there's still a bit of work to do — but it's happening.

A table titled "Zero-Copy / Borrowing" and "Compound Types" showing various data types and their compatibility with different formats (json, kdl, yaml, toml, msgpack, asn1, xdr, args, urlenc, csv). The table includes tick marks (✓) and colored circles (green, yellow, red) indicating the types' borrowing capabilities across the board.

A screenshot of a file directory displayed on a dark background, featuring multiple folders labeled with various names, including "facet-args," "facet-asn1," "facet-core," "facet-csv," "facet-diff," "facet-json," "facet-kdl," "facet-macros-emit," "facet-macros-parse," "facet-macros," "facet-msg A terminal window displaying a summary of test results. The summary indicates a total of 1,266 tests run, with 1,266 passing and 22 skipped. The overall duration of the test run is approximately 3.23 seconds. The context mentions the main branch and references version 1.88.0, along with a crab icon. The output is presented in a dark-themed interface

I mean C'MON isn't that gorgeous (I know, miette is cheating but still)
Code snippet displaying an error message indicating that JSON cannot be disambiguated due to multiple configurations matching. It provides context about the JSON structure, along with suggestions for resolving the ambiguity by adding unique fields or restructuring types. The snippet includes specific errors related to two configurations, `OverlapEnum::A` and `OverlapEnum::B`, along with corresponding help messages suggesting unique fields for disambiguation.

"ansible replacement plan" update: I made facet-kdl /really good/ (in screenshot: miette reports)

finishing that up, then moving on to the other components.
Displaying a terminal output indicating a "Nextest run" with an ID, starting tests across two binaries, and a list of multiple validation errors. The errors specify a failed task validation, citing issues with the build timeout being set to zero and the test timeout being too large. The relevant messages are color-coded for emphasis.

A screenshot of the Debian 12 installation interface displaying the "Select and install software" step. The progress bar shows that it is currently "Configuring ca-certificates (amd64)" with a filled portion indicating the installation progress. The background is light, and the interface features a turquoise progress bar.

til websocket has a logo??? wtf does it even represent?
It's a green circle and there's something with two sides inside of it that are vaguely polygonal. It's pretty hard to describe.

I think I've unlocked my first local LLM use case, and it's to clean up the output of a voice recognition model — my MacBook runs Whisper Large V3 quantized, and then it sends the output to my Mac Studio, which cleans it up with Qwen3 4B.

It's not as fast as Cerebras, but you know... It's local 😭
A screenshot of the VoiceInk enhancements tabs configuration. The AI provider is custom. The endpoint is souffle.local, which is the name of my Mac studio. The model is qwen3-4b-2507. And the API key is dummy because there's no authentication going on. A screenshot of LM Studio running locally. You can see in the developer logs the completion that it did to fix up the voice transcription, where it says it's not as fast as Cerebras, but you know.

aaaah finally some reinforcements
I now have six remote runners for my PeerTube instance. Home is one of my Mac machines, souffle is one of my PCs at home, and the other three are 32‑core dedicated CPU instances on Hetzner.

Plot twist!!! Hetzner already did the increase to 128, they just didn't tell me, no email no notification no nothing, but the limit is up!!!! letsgo

Weeee
3 CCX53 runners that each have 32 cores.

State of State of Rust Survey Results, Part 3/3:
Would you like to note that you're mad about orphan rules even though there's no reasonable way out of them? 41.11% I'd like that. 58.89% shrugging kaomoji. cargo dot dot dot question mark, 42.22% space, 57.78% pants.

State of state of rust survey results, part two:
Do you like eating croissants paid for by the military industrial complex? 38.04%, they're the tastiest. 61.96% no. Do you think big companies should chip in for crates.io bandwidth and/or deploy their own caches locally? 45.65% obviously. 52.17% obviously but in yellow. 2.17% nah. Do you sometimes stay up at night getting sad over how badly mismanaged the Rust Foundation is and how unlikely it is that we'll ever get a second shot at doing it right? 57.30%: crying emoji. 42.70%: no, everything's fine. Were you hype for keyword generics, then for another thing, then now for capture or whatever, and you're scared none of these are ever going to happen actually? 50.55%? Yes. Sad Smiley. 49.45%? What?

The results of the "State of (State of Rust Survey) Survey" are in! (1/?)
How happy were you with the state of Rust 2025 survey? 9.89% Surprisingly happy 71.43% The regular amount of happy 15.38% Some minor concerns but eh 3.30% Pissed, actually If you answered pissed, why? I have 20 years of experience in embedded programming of TLS/HTTPS on RISC-V microcontrollers in Rust. There was no way to express 20+ years experience. Because it was the same as shit as last year. Basically the same but the "what do you use section" Do you feel like the "which nightly feature would you like most" is more about false hope than it is about prioritizing? 64.44% Yeah tbh 35.56% No Did you lose your job in the past 18 months because of a return-to-office policy? 2.20% Yeah... 97.80% No

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I will ship cookies to the person who improve zed config file auto-completion to include the schema for rust-analyzer configuration.

(we can negotiate other pastries for other language servers)
A screenshot of Zed editing configuration for Rust Analyzer. It doesn't have code intelligence. It doesn't have autocomplete. It doesn't have any sort of validation, and I hate it.

hey why'd the scale stop here!!! I've been coding for... 21 years, FUCK.

my first projects are old enough to drink in the US!!!
How long have you been programming in any language for any reason? Less than one year, less than three years, less than five years, less than 10 years, more than 10 years. with the more than 10 years option selected.
