Happy 10 year anniversary to this tweet! Has memory safety in C++ been solved yet? x.com/CppCon/statu...

Spent the morning doing triaging and code review. Expect a new release soon.

Last week, we were treated to an extraordinary talk internally at @oxide.computer. It was at once an expository talk of a complicated software system and an experience talk of developing systems software in the large -- and it was far too good to keep to ourselves! oxide.computer/blog/systems...

Debugging distributed systems problems

I have upgraded from 16GB RAM to 48, no more memory problems, Mr. Computer, I beg of you pls and ty

Attaching a piece of paper on the door, telling the delivery person to leave the package at the neighbor, was much cheaper than this scummy price.

I thought the rust coreutils cksum fix would be interesting but it's literally just "use a crate that does SIMD"

We are using `benzina::join!` a lot in one of the diesel-based project which we started a few months ago. Michele has been battle-testing it a lot lately, finding deficiencies and bugs in the code generator. github.com/M4SS-Code/be... (1/2)

me: releases breaking change, noting "surely nobody relies on this" me, days later: who the fuck broke th— oh.

Someone reminded me today that @eurorust.eu is just a few weeks away. Time flies fast. Manuel and me will be arriving in Paris on the 8th, around 12 AM, and we'll be leaving on the 11th around 7 PM. We don't have much of a plan yet. Happy to catch-up with anyone over there.

The ISP changed our IPv6 address twice in 3 years. How many times do they have to change it for it not to be considered static anymore?

Heroku awesomeness. Refreshed 4 times, 4 different errors. @rust-lang.org

Why are some @github.com PRs missing both the workflow run and the button to approve it? github.com/rust-postgre...

Ti prego, tu, sostenitore di chatcontrol, fammi ridere, raccontami ancora di quella bella idea di mettere una backdoor per leggere i messaggi di tutti quanti, che però verrà usata dai i buoni e non dai cattivi… Coglione! www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/securit...

What? Why?

I've been working on a proposal for composable HTTP pool utilities for hyper-util, several of them have implementation PRs linked at the bottom. I welcome any feedback! #rustlang github.com/hyperium/hyp...

Love the recent #rustlang split between serde and serde_core, so that crates like camino and iddqd can depend on serde_core and have their builds be parallelized with serde_derive. This is a long-standing issue Released camino 1.2.0 and iddqd 0.3.13 with deps on serde_core!

Things are happening

serde is improving compiletimes by moving traits into serde_core github.com/serde-rs/ser... crates.io/crates/serde... Spotted in the wild at github.com/tokio-rs/byt...

I've been thinking of converting an over engineered buggy module written with async await into a single Future that does everything. Let's see how it goes...

FYI, I got an obvious phishing attempt in my inbox from `[email protected]` that was masquerading as a security breach notification. It made it past gmail's spam filters. The link goes to the `github.rustfoundation.dev` domain.

rand v0.10.0-rc.0 is out with MSRV v1.85 👀

I'm starting to feel like using a library that needs to build deno to generate charts on the server side was a mistake. Huge, ever growing dependency tree, build shenanigans to deal with v8, and now it doesn't even build. github.com/yuankunzhang...

@compiler-explorer.com is now running with a completely new storage mechanism in the back end. It's taken me quite a long time to get to the point where I felt confident enough to switch over to it and it seems like it's gone without a hitch. Details: xania.org/202509/cefs

Bad stuff discovered today

TIL that you can compress .zip files with Zstandard (pkware.cachefly.net/webdocs/case... compression method 93), and that libzip and 7-Zip support that. libzip.org/news/release... github.com/ip7z/7zip/re...

Another lying frontend

So: the matrix.org database secondary lost its FS due to a RAID failure earlier today (11:17 UTC). Then, we lost the primary at 17:26. We're trying to restore the primary DB FS (which could be fastish), while also doing a point-in-time backup restore from last night (which takes >10h).

The word of today is "Interoperability"

Why does it take hours to restore a database?

Looking forward into seeing it on the big screen this Wednesday

Currently experimenting with adding PostgreSQL ctid support to diesel via benzina github.com/M4SS-Code/be...

Very cool to see the ZFS ARC size in Proxmox 9

Getting ready to deploy some more stuff

🤔

The standard library removed implementations of `Error::description`. Should downstream crates be doing the same? I don't expect huge savings, but I also don't know of modern projects using the description API github.com/rust-lang/ru...

Props to the Embassy folks (mostly @dirbaio.bsky.social & @lulf.no) for doing a massive 27 crate release today! Embassy is so nice and it's also great to contribute to

Chickens are so funny, I should post more videos of them
