This looks so awesome
this is just a simple MVP that essentially gives you a `top(1)`-like view of all the async tasks currently running on a @tokio_rs runtime. we've got a *lot* more planned for future iterations...so if this is something you're into, come help out at github.com/tokio-rs/console!

We're trying out a another beta release of Rustup (@rustlang installer) and we'd like testers to have a go with it if they had issues with 1.24.1 allocating memory in their CI. Details here - internals.rust-lang.org/t/seβ¦

Today in 1964 BASIC made its debut, in an effort to take programming out of the world of machine language.
Share if you're old enough to have gotten your start with it.

I am incredibly sad that public CI services have had to tune down their provision due to cryptocurrency wankers -- as a result the development loop when designing new CI for a project is so much longer that I risk losing interest in the work I'm doing :(

Hear hear - you often hear touted "We are a diverse workplace" but all that means is that there's a variety of people present.
An **inclusive** workplace, though, is one which encourages and celebrates these differences - finding value in everyone's individuality.

Thank you to everyone who helped us beta-test this fix.
We have fixed the regression, and Rustup 1.24.1 is here!
$ rustup self update
If there's any more issues, we'll be watching out for them!

Sadly, as is always the way, we found a small regression after the release. This time it was irritating enough that we rolled back while we bake the fix. Sorry for the pain everyone, we'll have 1.24.1 when we're sure the fix is good.
A regression was found in the Rustup 1.24.0 release and we rolled back to 1.23.1. Running `rustup self update` will roll you back to the previous version. We're sorry for the issue.

I think nixos has properly infected me. On my walk today I pondered a nixos host, running firecracker VMs each running nixos as a container host running nixos built containers. My brain has hit its recursion limit and its stack has toppled.

100% this - I'm going to steal "Captain Planet villain" though as another way to describe this hateful techbro ponzi scheme enabling technology
Cryptocurrency is literally like an eight-year-old's concept of an evil businessman. He just plugs his pollution machine in and gets money for it. It doesn't make anything, it just. Pollutes. And makes money. Like a fucking Captain Planet villain

Hey @monzo is there a dark theme for the android app?

People sometimes treat Rust as if it was a very Big Brain language, for Big Brain programmers only. But this mostly ends inside the compiler. I am interested in Rust because I have much too smol a brain for e.g. hard concurrency problems in almost anything else.

I decided the use of bitwarden-cli was a bit iffy, for now I've dropped it from my dodgy installer which is now all nix-flakesy
So far my biggest complaint with NixOS is the incredible disparity between support for *using* some feature and for *setting up* said feature.
Case in point, Yubikey+LUKS. The initrd support is very nice and clean and clever. But actually setting it up requires so much faff.

Yesterday's NixOS experiments were left with a functional computer whose desktop felt like home \o/. But it's a big mess of hacks. After some more hacks tonight I need to start turning all that into proper declarative config including home-manager. Any suggested examples?
Urgh, I know this test laptop (x201) is ancient, but why is nixos shutting down during install? No hints shown that I can catch before it's too late :( I now can't even get the USB to boot all the way to the nixos desktop before it shuts down. (overheating?)

So far I have to say that my nixos experience is underwhelming. Particularly the utter lack of any installer to make it easier to get started.
Does anyone know of a nixos installer which can do EFI boot, FDE, LVM, etc. ?

So, I'm being tempted to have a play with nixos on a throwaway VM. Does anyone have a recommendation of how to get into it? @grhmc perhaps?
