Euphonica is a new(ish) Rust-based MPD frontend for Linux with 'bling' as a key feature. It's currently in beta, but fans of flashy music players will want to keep an eye on this.

I tried loco.rs
I will not be trying loco.rs again, unfortunately.
@froge and now we all learbed 3 things:
1.
Just because it's written in #Rust doesn't make it secure.2.
NEVER #DIY #encryption!3.
#Software needs to be maintained and audited and maintained…!
Hey #embedded #rust folks, help me out: one of the great things about @zephyr is the ability to have one application that can be built for different board/shield combinations and "just do the right thing". So far from reviewing the landscape, I haven't found any examples solving this problem in Rust. Lots of examples where the apps, or tests, are hard coded to a specific target.
Am I missing something? Is the answer here the maybe workable, but annoying "create a new crate setup each time"?
Season 4 of the Rust in Production podcast is a wrap!
We had amazing guests from Microsoft, Astral, and more, discussing Rust's role in foundational software.
We collected our favorite quotes from this season in our season finale!

Between a combination of using `const` blocks and (primarily) intelligently omitting what code is emitted, I managed to cut the output of the `format_description!` macro in `time` by 65–70% for a typical use case. All other macros emit less code as well.
Nothing super flashy, but there will be a release of `time` relatively soon. It will include an MSRV bump to 1.81.0 (released 2024-09-05). It's first MSRV bump in two years. Some new types are under development.
Around 8% Of Debian Source Packages Are Building Against Rust Libraries - Phoronix
「 That 8% figure for Debian source packages building against at least one Rust library package is around double of what it is for Debian 12 "Bookworm" 」
Good morning.
23 July 2025
When we got home, the grass was nearly knee-high in places. I mowed a bit yesterday evening, but most of it is still waiting for me. Funny thing is, all I really felt like doing was sitting with my feet up—I had to nudge myself just to tackle the few small tasks I managed.
I keep telling my wife we need a staff: perhaps a butler named Giles, a maid named Hazel, and a groundskeeper named George. Hmm… does the butler double as a chauffeur? Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to you...
But here on earth, I’ll load the gas cans into the truck, and Charlie and I will head out to fill them up this morning. We were only gone 11 days—confirmed by the vet’s bill for boarding.

Alternative Ergonomic Ref-counting RFC
Does #Rust have any kind of property syntax like C# / Objective-C (or that you can fudge with proxies in C++), so I can write a.property = value
and have a method called to set the property?
