Simpler just update your local network dns so whatevercompany.brain.com redirect to your local 10.0.0.3 mqtt

Agree, I have implemented a few provider and every time they implemented their own interpretation of the spec. In the end you end up checking each provider to make sure everything works as expected.

> Has anyone else bootstrapped using Rust? What were your experiences?

Yes, we are building a parsing platform in rust. (~50k loc) Stack: actix + diesel (async) for PG.

Getting the right project structure was not simple (that could deserve a blog post). Performance is super nice if you do heavy IO.

Beware of memory usage handling with actix.

Day to day dev is a joy, once it compile you can be confident it will work as expected.

Never .unwrap / panic !

Use clippy to check your code.

Once you have your project structure done, adding a new web handler is as fast as adding one in Django or Flask.

All 577 members of parliament are kicked and we will have to elect new regional representative (~equivalent to US congressman) on the 30th of June / 7 of July. They were initially elected one month after presidential election in 2022.

Under the line the president is asking something like: "Are you sure you want my politics to be far right?". If French people still elect a majority of far right congressman he will have (nothing mandatory) to build a government with far right minister.

Note: this is a pretty unusual move.

This was exactly what I was trying to express.

Apologies if this was misunderstood, I'd absolutely not do better than Github teams.

Classic Github for the past few years we are used to it / resilient now.

I'm wondering how many mission to Uranus were cancelled/never created to avoid bad PR, with all the jokes and stuff.

« Impure » does not refer to enemy blood but refer to the own blood of the French republican. (Versus the « pure » blood of the royalist)

100% agree, I personally would probably have the same weekly productivity in 965 vs 996. Brain resting is pretty important.
