Best #rustlang blogpost I've seen in a while by Sebastian Różyczka, well done! someblog.dev/en/blog/nobo... There's also a first part comparing #scala with Rust.
Nobody's coming to clean up after you
Rust has no garbage collector — so who frees the memory? Part 2 of a Scala-to-Rust series: ownership, move semantics, and the moment borrowing clicked.

After five months of (on and off) development, I'm glad to announce niri v26.04! It's packed with features like window blur (of course), mouse cursor in window screencasts, rendering optimizations, and more. Enjoy the release notes: github.com/niri-wm/niri... #niri #wayland #rust
🗞️ For your weekend perusal, check out Unison community member @zetashift-01.bsky.social's latest blog post! Here, he's using Unison Cloud Daemons to write an uptime notifier! zetashift.unison-services.cloud/s/blog/posts...
zetashift's blog
I saw this repository by yorickpeterse where fish and podman were used to create an uptime notifier and thought it was a very cool, readable repository. And fish is a great shell as well, so double fun. It motivated me to try to do something similar with Unison Cloud and document parts of it.

Btw I'm working on window blur in niri! Both xray and regular. Xray always "shows through" to the background. This allows it to be very efficient: compute blurred texture only once, then just draw that texture (very cheap). Not a single blur recomputation in this video! #niri

Trying to migrate away from Google Photos is a monumental task that I have postponed forever... Now trying both immich.app (self-hosted) and ente.io (free-tier account). Hosting a photo server is easy, but dealing with replicas and backups is the difficult (and costly) part to get right.
