I wish there was something like a named pipe that allowed for random access (lseek and/or pread) instead of only FIFO without having to go all the way to FUSE. Is this a thing?

I suspect the answer will be "stop being lazy and embrace FUSE".

Honestly all the FS engineers I’ve known would probably say that, right after they asked if there was any possible way to avoid using FUSE. 🤣

Someone should make an fs.FS -> FUSE adapter

I've definitely thought about this but I can't decide if it's even possible because fs.FS doesn't make you think about inodes, whereas I assume FUSE does?
