Every now and then I get angry at something not working on the Raspberry and so I decide to swap the OSs. Now it's time for something new and not expected.

I'd like to share my experience and views on some of the talks that I've attended on the DevConf.cz 2024.

Linux distributions are a common choice for running the servers. There's a wide variety of distributions, but on the servers majority is made by only a few.

Some corporations also profit from the support of the “big” distributions. Let's dive into the pros, cons and peculiarities of such business.

This post is inspired/triggered by the following Mastodon post:

Rust has become a rather popular language these days. I've managed to get my hands dirty with it during [Advent of Code] ‘22 and partially ‘23. I've also used it for few rounds of [Codeforces] and I have to try very hard to maintain some variety of languages for LeetCode challenges along with the Rust. I'll disclaim up front that I won't be only positive, since this post is a result of multiple discussions about Rust and I stand by “All that glitters is not gold”, so if you can't stand your favorite language being criticized in any way, don't even proceed. 😉
