A bit of a long shot: the regular audio editor for the "What's New" Rustacean Station episodes is now busy with other life stuff. The last episode I edited myself, but it took ages! Anyone know an editor (ideally familiar with Rust, but not a requirement) who'd take on a regular (paid) editing gig?

I wrote a blog post about rustls performance on the server for the Prossimo blog; rustls comes out comparing well to the alternatives, and we’re still improving it! www.memorysafety.org/blog/rustls-...

Rustls Server-Side Performance

In past years, the Rustls project has been happy to receive substantial investments from the ISRG. One of our goals has been to improve performance without compromising on safety. We last posted about...
