Hi reader,

This week was busy with work, and gaming as I started Zelda: TOTK (and it was better late than never). I also started to work resolving challenges available on Protohackers, using Rust & Tokio. Links I found interesting this week were:

• Postgres UUIDv7 + per-backend monotonicity - The UUIDv7 RFC 9562 is not one year old and Postgres maintainers already imported their own implementation in their database engine;
• The Evolution of SRE at Google; Causal Analysis based on System Theory looks like a good read, but I haven’t had time to read it yet (hn, lb);
• While I’m lookin at the Tokio ecosystem, I found out that axum 0.8.0 was released. I built some small webservices in Rust in the past, using Rocket or Actix, and I think I’ll give a try to axum soon.

I’ve also wrote some code to use AWS EC2 APIs in Rust using aws_sdk_ec2, and also started to use ghostty. Works find but not on my desktop workstation as it is quite slow to start, due to GLX/Wayland/Nvidia I guess. I’ve got so much trouble with this setup I started considering getting an AMD GPU.
