My tiny, fanless low-power home server just hit a year of uptime πŸŽ‰

It runs LAMP, NextCloud, Jitsi and a bunch of other services and has essentially been running my life for the past 15 years.

We've been learning about #Rustlang lifetime annotations in our Rust reading group at the #TuringInst. One of my colleagues wrote up this really neat, clear summary for functions. Rust's compile-time checks are fascinating.
