I like that they now have rustls 0.21 support! Not that I know anything wrong with rustls 0.20, but I was always annoyed that cargo outdated pointed out that my rustls was outdated, and I wan't allowed to fix it :)

I hope this means that it will be easier for Lemmy to support the passkey standard. Now, I assume it will take a while until this is production ready, since the standard seems to be in a quite early stage.

Absolutely nothing.... but for some reason I find it interesting when people rewrite things that I didn't know needed rewrites. Sometimes these projects are doing someting really interesting. Grep is one such example, noone was saying that grep needed a replacement. In fact, it was used as a benchmark for regex (which is how rg started, to compare rust regex against grep), then someone creates rg that outperforms grep and is much nicer to use. That is also why I keep an eye on GitOxide, since nobody ever accused git of being slow, yet there are someone rewriting git with amazing performance improvements.

bat and rg I actually have already.... but now you make me waste so much time fiddling with all these ;)

I still think this works better with a rust hashtag, than as a community ping, since that creates a new post in the Lemmy forum.

Ok, this is from Mastodon.... Then I'm sorry if I sounded a bit hars, then I understand the format of this post.

This seems to be nothing other than shameless self promotion. Mods?

In short, running an instance requires quite a bit of work, so having a really small instance might be quiet a challenge. Programming.dev is still niche, but large enough to not be a one man show.

The problem with lemmyrs.org seems to be that it is poorly maintained, still on Lemmy 17.4 and few moderators aso. Programming.dev otoh is very well maintained, well moderated and still not a huge centralized place. It also host many other interesting resources for programmers. Also, the structure of lemmyrs.org with many smaller communities doesn't work really well at the moment, it would require a huge number of users to avoid these communities being ghost towns.
