- the Web & Network section expanded: the copyparty features (github.com/9001/copyparty) and curlie (github.com/rs/curlie).
- compress/decompress features with password: it doesn't need to use the best compress algorithm, gzip is good enough.
> ut – Rust based CLI utilities for devs and IT In this title you tell exactly zero information about what your tools actually do, but somehow find it important to mention the language they're written in.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I maintain a Rust-based CLI HTTP server that embeds Nushell. It’s a handy little Swiss-army knife that’s replaced Nginx and Caddy for my personal projects. You can serve a folder of static assets like this: http-nu :3021 '{|req| .static "www" $req.path}' https://github.com/cablehead/http-nu
I was looking to try something like this (without the nushell...), but I find that I always have caddy installed anyway, and for the really local cases I use php -S.
I am seeing the list of dependencies, and even without looking at the transitive ones, I am sure you didn't review any of those, nor will properly maintain that huge list.
That's a supply chain ticking bomb in my book.
I like Rust, but most projects look like kindergarten collage with no regards to security.
Why would a user of these tools care about what language they are written in?
is this stuff not pretty easy to do with python? ``` python -c "import base64; print(base64.b64encode('$INPUT_STRING'.encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8'))" ```
$ go run github.com/dolmen-go/goeval@master 'fmt.Println(base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString([]byte(os.Args[1])))' foobar

$ echo -n foobar | openssl base64 -e

If you can remember all of that off the top of your head and find it ergonomic to type out, then sure. But much like how I prefer someone else to do my content syncing as an ergonomic appliance rather than using FTP + curlftpfs + a VCS [1], I quite like this idea of a focused toolbox (written in a language that compiles to native code) and welcome it rather than having to store these massive snippets in my head (or w…
