Regrettably, I'm having to cut back on upstream sponsorships since it's been higher than my own sponsorship income for several months now. Thanks to all who still contribute for the ongoing support! 💖
Rob Ede@robjtede24 Apr 2025
This has grown to 36 authors, all at $1 a month, which is still around 10% of my own sponsorship income. We're an ecosystem of creators and it feels right to give to the authors whose tools and lower-level crates I use.

Don’t worry guys, I’m not sitting on any secret Actix Web CVEs.

In light of today's security news, I am doubling my key length from 8 to 16 bits.

Good to know Actix’ CI isn’t going anywhere 😊

Replying to @sequoia
@sequoia is leading our Series C at a $1B valuation. We started Blacksmith in 2024 to make CI faster and less painful. In January we ran 5 million CI jobs a week. Today it's over 90 million and growing, and we’re still early.
Line chart of weekly CI jobs run on Blacksmith, growing from 5.4M in January to 90.5M in October 2026.

its obviously not *good* but admittedly having a private key of *4* as a globally trusted cert authority is one of the funniest bits of all time

For the next few days or weeks, anyone now has a root CA thanks to eMudhra. Time to have some fun with MiTMing unwilling devices!

Turns out all us open source guys were right. If your (ancient) issue included a minimal reproduction, there’s a good chance it’ll be fixed by EoY.

Hate @t3codes nightly because always having threads running and being mega productive means there's always an update pending 😩

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

Main branch checks include a very lengthy feature combinations check which was the biggest benefactor even before parallelising it.

Decided to vibe myself a "better" @github notifications page according to my workflow. Had to be a Firefox plugin because their API doesn't expose everything needed to build one separately :(

You can try out `deser` as an Actix Web JSON extractor:

@mitsuhikoSep 29
Rust has one serialization library that is Serde. Over the years I collected a bucket list of all the things that I do not enjoy about it. Finally did something about it and finished Deser. Here is a small summary of the why, what and how: lucumr.pocoo.org/2026/9/29/d…

Deser: Rethinking Rust Serialization

Can we do better than Serde?
