After having a subpar setup for a long time, just running my website in a Zellij session I finally set up a service, and at the same time I set up continuous deployment. I wrote about it here: erk.dev/2026/04/20/f...

Pew pew, jeg opfordre alle til at være med i #edbspillet

Some fun compiler-adjacent #RustLang reading: How can you make sure [panic!] is unreachable in part of your program? This write-up goes into how we approached callgraph analysis in #Ferrocene – and how you can try it out for yourself! 👉 ferrous-systems.com/blog/callgra...

Cursed connector that we use at work, any guesses what it is for?

Zed Just released a updated terms of service agreement, you now must be at least 18 years old to use it. Also they now have a forced arbitration clause unless you opt out via snail- or e-mail within 30 days. zed.dev/blog/terms-u...

Going to a chemistry cabaret at my old uni tonight. It is the newest of the science cabarets so it is fun to see how the running gags evolve. My favourite gag from the past few years have been about how all chemicals should just go into the handwash.

This GOOD BOY ran onto the course during the Women’s Cross-Country Skiing Team Sprint event, crossing the finish line and being automatically recorded by OMEGA’s photofinish camera 😆

Shout out to @erk.dev for writing a new clippy lint to catch the surprising "`for i in `0..` {}` loops forever" behavior I bumped into this week!

Visiting Hwarangdae Railway Park (화랑대 철도공원) and saw a tram from Hiroshima which is a bit away, apparently it was on use until 2017.

From one of the authors most known for stories with a rather positive outlook on technology Jules Verne's "Paris in the 20th century" is a interesting book, though rather bleak which was probably the reason it was not published before 1994.

Seems like GoComics digital printer ran out of black ink again.

Goodbye Netherlands

New Garfield format just dropped! At least to my knowledge this is the first 2x3 Garfield comic

Hello Netherlands

Garfield's worst nightmare (or how a API difference caused a bad bug) by Valdemar Erk at RustWeek 2025! www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aQd... #rustlang #RustWeek

The talk I did at #RustWeek about how a small difference in API's lead to a rather bad bug in my #Garfield bot is now live on YouTube, so you should all go and watch it. #rustlang www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aQd...

The Garfield comic for today seems to be missing the colour black somehow. At time of writing this is how it looks on www.gocomics.com/garfield/202.... which is the official web syndicate of the comic.

Live from the 10 Years of Rust celebration in Utrecht, Netherlands, we are very happy to announce a new version of Rust, 1.87.0! See the blog post and release notes for all the details! blog.rust-lang.org/2025/05/15/R...

For some reason our dog loves trains. Not only does she try to drag me to the station so she can go for a ride, whenever one passes is she will stop and watch it.

We need to bring back this French 1869 bug patterned fabric IMMEDIATELY

If you ever need to look up manufactors by mac address in a no_std environment I made a small library for that: github.com/erk-/macnuf #rustlang
