Many created around 1986, when the Amiga was still brand new on the market. ## [Jo-Anne Park images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-04-12.html) _2026-04-12 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ I found several very old images by Jo-Anne Park, including some C64 versions, which also led me to her full name. She was already very active on the C64 and you can see the progression when she went on to the Amiga. ## [Single image month](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-03-01.html) _2026-03-01 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ March is single image month in which I add images that didn't fit into larger updates or are missing images from older updates. ## [CU Amiga magazine images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2026-01-25.html) _2026-01-25 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ First update of the year and I added a whole collection of nice images from CU Amiga magazine. I went down the rabbit hole and added scans from the magazines' Art Gallery section, which included lots more really cool art.

There are many, many, many things to go through and we don’t have a sponsor today, so I’m gonna start right away with facet! facet facet is a project that I started working on in March of this year — that’s right, it’s only been ten months, yet it feels like an eternity. ## [Introducing arborium, a tree-sitter distribution](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/introducing-arborium) _2025-12-13 · fasterthanli.me_ About two weeks ago I entered a discussion with the docs.rs team about, basically, why we have to look at this: When we could be looking at this: And of course, as always, there are reasons why things are the way they are. In an effort to understand those reasons, I opened a GitHub issue which resulted in a short but productive discussion. I walked away discouraged, and then decided to, reasons be… ## [Stream Torrents and IPTV Instantly (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/YyMPlnqz9uKS) _2025-12-13 · **Sponsored**_ Search, index, and play music, movies, books, and live TV in your browser. ## [Does Dioxus spark joy?](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/does-dioxus-spark-joy) _2025-11-22 · fasterthanli.me_ Note: this article is adapted from a presentation I gave at a Rust Paris Meetup — that’s why it sounds a little different than usual. Enjoy! Good evening! Tonight, I will attempt to answer the question: Does Dioxus spark joy? Or at the very least, whimsy. What’s Dioxus, you ask? It is first and foremost a name that is quote: “legally not inspired by any Pokémon”. Even if the author concedes in a… ## [Engineering a Rust optimization quiz](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/engineering-a-rust-optimization-quiz) _2025-11-01 · fasterthanli.me_ There are several Rust quizzes online, including one that’s literally called the “Unfair Rust Quiz” at https://this.quiz.is.fckn.gay/ , but when I was given the opportunity to record an episode of the Self-Directed Research podcast live on the main stage of EuroRust 2025 , I thought I’d come up with something special. The unfair rust quiz really deserves its name. It is best passed… ## [Compute! Amiga Resource magazine images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-10-11.html) _2025-10-11 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ Added lots of nice images from Compute! Amiga Resource Magazine. They featured lots of great images in their art gallery section. ## [Making our own spectrogram](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/making-our-own-spectrogram) _2025-09-15 · fasterthanli.me_ A couple months ago I made a loudness meter and went way too in-depth into how humans have measured loudness over time. Today we’re looking at a spectrogram visualization I made, which is a lot more entertaining! We’re going to talk about how to extract frequencies from sound waves, but also how my spectrogram app is assembled from different Rust crates, how it handles audio and graphics threads,… ## [crates.io phishing attempt](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/crates-io-phishing-attempt) _2025-09-12 · fasterthanli.me_ Earlier this week, an npm supply chain attack . It’s turn for crates.io , the main public repository for Rust crates (packages). The phishing e-mail looks like this: Andrew Gallant on BlueSky And it leads to a GitHub login page that looks like this: Barre on GitHub Several maintainers received it — the issue is being discussed on GitHub . The crates.io team has acknowledged the attack and said… ## [color npm package compromised](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/color-npm-package-compromised) _2025-09-08 · fasterthanli.me_ On September 8 2025, around 13:00 UTC, someone compromised Josh Junon’s npm account (qix) and started publishing backdoored versions of his package.

Your browser does not support the video tag. My amp has a volume knob, which also shows decibels, although.. negative ones, this time. Your browser does not support the video tag. And finally, my video editing software has a ton of meters — which are all in decibel or decibel-adjacent units. Your browser does not support the video tag. How… ## [Summer fasterthanlime update](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/summer-fasterthanlime-update) _2025-08-15 · fasterthanli.me_ There are news!

