A language empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

from rust-lang.org

Rust by itself is a great language, but what really makes it shine are its many great crates. The ecosystem around rust is one of the best there is, and its documentation is practically unrivalled. So lets look at some of those crates!

actix-web

Actix-web is an amazing web server framework for rust. It's modular, easy to use, intuitive and fast. It's also what lemmy is built on! So when you use this very site, you are using something build with actix!

Bevy

Bevy is a code first game engine for rust, based on the ECS paradigm. It's incredibly refreshing and different from most other engines. It is also unbelievably modular, in fact, just about every part of the engine cam be removed or added as you please! If you are every looking for something simple to play around, try bevy!

Tokio

The backbone of most asynchronous rust. It provides everything needed to build reliable, fast web applications!

Serde

Serde is the go-to library for serialization and deserialisation in rust. Its derive macros make it a breeze to use, and there are countless crates supporting various formats with Serde!

SQLx

SQLx is an amazingly simple sql handling crate. It is both feature rich and yet simple, and just a joy to use!

Reqwest

A neat little crate for sending http(s) requests! It's also used in Lemmy, and just about anywhere else where someone needs to do get some thing from an http(s) endpoint!

And this is far from all! Rust is a lovely language, with an even more amazing ecosystem!

Have an amazing week, everyone!

child behavior issues, parenting issues??

We got a kid who's pretty sick. But parents are refusing everything, and like literally everything.

No bloodwork, no oxygen, no swabs, no oral meds, no IV, and so on. Mostly because the child is screaming they don't want to, meanwhile desatting to 70% and finally "chilling out" which the parents interpret as working

But why bring your child in if you don't want interventions done? We've explained that being under 80% for a long time means possible brain injury and possibly respiratory failure even death. We can't help her if you refuse all interventions. Your kid isn't going to agree to having prongs put in, but your kid isn't in charge of their own health when they're 5 years old because they don't have that capacity yet??? Your kid isn't going to like having swabs done

today, hexbear.net user EstraDoll has for whatever reason again decided to post things that should not be posted

i have the absolute worst hobby of "punching random characters into rule34 to see how many tags they have"

220 tags for the movie "Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer"

[-] AntifaSuperWombat@hexbear.net 12 points 16 hours ago

Eh, probably one of the more amusing hobbies out there tbh. shrug-outta-hecks

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 14 points 17 hours ago

I used to do this on fan fiction sites. Turns out Sonic fanfic is amazingly popular.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 9 points 14 hours ago

Same! I try to look for the ones with the least fics, Age of Wonders has 2 on ao3 and they're both about Planetfall or whatever the scifi spin off was

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I try to look for really bad but hilarious ones. The funniest one still to this day is an old one called Batman & Robocop: The Day Men Found Love. It’s… Interesting, to say the least. I’d throw out a CW for it, but I can’t really explain what the CW is for exactly. It’s just too weird. All I can really say is that the words “penis grenade” will be forever etched into your psyche after reading it.

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 6 points 14 hours ago

Two Piggies, one made of metal and one of Massive Mental Issues. They fuck.

that sounds fantastic

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 7 points 14 hours ago

Oh it’s even better than that.

spoiler

Robocop NEEDS to have sex with Batman because he discovered his true identity and now needs to eject his memories from his butt to preserve Batman’s secret. He can only do that by having sex, but he left his mechanical penis back at the station, and so has to rummage through the trash for a substitute. This is all explained in the story and makes total sense. /s

[-] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 5 points 13 hours ago

That sounds real dumb. catgirl-huh

~so~ ~uh~~....it's~ ~on~ ~ao3?~

[-] Carcharodonna@hexbear.net 5 points 12 hours ago

It’s on fanfiction.net: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/5667740/1/Batman-and-Robocop-The-Day-the-Men-Found-Love (CW: I DON’T EVEN KNOW)

Woke up anxious so probably gonna do some cooking of tofu-cool and then self care like shaving and doing my nails again. Food and looking good usually put me in a good mood

[-] Wmill@hexbear.net 9 points 15 hours ago

I got the nail polish remover right next to me but gonna see if I can peel off the old polish first, something satisfying about getting it off in one go

continuing marvel rivals talk from last mega:)

@genderbitch@hexbear.net for sure i expect aggressive monetisation. i'm not sure if it's clear yet whether heroes will cost money... that would really suck, i can live with skins etc. yeah the chars are fun so far! i'm really enjoying jeff the shark and venom. can't say i know anything about moon knight lol this is the first time i've engaged with anything marvel in a long time. the performance def is an issue, kinda ridiculous to make a game like this in UE5 lol... on everything low except textures + the engine.ini config fixes i can get around 100fps in-game, it's pretty map-dependent though so there definitely is performance issues going on. i've got a 1080ti, seems like anything older than that would really struggle. OW2 runs much better.

@Ceres@hexbear.net yeah, it's more or less scratching the OW1 itch for me at the moment, it's pretty well put together arena shooter. we'll see how long the novelty lasts, whether it's well supported or they start charging for heroes i guess. i'm really enjoying jeff the shark and venom, haven't touched many other chars yet. mantis looks cool, all the supports do tbh i like how independent they are, you can totally 1v1 a dps if you're good on most of them it seems.

[-] genderbitch@hexbear.net 9 points 16 hours ago

Ditto on not engaging with Marvel stuff in a while. I know a decent amount, largely from games and shows, but I'm mostly a DC bitch. Though there's a few series I'm fond of, e.g. Moon Knight & X-Men, so it's cool to see MK and Magik in game. Can't say I've tried Jeff the Shark, he's an annoying little fucker to play against though.

Ooh, I didn't realize there were ini tweaks out there already. I'll have to go try and check them out. I've got a 4060 laptop which is theoretically not too bad, but still struggles to run anything new.

[-] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 7 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

jeff is cracked they're def gonna nerf his ult lol. here's the ini tweaks i'm using if you're interested, improved my fps by 40 or so: https://pastebin.com/Vxsq03pW

copy this into a notepad name it engine.ini put it in C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Marvel\Saved\Config\Windows, set read only. Config disables lots of useless stuff, the game becomes much clearer, improves FPS, removes stutters and freezes

i'm playing on linux too so pretty happy it's playable at all with the state of anti-cheat out there...
