I’m a fairly experienced Rust Dev (I’ve been paid to write it since 2014). I’ve never use Tauri, but damn it looks complicated.

If your goal is learning rust, I’d suggest learning on something simpler. Avoid complicated “ecosystems”, anything super macro heavy, or async in general. Go write code like you’re a college freshman. Duplicate code, call .clone() and .unwrap() with wild abandon. There’s no reason to throw all the hardest parts of the language at yourself all at once.

If your goal is ending up with a GUI application, I don’t really have advice for you, I’ve never figured that out myself.

Nethack server

Ooh, interesting. I’ve never tried playing that.

Yeah, game servers is about the only thing I’ve come up with for a way to take any real advantage of the perk.

Unlimited servers. I work for a VPS provider and on my first day my boss setup my account with $10k of credit and showed me how to add more in the admin panel “whenever [I] need it”. As long as I’m only using things with plenty of excess capacity and don’t cause problems, I can spin up whatever I want.

Sadly, I’ve already got a rack of hardware at home, so all I’ve done so far is spin up a server with 96GB of ram and put a 2-page static website on it, lol.

Not federating with meta was a choice that could be made by the admins, just changing a setting in the instance. Slop can be posted to any instance by anyone with an account. If an admin decided to sign an anti-AI pact there’s no way they could realistically abide / enforce it.

Ooh, infinity mm of thunder.

Ditto all of this.

There are no good decently priced domain registrars at the moment. Even porkbun is just a cloudflare reseller now. The only downside of going with cloudflare is that don’t let you use your own nameservers (at least that was true the last time I checked a few years ago), but if you don’t already know that you want that, you probably don’t need it.

That looks to me more like it’s Amazon removing them, assuming that’s happening when you load the page. They probably remove them so that people don’t copy and share affiliated links so that they don’t have to pay out more to their affiliates program.

Dried with laundered microfiber cloth.

You don’t use fabric softener or dryer sheets, do you? If you do, your cloth has a layer of wax on it that acts as a release agent on your bed.

Lemmy makes the /c/ format into a link to the community in my instance, FWIW.

The coins themselves don’t have any monetary value. […] And then, the creators, etc. that you pay, would then be able to cash out those coins for real currency.

The ability to ‘cash out’ means they do have monetary value.

If you use paper towels to clean your bed: Do your paper towels feel ‘papery’? If not they might be waxed.

If you use reusable towels to clean your bed: Do you use fabric softener? Don’t.

🤷, embedded device manufacturers were really bad at software back then. I honestly don’t remember the details anymore.

Yeah, to be fair, there was an issue getting string.h to work (so i could just use strstr) with the vendor’s shitty toolchain, that took me talking to an engineer at the vendor, and the dev who wrote that was out of our Taiwan office. But also, my first fix was just doing a sort of sliding-window check, manually checing for s[0] == '\n' && s[1] == 'C' && s[2] == 'o' &&..., which was gross, but much more correct.

I worked at an IoT platform startup. All of our embedded device demos stopped working August 1st. I was told the same thing happened last year, but it was fine, things would start working in September. I decided to go fix it anyway. Eventually I figured out the culprit was a custom HTTP library. Instead of doing anything sensible, the way it found the Content-Length header was to loop over the bytes of the response until it found the first ‘g’ add 5 to that pointer and then assume that whatever was there was the number of bytes it should read. Unfortunately, HTTP responses have a Date header which includes the month and August has a ‘g’ in it.

There were a bunch of these demo devices already flashed and shipped out. The ‘fix’ to get them to work, even in August, was to downgrade requests to HTTP 0.9 which didn’t require a Date header in the response.

This means that in most cases you’re automatically a Canadian citizen if you were born

• before December 15, 2025
• outside Canada to a Canadian parent

This rule also applies to you if you were born to someone who became Canadian because of these rule changes.

Though, it looks like it won’t auto-migrate. So it’ll stay directly in your home dir unless you reinstall or move it yourself.

A crucial point was ensuring that all layers were deposited at or near room temperature, thus […] [allowing] the use of plastic or polymer substrates, opening the door to the flexible electronics of the future.

So, to answer the headline, no. This isn’t about the top end, its more about the bottom end I guess?

Plastic layers don’t sound great for heat dissipation or max temp, but still very interesting for miniaturization of low end stuff.

I just pulled my Bangle.js 2 back out to play with making a better reminder system for myself. It works better than any of the other open source watches I’ve had with my GrapheneOS phone. The hardware isn’t open source as far as I know, but their mobile app (fork of gadget bridge) is, as are all the apps that run on the watch, and (I think?) the watch OS.

Check your state or country’s laws, you might not even need the contract amended. In the state that I live in any contract clause that tries to prevent you from doing any work entirely on your own time with entirely your own materials is explicitly unenforceable.

Plus if it’s just a small open source library (assuming your employer is sane) it’d be a waste of money for them to even ask a lawyer to write a letter to you, because why would anyone care.

If you really care about getting it right, you can find a local employment attorney and have them explain your local laws and edit and/or negotiate your contract for you. I did that once, but I felt like it was probably a waste of the $900 I paid. (I mean, it definitely was a waste in that case because that job was a nightmare and it only lasted 2 months, lol.)
