My tiny, fanless low-power home server just hit a year of uptime 🎉 It runs LAMP, NextCloud, Jitsi and a bunch of other services and has essentially been running my life for the past 15 years. www.flypig.co.uk/?page=blog&list_id…

My home server, on a bookshelf, sat beneath a Wifi router.

I think it's worth linking this piece as well, which I find equally powerful. www.turing.ac.uk/blog/alan-turings-…

From the Turing Institute's Twitter feed. Affecting stuff. Alan Turing, born on this day in 1912, was a pioneering mathematician, computer scientist, philosopher, code-breaker and icon of the 20th century. We asked the Institute community what Alan Turing means to them: tinyurl.com/2p9dpfbe

We've been learning about #Rustlang lifetime annotations in our Rust reading group at the #TuringInst. One of my colleagues wrote up this really neat, clear summary for functions. Rust's compile-time checks are fascinating. yongrenjie.github.io/posts/lifetimes

A diagram with lifetime durations for resolving lifetime parameters, an example from the post.
