It is time to get acquainted with Metal IO, low-level cross-platform abstraction over epoll/kqueue written in Rust.

Just simple console app that asks for a time zone and prints current time in provided timezone (or in local if no time zone was provided).

Providing an SSH access to a home server (usually hidden behind NAT) from outside world (Internet) sounds like a tricky task to configure. But it is not, literally 2 commands and a VPS witn public IP is enough to do that.

Once I had a long winter evening to spare, and I was thinking, why don’t I implement a distributed membership and failure-detection protocol in Rust?

Quite for some time I was thinking about refreshing Akka skills and providing some simple demo of what one can do with Akka and Actor Model. Finally, the winter time has come, I will show the Conway’s Game of Life reactive implementation with Akka Actors.
