I’m stealing this 👍

I’m going to say yes as I sit here wearing a fedora tank top.

Hey thanks I’m sure they will be!

Awesome thanks!

I wasn’t aware of the Github pages being free that’s neat. It is fully static (running on nginx but generated with hugo) and I use freedns.afraid.org for the domains. Good to know thanks for the tip :)

My site is also statically generated from templates I keep in a private git repo hosted on github I keep local backups of, but I do the generating directly on the server. I just pull the site and generate it manually whenever I do an update. I like the sound of your setup better thanks for the pointers!

Thanks for the tip I’ll definitely take a look! That’s not bad at all and I prefer yearly payments.

That’s not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it’s on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.

I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.

They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.

I saw it put really well the other day. Any software has in general a set number of bugs per lines of code. Something like Debian the number of bugs goes down after release as only bugfixes occur, while anything constantly moving like a rolling release, is certain to grow in number of bugs as the less tested newer software (which generally includes more loc) is pushed. There are tradeoffs to both methods, and edge cases of course.

I had no idea it was standard. I had heard they had issues with it not being able to handle certain constructs so they were working on getting it to a place it would perform better. Has this changed? I’m not a rust person, but I intend to be. I’ve barely made it 1/4th way into the book (just started in the past month and I’ve been busy), but I have a good background in programming and so far it’s been super easy. I’m really enjoying how specific the compiler is, and the binary sizes vs Go.

gofumpt and gofmt are the best. One of the reasons if I have a choice I’ll code in go. I heard rumblings that rust was working towards having rustfmt be a standard crate.

I used c++ in college, and I think it’s useful to know c because so much relies on it. That said if I’m going to do something that needs performance I’ll look to go first, then rust if go isn’t a good fit, but that’s mostly because I know go better. Both are excellent languages.

If I just need something functional quick and easily I’ll turn to Python. If I need a net service quick node.js is great.
