Well-written, balanced assessment of the state of rust web api development.

wrote a thing about my thoughts on building a web api with rust, it's called "rust is a hard way to make a web api" https://macwright.com/2021/01/15/rust.html

I accidentally wrote a random-numbers-as-a-service web api with Rocket and it was quite fun. I do want to write up some interesting parts of it, eventually. #rustlang

FYI found another #job #mentioning #rust (in this case: Rocket) https://enote.com/jobinfo-senior-cloud-service-developer This time it seems to be #berlin only.

Really enjoyable deep dive: Who's at the Helm?

"Or, how to deploy 25+ CVEs to prod in one command!"

"Each package manager adds a layer of convenience. ... But each layer here adds an element of required trust."

New year, new colors:

"Dark Pastels" (ships with Konsole) is easy on the eyes.

For people running containers: what user runs inside your container?

Boosting for visibility appreciated.

One cool thing about sr.ht / sourcehut is that you can create repos without first going to the web ui:

$ git remote add origin git@git.sr.ht:~myuser/newrepo
$ git push

returns

remote:
remote: NOTICE
remote: We saved your changes, but this repository does not exist.
remote: Click here to create it:
remote:
remote: https://git.sr.ht/create?name=newrepo
remote:
remote: Your changes will be discarded in 20 minutes.

Thinking about a #git hosting service with almost no UI for the low price of “pay what you want”. Purpose: backups, just a place to push to. 🤔
