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!

body dysphoria, weight dysphoria
weight dysphoria
I don’t think I’ll ever be comfortable with myself until my BMI is like….19.
Kind of hope I am wrong, but I still feel gross no matter how much I lose.
19 is reeeeeaaal skinny. That's like world-class marathon runner skinny. You would lose all ass and boob. I think anything below 21, unless you're some kind of specialized athlete, is just not worth it and would make you miserable trying to achieve and maintain it.
Like I said, I hope I am wrong.
fitness shit, mental health
I've dealt with being overweight since childhood and most of my early adult life and also have spent probably more than half my life clinically some severity of depressed and I know it can sound patronizing and like "hey um sweaty have u tried yoga??"
as advice but masochistic gymrat shit has honestly been the biggest improvement to my mental health and self esteem
Like I'm also anxious af and weird and dysphoric in public generally, but knowing that I put in the work at the gym and am pushing myself and improving makes all that shit so much better
I have some trauma shit that makes me generally kinda uncomfortable and nervous around strangers and (larger) men specifically but I'm kinda tall and buff and it's rare now that someone makes me nervous because I feel pretty confident about my ability to defend myself and handle a scuffle with like 99% of the guys I see
(not trained really either besides basic beginner boxing and scrapping as a teen that went to a ton of metal and hardcore shows but it's rare for me to see someone now where I think "damn they might be able to kick my ass"
Please feel free to ask me anything about diet and exercise shit of you want, I love to help ppl
Calorie shit, body dysphoria, binging
How do I remove snack food binging? I have a problem with doing thaywith chips, and really anytime I buy snacks. I've been recommended eating celery which gets the crunch I like, but doing from the chemically engineered addicting flavoring to just celery is a leap that my brain doesn't like.
And then as for exercising, is there stuff I can do you build muscle strength at home? (Ideally a more leg workout routine). With the dysphotia its rough for me to get out to a gym, and then I'd also have to buy gym clothes and that's gonna be another layer of shit that's gonna be tough on my mind.
Thanks for the offer of advice :3
diet/home exercise advice
Ymmv but gum maybe? I'm pretty sure you can find some weird Japanese flavors online if you're looking for a more savory flavor instead of the normal fruity or minty stuff.
You can actually do a lot at home for legs pretty easily without any special equipment! Body weight squat variations, lunges, step ups on a sturdy chair or stairs, calf raises on the edge of a step, etc. There are a lot of different levels of bodyweight squat variations of differing difficulty depending on your skill and they're also great for training flexibility and coordination. (I can pistol squat and Cossack squat and am trying to work my way up to dragon squats but those are tricky
)
I know a lot of trans femmes are understandably gunshy about upper body workout stuff because they don't want to get "bulky" (I mean, same) but you're really not going to without some intense work and a high volume, especially with bodyweight exercises and calisthenics. There's a whole world of pushup and planche/handstand kinda yoga calisthenics stuff that I've barely ever scratched the surface of. I like the YT channels Summerfunfitness (super impressive at fancy yoga stuff and calisthenics but has plenty of beginner and intermediate guides too) and MovementbyDavid (the "stay flexy!" guy) for those
Thank you!
