vit.am is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
What would be the equivalent of Scheduler KIST (C-tor option) in #Rust #Arti #tor? Certainly not an option in the future paradigm. A man pages for the Cargo modules at (crates.io)? We can see "low water" in Arti which is exactly the cure. But it appears that a priesthood of operators will be in control of the fine tuning the torrc once had.

Sooo, my company have opened up for volunteer redundancies, if anyone needs or is hiring for a senior dotnet/python/rust dev who's entire personality is "I like making cool things work", I'm open
Some of my highlight include
- I wrote the entire train driver licencing management system for all of Great Britain, on my own, in a few weeks, with a completely unfamiliar stack
- Successfully defended the aforementioned project directly to the cabinet office when they blocked it and allowed it to continue to be deployed
- Once built a 64 bit computer in vanilla Java Minecraft (no command blocks)
- Worked on nuclear, medical, and autonomous driving systems, cannot talk about this too much, but this does mean I can absolutely talk your ear off about the importance of strict vigilance in software engineering
Hey #rustlang #rust #opensource #floss enthusiasts at #gpn24 interested in contributing to a distributed social networking experiment?
I am developing on based on #iroh and maybe at some point also #p2panda ... There's nothing to show yet, as I am still fleshing out the fundamentals, but if you're interested we can talk.
And no, the codebase is not even opensource yet. But it will is GPL and will be opensourced possibly within the next few weeks ... if I find the courage 😆

There's two popular conceptions of what a 'data structure' means, and they're not exactly compatible with each other, but a lot of modern languages try to pretend doing both.
There's an algebra-derived conception, and there's an "everything is a series of octets" conception. The algebra-derived forms are often believed to be of a higher abstraction level.
The issue is, computation is "free" in algebra, so when one thinks algebraically, one writes code whose naïve translation into a machine form involves creating a lot of "objects", most of whom will no longer really be neccesary after a few further construction steps. Functional programming languages tend to be particularly explicit about this "all calculation is constructing new things".
Traditional automatic memory management is just a way to make this naïve translation technique feasible when a computer does not have unlimited memory, like an algebrist's notebook does.
But this does not have to be it. A lot of interesting algorithms can be written, typically with some human effort, in forms that don't do this "all calculation is constructing new things" stuff. Probably the most obvious example is, a graph algorithm does not have to envision graph nodes as objects; they can be rows in a matrix.
Rearranging algorithms in such a way automatically should be lrgely doable, but unfortunately, it's very poorly researched. #rust's borrow checker is one of the very few thoroughly developed prances into this whole meadow, actually.
FWIW, my hunch is, the next breakthrough will probably be about making Smalltalk-style protocols into first-class objects, and developing tools that allow the algebraic-style protocols to be automatically translated into the "octets all the way down" style protocols.

Just added support to query GPU information in the Rust sysinfo crate: https://github.com/GuillaumeGomez/sysinfo/pull/1678. So next sysinfo release, you will be able to query this new information too.
This feature took me ~3 months and is only available for windows/linux/macOS for now (and likely for a while). I think I'll write a blog post about the implementation and how much of a much mess this was to implement it (looking at you linux).
Expect some cat pics with it of course.

Built something new out of pure frustration this week.
Kept running into annoying formatting issues with filenames during cross-platform storage, so I just sat down and coded a quick CLI utility to sanitize them and make it completely headache-free.
Just fine-tuning it for power users now before pushing it out. Launching soon. 🐧
Here's a strange situation:
thousands of #Rust developers use #bacon, #broot, #dysk, or #lazy-regex every single day — tools I wrote, maintain, and improve for free.
Their companies, though? None of them want to hire their author.
If you use my tools at work and your company does #Rust, I'd really appreciate a hand landing a job or freelance mission. A boost goes a long way. 🙏🦀

There's still lots of work but i'm pretty proud of my UI (i'm still quite a noob with CSS, so when i do something a bit coherent i'm happy) and tag searching works honestly great for now. I'll need to see in the future what happens when the bookmark collection grows.
I'm happy!
#Rust is not magic fairy dust that makes your code secure and free from logic errors. Compilers and the language do not understand intent. An example is here given in a slide from Greg Kroah-Hartman as given at the Open Source Summit.
From emerging threat to top-tier ransomware-as-a-service: The evolution of INC ransomware
INC has evolved from an emerging ransomware-as-a-service operation into one of the most active groups in 2026, claiming over 800 victims since 2023. The disruption of LockBit and BlackCat's shutdown created opportunities for INC to expand as affiliates migrated. Both Windows and Linux/ESXi encryptors have been rewritten in Rust, enabling cross-platform development and increasing analysis complexity. Recent incidents reveal updated tooling, including a modified credential dumper targeting newer Veeam backup deployments with support for salted DPAPI encryption. INC's influence extends beyond its operations; following the 2024 source code sale for $300,000, related families like Lynx and Sinobi emerged. United States organizations account for over 65% of victims, with legal services, manufacturing, construction, technology, and healthcare among the most targeted sectors.

ELI5: Why is Everything Being Rewritten in Rust? https://lowendbox.com/blog/eli5-why-is-everything-being-rewritten-in-rust/ #Editorial&News #Security #Rust #c
Rust is the future of programming, and a healthy open-source ecosystem is more important than ever.
On Monday, @charliermarsh announced an expansion of the Astral and Codex GitHub Sponsors program. Today, we add support for the Rust ecosystem.
More to come.
We'll aim to be a bit different in how we allocate funding. We'll try new things, listen, and learn as we go.
We particularly want to find places where each dollar makes the biggest difference for the ecosystem. Think high-impact areas that are chronically underfunded. We'd like to fund those.
RE: https://mastodon.social/@rustfoundation/116766374035508159
I wear many hats in the Rust community — today I get another one.
OpenAI is contributing $600,000 to the Rust Foundation, to become a Platinum Member and support both Rust development and the broader ecosystem. As part of this, I'll have the honor of joining the Foundation board 🙇♂️
Open-source needs funding — I know this first hand from working on cargo-semver-checks.
I still lovingly work on it on nights and weekends, but "full-time OSS maintainer" ultimately didn't work out for me. I look forward to helping carve out those opportunities for others!

[NEWS] OpenAI has joined the Rust Foundation as a Platinum Member and committed additional funding to programs and goals across the Rust ecosystem. Sustaining and strengthening a language like Rust requires this kind of support, and we are grateful to OpenAI for stepping up! 🎉
