Chip Thomas was born and raised in North Carolina. He then moved to the Navajo Nation in 1987 to work as a family physician in a remote, underserved region. "I had thought that because of the isolation I would be there initially for two years," Thomas said. "But my two years turned into 36." His […]

Advance #abpoli voting didn't take *too* long. About 20 minutes? Curiosity: unlike the federal paper ballots these ones did not include duplicate audit numbers on the actual ballots. Thus you cannot answer the question, "did this polling place issue this ballot to a voter?" at all (unlike […]

I pulled the daily pypistats numbers. The jump starts on Monday Aug 31, and the extra downloads are all Linux and Python 3.14. spake2 and txtorcon jumped by the same amount that day, while the mailbox server package stayed flat. My guess is a CI pipeline that started installing the client.

People who #ZFS ... I have two new identical spinning-rust drives to make a bigger redundant storage thing (for backups, mostly). I'm currently using LVM2. I'm told ZFS is best in every respect, so okay I'll try it. I'm using Debian (stable, with some backports). Will I have a good time with […]

Hrmm, looks like #magicWormhole had a big jump in downloads last month: pypistats.org/packages/magic-wormho… I don't have a good explanation for this (from "hundreds of thousands" to "3+ million"). It's just coincidence that this is for September, riiiight?? Any ideas? #python #infosec

A graph produced by PyPIStats.org showing daily downloads for magic-wormhole over a few month period. There is a big jump (from "under 50k" to "about 150k" starting in September).

I randomly ran across Tuari (I think: "again") which is a Rust based thing that's lets you do cross-platform development with a Rust core and Web UX. Have any #infosec people looked at their security model? It does seem _better_ than others I've looked at, but still uses TCP locally and doesn't […]

@steveklabnik.com Coming from mostly Python based async (Twisted, and some amount of asyncio) I found this essay without.boats/blog/why-async-rust to really help explain some of the OTHER stuff around async in Rust (beyond I/O). The origin-story helped me 😀 Overall I've found tokio and […]

Async Rust: Where does the scheduler live?

It turns out that some issues people have with async Rust are just downstream of hard concurrency problems.

A nice-looking but very simple GraphViz-drawn state-machine diagram with two states ("on" and "off") and a "push_button" transition between the two.

...if that's "the error" or just a warning I can ignore. Any help or pointers appreciated. (Not useful: suggesting other CAM software)

@meejah You can try this one: hinokodo.itch.io/human-made I personally have been putting more explicit categories -- nothing, busywork only (commit messages, for example), only identifying bugs, etc. with a simple block in the README and a simple image button.

@meejah Maybe you could put the async support behind a Cargo feature?

@benjamingeer yeah, that's discussed in one of the blog posts I link in the thread .. it's hard to see how to actually do that without having two entire implementations: one with "fn async" functions and one with synchronous ones. I'd like to avoid two entire implementations. It might be […]

One of the great articles on this stuff from withoutboats is this one: without.boats/blog/let-futures-be-f… This helped me see some of the cool bonus features and context for Rust's Futures and async/await syntax (and how they connect to Iterators). Pretty long, but worth it […]

If one is doing networking stuff in #Rust it's really nice to use #async (*ahem* #Tokio). But of course, it's also nice to be able to reach for "blocking" / threaded versions for simple use-cases. "reqwest" handles this by providing "reqwest::blocking::*" which essentially runs a Tokio thread […]
