Codex spent the day setting up my new PDS server 👀 interesting to see the process!

We just released the first stable version of iroh, v1.0! Read about it: www.iroh.computer/blog/v1 We're super proud of where we landed with iroh's 1.0. Since version 0.35 it feels like we've entirely replaced the "engine underneath". Are you a fellow key-dialer? Come tell us how you use iroh!

Iroh 1.0 - Dial Keys, not IPs

Iroh 1.0 is out. Now is the time to build.

Do you need anything from a rust testing framework? I end up using pytest a lot which makes me sad, but there's just nothing that comes close in Rust. I'm working on something and I'm interested to see if your usecase is covered by my design

Seems that 16GB VRAM isn't enough for vibe coding just yet. Models trained for tool calls seem to struggle with them when quantized

It’s actually a great time to care about the craft. I don’t know if people realize this but you can actually write whatever you want into the prompt box. You can use the AI to get the function just right instead of making it generate crap as fast as possible.

I have always been the kind of developer who only cared about outcomes. Give me the tool, the framework, the head start. I just want my website. A totally different kind of developer exists who cares about the *craft*. Getting that function just right. Those devs are in pain right now.

I'm pretty deep in the LLM psychosis right now. It started from ADHD induced burnout for a project I really wanted to work on but I just couldn't get past the mental block. I was able to throw cursor at it and make very solid progress. Now it's also my notes and research assistant.

Working on an absolutely cracked project idea involving zero-trust federation, MLS, paxos, @iroh.computer and CRDTs 👀 I hope this works out because the idea is really really cool

I'm pretty against using AI in my own software but this latest wave of discourse is very 🍿

I'm so ready to set up my own git forge when I move. I'm very much looking forward to ditching github and owning my own code backups. Current plan is to set up a tangled.sh knot, hosted in my home (with backups in s3). I want to keep the social aspect of github, I hope tangled does this well

Twitter is the new LinkedIn

In case you didn't know. Lightweight crypto(graphy) doesn't mean weak crypto. Lightweight constructions like ascon-aead are not designed to be faster than chacha20. I think in practice they're usually slower. They're actually intended to encrypt smaller block sizes with less working memory

The only limitation at the moment is in rustc/llvm/linker. Unfortunately the only workaround I've found forces us to marginally bloat the binary size. It has no runtime impact but it's still annoying. My attempt to modify rustc caused crazy link errors so I gave up 😅

github.com/tokio-rs/tok... 👀 Userspace Statically Defined Tracepoints is a cool concept. With root access, you can attach dtrace or bpftrace to your program and see what your program is up to at those tracepoints. Any other time, those tracepoints are literal NOP instructions.

At the @rustfoundation.org we're hiring another Infrastructure Engineer to join my team. We'll work together to make #rustlang more scalable, sustainable and improve the developer experience of Rust contributors and Rust developers! 🌈

The Rust Foundation is hiring a Rust Infrastructure Engineer! Help scale & secure the systems that power Rust & support its global community. 🌍 If you’re passionate about OSS & infrastructure, we’d love to hear from you. Learn more and apply here by Oct 26: app.beapplied.com/apply/wus8sn...

I want a home server to store files, transcode video, and also serve some basic websites. I'd like it to be low power but I'm not too bothered about spending a little bit on it. My current thoughts are getting an Ampere Altra arm cpu and an Intel Arc gpu. Not sure if that's a good idea just yet lol

Christian does amazing work on our storage systems at Neon. I wish I had more excuses to work closely with him. I highly recommend watching this one.

In an effort to move away from Triangle host, I'm gonna experiment with a github-pages-esque hosting based on atproto. The only problem to solve is CNAME handling but it should be easy enough

Finally sharing what I’ve been building for almost a year now! 🐢✨ Atuin Desktop: runbooks that run It’s open source and in open beta now 🥰 Built for engineers who need repeatable, reliable workflows. No more copy-pasting from slack or outdated docs

Package manager built on ATProto? Yes or no?

Sometimes I wonder if my I'm one of only 100 people on the planet who have the same job as me. I can't imagine many people have their main responsibility being writing custom postgres proxy services all day

github.com/conradludgat... Managed to combine all of this into a format I'm happy with. I've got both FIPS support for v3, libsodium support for v4, RustCrypto support for both. I'm using generic tokens but also exposing type aliases for ease of use.

Considering rewriting my paseto/paserk impls atm. PASETO V3 features only NIST algorithms, whereas V4 features only libsodium/nacl I'm wondering: 1. Does it make sense to keep v3 and v4 in the same library? 2. If you need v3, do you also need FIPS?

my power move is pouring hot water into an empty tea mug and then simply walking away

Amazing how fast Hollow Knight stopped being one of my most beloved games given how toxic the community has become since silksong came out :/

The full moon before the lunar eclipse is so incredibly bright right now. I had to lower my ISO and shutter speed as low as my phone would let me to get any detail whatsoever
