seems to be trying to fill a gap that Linux still has: a decent βfiles on demandβ style cloud sync client, where the filesystem is mounted normally but file contents are only downloaded when needed instead of mirroring everything locally. One can also pin files to keep them in sync. Stratosync is written in Rust, uses FUSE3 for the filesystem layer and rclone for cloud backends, so it should work with services like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, S3, Nextcloud, SFTP, etc. Frβ¦

Researchers may have found a new way to weaken glioblastomaβs defenses against treatment. Blocking a protein called SET prevented tumors from forming in preclinical models, while targeting related proteins made cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation. The strategy works by restoring activity of PP2A, an enzyme that glioblastoma cells appear to suppress. Human testing will be needed to determine whether the approach is safe and effective.
