Winter type feels here in The Netherlands this morning.

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 🤷🏻‍♂️

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.

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.

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

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.

The new shiny that has me most interested this time around is being able to spin a "development playground". Using Disposable VM templates, I've populated both #Debian 10 and #Fedora 32 environments with my #Emacs settings, and tools for #Python and #Rust #development.

This lets me use powerful DispVMs to serve as staging grounds for things I'm not sure about using in Template/AppVMs yet, and then qvm-copy/move any notes or code I care about into Qubes with persistence for later use.

The power afforded by creating various NetVMs and/or ProxyVMs to allow you to be on numerous physical and/or virtual networks simultaneously (given enough network devices) was what attracted me to #QubesOS the most in the past, as much of my work at the time was down in the network realm. These features are still extremely useful, and along with compartmentalization, are what brought me back.
