Today was an enhanced productivity thanks to #Emacs Ediff mode, and then attacker smackdown with subsequent analysis thanks to my custom #QubesOS DisposableVM templates.

Happy Monday 🤷🏻‍♂️

@purism thanks for taking the time to get it right! I can’t speak for everyone but I can certainly wait.

Not a bad Sunday when you manage a feature release and finish spinning some yarn! #handspun #menwhoknit

Released v0.3.0 of my connection checking #Rust crate, adding support for testing POST requests with JSON bodies. Next release will move to asynchronous task execution.

Today, I’m going to work on some new features in one of my Rust projects and also on finishing some yarn I’ve been spinning since August.

@Gina for specific topics I do tend to buy well ranked (and maintained) Udemy courses. That’s not a one time cost at the platform level, but for the subject matter these get updated as the subject evolves and that’s been helpful. I’ve heard good things about Linuxacademy as well, though I have no personal experience using it. Are there specific areas of cloud infrastructure, devops, and programming you’re looking to study?

@Gina as a manager hiring that exact skillset I would suggest that the ability to be productive after (or while) turning to available documentation is the thing I look for most. Fortunately, the documentation is most often free for Infrastructure (Azure, AWS, and GCP all have extensive docs, and free trials for access), many cloud technologies are rebrands of FOSS projects (containers, etc), DevOps is problem solving at scale, #Python and #Rust both have great docs and community resources.

My earlier #Rust trip down #async lane was nowhere near as difficult as I expected it to be. I’ve got some questions I need to research where error handling inside async functions is concerned, but I was able to get some good concurrency happening today and that’s doesn’t upset me one bit.

Today’s as good as any for a bit of async #Rust tinkering.

@kyle yeah, I think the quote would stand if adjusted to note that their hardware innovations exist to further vendor lock in, and to maintain their total rule over software and data existing on the platform.

I read comments on a Twitter post. Leaving this here as a reminder to never do that again.

@codesections @technomancy nice! I’m on my fourth or fifth mechanical now, and have toyed with the idea of going ergo ortho but haven’t quite made the jump.

Did some Emacs Org-mode flexing today in my extended meeting schedule. Very glad I decided after decades of vi advocacy to give Emacs a shot.

@kyle we even have apps to talk to spirits I’m sure

@purism very exciting!

@dos that’s great! Might breathe new life into a small wireless keyboard I used to use when my day to day involved an RPi with a tiny screen and a battery pack so I could have a small computer with a real terminal in my pocket. Glad there’s now a much better way to accomplish that, and can’t wait to get my Librem 5
