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!

    would it be weird to go to a clinic like Planned Parenthood for gender affirming care but to only ask for finasteride? I will likely get on proper HRT at some point, I’m still thinking about it, but my hair needs to be fixed NAOW. Would a trichologist/dermatologist be more appropriate?

    suicide, dysphoria

    I’m never going to be happy. I don’t like any of my options. This is torment. T has ruined my body and voice forever. At best I’ll be seen as some weird “other”. All I want is acceptance and my body to not be ruined. I’m going to get neither.

    There are so many things in life that are interesting and I want to see, experience, do. Can’t do shit if I’m suffering like this. It won’t end until I kill myself. The only way to actually make it stop is a gun. Wish I could see the brain that has tormented me my entire life finally destroyed. Fuck it. I fucking hate it. Responsible for so much of my pain. Its incurable.

    Life is bullshit and its only worse being trans, autistic, avpd, whatever else. I am defective. I never wanted to be an adult. Its only gotten worse. I hate it. This is shit. Its hopeless. I will never be happy. Why live in hell. Being destroyed forever would be kinder.

    Unfortunate. Whatever. What can you do. Literally nothing. Fucking survival instinct. Why is there so much shit to do before I die. Need to lock my devices up. Figure out smth to do about my pets. Should write notes. Obviously get over myself and pull the trigger. Oh, figure out my girl shit too. Probably have to throw it away.

    I’m pathetic. A waste. A useless, toxic asshole. I suck. I will never be good enough. Barely even try. Sucks that a few people will miss me and it sucks my dad is going to feel guilty. Whatever, honestly people shouldn’t feel bad about it. I’m suffering, and will continue to suffer until I stop it. Why be sad about that.

    Life is empty. Hollow. Meaningless. The “meaning” is to make yourself happy. Can’t have that. I am unhappy with the very core of who I am. With every inch of this prison. Everyone has the fucking nerve to hate me for that. Sorry I’m not cis. Sorry I think life is awful. Like I want to feel poisoned, like I want life to be hell.

    Why is my one life, my little bit of time to be sentient this shit. I have never been able to understand how so many people are (seemingly???) happy with this. My brain must just be wired different. Defective.

    Being amab ruined my chance of feeling accepted, normal and liked by basically everyone. T puberty then ruined any chance of being happy with myself. Its over. Why fucking live. I just want to be happy with how I exist in the world. But I never will be. My voice will always be dogshit. I’ll always tower over everyone. I will always feel like a man. I look horrible. I know how we are viewed by society. I don’t want that. Not like I’ll be happy with myself anyway. Its hopeless. Why do I try and resist any of this.

    unhinged, method/self harm

    I want to take my razor and slice my arms open. Watch the blood come out. god I want to watch blood so much. I don’t know what I want the result to be I just want to do it. I won’t. Well I might cut myself at some point but it won’t be this dramatic

    Talked to my dad as well and he was more chill about me taking DIY. He was still against it but said it’s my decision. He showed more understanding, compared to my mom who was visibly upset. We then spent some time talking abolut my social transition as well

    big sad dysphoria posting

    i went into today’s voice therapy session ready to absolutely get to work and really drill myself and get the hard stuff done and about halfway through i just fucking broke down crying and couldn’t go on. why the fuck do i have to put in all of this fucking effort into maybe sort of sounding like a cis woman when there’s fucking billions of cis women out there who have never had a single problem with having their voice sound male and never put an ounce of effort into it why the fuck does testosterone exist why the fuck is there no surgery out there that can fix my fucking resonance why the fuck do i have to put in all of this extraordinary effort jamming my fucking tongue down the back of my throat just for people to call me a man anyway what the fuck

    transphobia, parents

    My mom found out I’m taking DIY HRT and confronted me about it. I defended myself while she kept saying how it was dangerous because there’s no oversight. She also brought up hormonal changes like getting a temper, bringing up how I already always had a temper and that this would make it worse. I mentioned that I think that I will have less of a temper because I’ll have less gender dysphoria. I also said this would be the same on official hormones, which she is not against, and she agreed with me. After a while I started crying and kept crying. Luckily she feels like she can’t decide for me even if she’s against it, so she lets me keep it. But the thing is, that she forcing me to tell my dad since she doesn’t want to keep a secret from her husband. He’s supportive but anti-DIY as well. I’m afraid that maybe he will try to take it away so I need to figure out how to hide in the worst case scenario.

    This bullshit is exactly why I was hiding it from them in the first place. I was thinking of telling them but this shows me exactly that I made the right decision keeping this from them. I shouldn’t have put my hormones in my toilet bag, which I will take to vacation. She found out because she wanted to see if I still had anti- cat allergy pills for this vacation.
