“We adopted #rustlang for its security and are seeing a 1000x reduction in memory safety vulnerability density ... with Rust changes having a 4x lower rollback rate and spending 25% less time in code review, the safer path is now also the faster one.” security.googleblog.com/2025/11/rust...

🦀 I've improved the implementation behind all the string formatting macros in Rust: println, panic, format, write, log::info, etc. (Everything using format_args!().) They will compile a bit faster, use a bit less memory while compiling, result in smaller binaries, and produce more efficient code! 🎉

Mailbox.org finally has a web interface worthy of a modern email service. Still not as good as Fastmail but close

Interesting stuff to try in the next nightly github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Today everything is broken

I'm so tired of docker breaking stuff at random. We had something based on `docker save` + `docker load`. I know it's not great, but it worked. The latest docker release broke it.

Using Typst to autogenerate PDFs is pretty popular. And many of you ARE DOING IT WRONG!! We have put together a new blog post with the best approach to PDF generation using Typst (hint: don't use an external script to generate Typst markup). typst.app/blog/2025/au...

It's incredible how simple and straightforward updown.io is compared to many other overengineered, buggy or lazy uptime monitoring platforms. I wish I'd seen it sooner @european-alternatives.eu. Maybe some attributes are missing, like the Green Energy or EU Hosted?

Today I saw Heldin (2025) at the local cinema for the second time. Strong recommend.

All good things must come to an end! 🌅 🦀 RustLab wrapped up after three incredible days full of learning and connections. ⚡ 🤎 Thank you to everyone who joined us! 🗓️ Mark your calendars: see you in Bologna, November 2026! ✨ #RustLab2025 #RustLang

Waiting for HDMI...

so glad I can be learning Rust from the experts at Adobe, their beautiful elegant code is really an inspiration 😊

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Is Hetzner giving up on ARM?

Linux maintainers should really step back and think why programming language library managers happened instead of ranting on stage that they exist.

Just switched ISP from Eolo to Dimensione. Now I'm back with proper 100 Mbps / 20 Mbps over FWA. Also happy to be in the 18.2% of Italy with IPv6

New Rust RFC: adding a crates.io Security tab github.com/rust-lang/rf...

rust-analyzer now fully uses the new trait solver! 🎉🎉 rust-analyzer.github.io/thisweek/202...

Should the Display format of an Error include the source if the alternate flag is set? I'm having mixed feelings. It sounds very nice, but if no other crate does it, I don't expect users to know about this feature and it's also extra stuff to maintain. Thoughts? github.com/rust-postgre...

Weird GitHub spam happening lately...

Which brings us to the age-old question: Has nobody done this before because it's hard? Or because it's really fucking stupid?

Great YouTube video where a guy builds a 16mm camera from scratch. Explains really well how film cameras work. youtu.be/ZAtYJYfV2nA

AI scrapers are ruining the web, so I have an idea that could help make the situation even worse for everyone: software that loads random .js, .png, and .pdf files it finds across the entire web for the purposes of speed testing. I just had to do this to debug weird networking issues and it works!

Using shitty graphviz layout as an indicator for a peer missing in the network

Another day of learning about an AWS outage when it's almost over 🥳

🔥 Last call for #RustLab2025! 🔥 Only 24 hours left to grab your ticket at the lowest price. From tomorrow, Premium ticket prices jump from €380 → €500. Don’t miss your chance to learn, code, and connect in Florence this November. rustlab.it/tickets25

What's up with modern UIs removing things and leaving the space empty? @github.com I want my recent PRs back!

Really interesting setting from Linode

Back from Paris 😉

The comments are gold. www.makeuseof.com/killing-the-...

Making a few releases while at the airport for EuroRust. github.com/lettre/lettr... github.com/rust-postgre...

Who could have seen it coming

+33%. Just like that 🤷‍♂️

I really like how the answer was professional and also set boundaries which are essential to not burnout. I think seeing this type of thing is actually nice, because it sets example to be used on other projects (and even in other types of organizations)

man, telling me that Open Source Man Known For Throwing Tantrums threw a tantrum about something makes me *less* inclined to fix it i have so little patience for this crap github.com/rust-lang/ru...

AI is so weird. Sometimes I ask it to reply to GitHub issues/discussions to see what it would say. I don't reply to the discussion though. Here I was lazy and pasted the link, and the AI I guess tried to Google search it and failed 🤦‍♂️. Also, so inefficient. Why don't such simple things work???

If the docs.rs build for your crate is broken, despite you not using doc_auto_cfg, here's a PR I want you to copy-paste into your project: github.com/weiznich/die...

The `doc_auto_cfg` removal could probably have been handled better

Here is my RustConf 2025 presentation "10 Years of Redox OS and Rust". Make sure to watch to the end for a surprise! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xlcc...

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

from @bcantrill.bsky.social: trust is infrastructure - it is the bedrock upon which we bud everything: our institutions, our organizations, our communties. it needs work, maintenance, and repair. #monktoberfest

What's your biggest Excalidraw drawing and how laggy was it?

I wrote another blog post for the Prossimo blog about how we improve the unhappy path for rustls users: www.memorysafety.org/blog/rustls-...

Linus Torvalds Lashes Out At RISC-V Big Endian Plans - https://www.phoronix.com/news/Torvalds-No-RISC-V-BE

Maintaining #Rustls isn’t just code — it’s choices. Dirkjan shared how OSS maintainers balance safety vs. niche flexibility and why API instability or incompatibility can ripple across the ecosystem. Full story at netstack.fm/#episode-7

FDroid raises the case against the Google developer forced registration once again. For those who don't know: Google will begin to restrict the sideloading of apps from unverified developers on Android devices starting in 2026 f-droid.org/2025/09/29/g...
