Do you pronounce docs.rs as "doxxers" or is that just me?

Another day, another Rust feature stabilized at the exact moment I need it. God bless these lib angels. May all their grilled cheeze sandwidtches be the crispiest and the gooziest.

This little fucker was climbing on my hand before I noticed him. My heart did not respond well to that. If a bigger, faster one gets too close to me I'll probably perish.

Love when the narrator is also a character. Maybe just love characters. Maybe just need more drunk nuns.

jsdelivr is serving a corrupted range request. Content-Length is 4096, but actual received length is 64 bytes. These bytes don't appear in the full file so... disk/memory corruption?

Only seems to happen when cf-cache-status is "hit" and x-cache is "miss, miss" so maybe a Cloudflare issue?

I need a hero (someone who knows DNS configs) to save me (tell me how to resolve to a random sampling within a subnet).

Issue 9000 of Evan cannot devop:

networkd stalls when udev is not installed (as is the case if you install systemd in a debian container but didn't also install udev).

I never used to question that software was my thing.
But today I'm not sure software is my thing.

I call one of my WebRTC tricks a "threesome of ICE agents" because it uses a semi-stateless proxy to fixup/constify the credentials between two browser RFC 8445 agents.

I don't know how I feel about the phrase anymore with America being like this.

Rust API opinion:
# [non_exhaustive] enums should not have a catch-all variant because the meaning of it changes (shrinks) as you add variants.

It's better to use a Result somewhere, but if you still want one then mark it as # [doc(hidden)] so that users know they're relying on internals.
