I kinda like Junie from Jetbrains. It's nice that it is included in the subscription. I use it to automate boring stuff, for example to create an ansible playbook for deploying Stirling PDF as a systemd quadlet and setup the reverse proxy. #selfhosting

I started working on a Rust project that I've created a year ago after one year of not working on it. The pause actually helped because I feel like Rust clicks more with me. I've made some meaningful refactors by sharing code under a common trait and encapsulating data into crates. #rust

I think I finally got the hang of Gitlab's ecosystem. Added a custom runner to it and configured container registry this morning

I've removed the std dependency on my Chip8 emulator's core crate, also beaten breakout game for the first time. The code is available on forgejo[1] [1] - forge.nuculabs.dev/dnutiu/chip8-rust #chip8 #rustlang

After tinkering around with SELinux, I've managed to host my peertube server with podman, volumes on a samba share and proper CIL policies. I'll write a blog post. Essentially I've used audit2allow to find which policies I need to add to the .cil file. And it's something like this:

Found a nice article on getting started with SDL2 in Rust[1] and I've written a simple sdl2 display backend for my chip8 emulator. Going to remove the std dependency on the core someday #rust #chip8

Came back to the chip8 emulator project and refactored it to use workspaces. I have one library crate for the core and one binary crate for the Terminal UI program. I'd like to implement a binary crate that uses SDL as well, and remove the standard library dependency from the core crate. #chip8

Modified my Chip8 emulator's display rendering code and now it looks much better. I got inspired another emulation project written in Rust with ratatui. I thought I need to draw everything inside the canvas, didn't know I could draw individual blocks. #chip8 #rust

I like how this code turned out. From and Into are conversion traits in Rust, used to convert between types. If you implement the From trait for a type, you get a free Into implementation because the standard library has a generic blanked implementation. 🦀 #rustlang #rust #programming #dev

Solved the latest bug with my bot. Didn't know why upload blob for an image wasn't working. I've debugged it with netcat -l. Seems like I was sending b64 data to BlueSky and that was the reason the call didn't work. It returned 200 OK though. Here's the code in Rust for the upload image method:

The code in Rust for reading from Redis Streams and de-serialize JSON data into a compatible type. Currently reading one by one and automatically acknowledging reads

I'm building a BlueSky bot in #rustlang, made the decision to do it in Rust in order to learn the language and oh boy I have used async Rust via Tokio for the first time, the Redis client and Dockerized it.
