Hi! My name is Lucas and I’m a software engineer. If you want to reach me, awesome! Contact me by E-Mail (public • x3ro • de), which I swear I read regularly. Or give me a shout-out on Twitter. If you’re interested, you’ll find my GitHub profile here!
While playing around with Axum, I ran into the above-mentioned compile-time error. The underlying issue, in my case, was holding a type that’s not Send

Continuous deployment (CD) is all the rage these days. And, if you ask me, it’s a good feeling to push to a branch, wait for some time, and eventually see your changes in production. Getting this to work within the confines of Gitlab CI can be a little tricky, so I’m going to share my preferred set-up in this post.

… on a 56k modem (remember those?). Okay, that might not be a valid benchmark nowadays. But the fact that the homepage of my blog, without any real content, was weighing in at almost 350KB did startle me a little. Why?
