You can also contribute by creating issues, documentation, tests, writing about it here or telling your friends, anything goes!

I also created a Discord server for it https://t.co/9DqlmTAXel

Let's have fun and see how far we can take this!

I'm building a new tool to extract a crate from a codebase (automated refactoring), called Extricrate (https://t.co/elSVj3coWg).

However, I have very little personal time to dedicate to this, so I would like to run an experiment in crowdsourcing the whole tool!

[Valentin Tolmer @nitnelave1]

I'll help with direction, architecture, organization, but otherwise I won't be writing much code.

The idea is that you pick a function that contains a todo!(), implement it (potentially delegating to other functions you create with a todo!() in the body) and send a PR.

Release 0.5.0 of LLDAP! https://t.co/Js3m0ygzZp
Lots of small changes have been made since the last release, and even though I was waiting to be able to include https://t.co/fJug33Bo3R in a release, it's high time to have some sort of a release 📷

Much awaited LLDAP release 0.4.2! A minor point release, but a major amount of new content!

- Support for MySQL/MariaDB/PostgreSQL

[Valentin Tolmer @nitnelave1]

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the release, and in particular https://t.co/CjxPuprQuS and https://t.co/I7LnLlTxlx for their help with frontend and CI!

New blog post! Vulgarization on where programming languages come from. Feel free to share that with your non-tech friends and family, it was written for them :)

[Valentin Tolmer @nitnelave1]

I'm starting a blog! Mostly programming and Rust, but anything interesting might go in there. I'll try to learn in public and write the articles that I'd like to read. Here's the first post, a bit of advanced Rust:

@georgezgeorgez @github @liberapay Thank you for the kind words! This project is just a hobby, and I don't intend to make money from it :) You can instead give to a good charity or support other free software initiative that need it more!
Cheers

@emacsen I'm glad you found it useful! The LDAP protocol doesn't really allow for 2FA, each service has to build it on top.

However, for logging in to LLDAP, I could add TOTP support. Want to create an issue for it?