I also built a new color cycling converter that can better fit these animations into loopable sections and can also handle interlaced images. ## [All color is best-effort](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/all-color-is-best-effort) _2025-06-27 · fasterthanli.me_ I do not come to you with answers today, but rather some observations and a lot of questions. The weird glitch Recently I was editing some video and I noticed this: Not what the finger is pointing at — the dots. Here are the separate layers this image is made up of: the background is a stock image I’ve licensed from Envato Elements: Because I use it as a background image, I’ve cranked down the… ## [Find what they just said (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/UuACQcZQxzu7) _2025-06-27 · **Sponsored**_ Surface recent public signals so you can send policy-aware, relevant outreach ## [Introducing facet: Reflection for Rust](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/introducing-facet-reflection-for-rust) _2025-06-05 · fasterthanli.me_ I have long been at war against Rust compile times. Part of the solution for me was to buy my way into Apple Silicon dreamland, where builds are, like… faster. I remember every time I SSH into an x86\_64 server, even the nice 64-core ones. And another part was, of course, to get dirty with Rust itself. I wrote Why is my Rust build so slow? , which goes in-depth into rust build performance, down to… ## [More Amiga Magazin images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-05-31.html) _2025-05-31 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ Added the next batch of Amiga Magazin images. This time from the color cycling contests in July 1988. I switched the format for images with color cycling or animations in CRT mode to MP4, because some of the loops were getting too long and using animated WEBP files wasn't practical anymore. ## [The virtue of unsynn](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-virtue-of-unsynn) _2025-05-29 · fasterthanli.me_ Addressing the rumors There have been rumors going around, in the Reddit thread for facet , my take on reflection in Rust, which happened a bit too early, but here we are, cat’s out of the bag, let’s talk about it!

For… whew, it’s been 5 years! I didn't want to make a CMS! I did it out of spite! I’ve been teasing folks about the cool things I did from the beginning — here are all the articles and series I’ve written that mention it: 2020: A new website 2021: Don’t shell out! 2022: Updating fasterthanli.me 2024: Face cams: the missing guide 2024:… ## [The promise of Rust](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-promise-of-rust) _2025-04-16 · fasterthanli.me_ The part that makes Rust scary is the part that makes it unique. And it’s also what I miss in other programming languages — let me explain! Rust syntax starts simple. This function prints a number:  fn show ( n : i64 ) { println! ( "n = {n}" ); } And this program calls that function — it looks like any C-family language so far, we got parentheses, we got curly brackets, we got, uhh… ## [That health is mental](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/that-health-is-mental) _2025-04-09 · fasterthanli.me_ Disclaimer : Trigger warning: depression, talk of suicide. It’s been a while since I wrote a mental health piece — but I think it’s important to occasionally stop, take a breather, and think about how we feel. So. deep breath I’m okay, I think? Just a little restless. A bit of personal context For those keeping score, I went through major life events in 2023 — a divorce, a move, and the news that… ## [More devops than I bargained for](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/more-devops-than-i-bargained-for) _2025-04-07 · fasterthanli.me_ Background I recently had a bit of impromptu disaster recovery , and it gave me a hunger for more! More downtime! More kubernetes manifest! More DNS! Ahhhh! The plan was really simple. I love dedicated Hetzner servers with all my heart but they are not very fungible. You have to wait entire minutes for a new dedicated server to be provisioned. Sometimes you pay a setup fee, et cetera. And at some… ## [Impromptu disaster recovery](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/impromptu-disaster-recovery) _2025-03-28 · fasterthanli.me_ Background im-promp-tu ( im-ˈpräm(p)-(ˌ)tü ) made, done, or formed on or as if on the spur of the moment: improvised composed or uttered without previous preparation: extemporaneous Merriam-Webster On March 18th, 2025, I thought I would look into self-hosted project management solutions — something kanban-y, but.. better? This one does not spark joy. After discovering that Teamhood was awesome… ## [Amiga Magazin images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-03-01.html) _2025-03-01 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ Added a huge selection of images that were published in the german Amiga Magazin.

As I had already included several images from these competitions (like Orlando Petermann, Jens Eisert, Walter Bergmann and others...), I have also added a section for all publications, where you can see all the images at together. ## [The case for sans-io](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/the-case-for-sans-io) _2025-02-07 · fasterthanli.me_ The most popular option to decompress ZIP files from the Rust programming language is a crate simply named zip — At the time of this writing, it has 48 million downloads. It’s fully-featured, supporting various compression methods, encryption, and even supports writing zip files. However, that’s not the crate everyone uses to read ZIP files. Some applications benefit from using asynchronous… ## [Starray level graphics](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2025-01-25.html) _2025-01-25 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ Added level graphics to the game Starray and included the graphics for the Atari ST version as comparison since it actually manage to improve over the Amiga version, despite being technically at a disadvantage. Also found an alternative version of the title screen. ## [Facet images of 2024](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2024-12-28.html) _2024-12-28 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ As final update for this year I added a whole bunch of awesome images from Facet who has been really productive in the past year. ## [Catching up with async Rust](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/catching-up-with-async-rust) _2024-12-25 · fasterthanli.me_ In December 2023, a minor miracle happened: async fn in traits shipped. As of Rust 1.39, we already had free-standing async functions:  pub async fn read\_hosts () -\> eyre :: Result \< Vec \< u8 \>\> { // etc. } …and async functions in impl blocks:  impl HostReader { pub async fn read\_hosts ( & self ) -\> eyre :: Result \< Vec \< u8 \>\> { // etc. } } But we did not have async… ## [Aegis images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2024-12-18.html) _2024-12-18 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ Added another batch of classic images from Aegis Images and Aegis Spectra Color art packages. ## [Highlighted code in slides](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/highlighted-code-in-slides) _2024-11-23 · fasterthanli.me_ I have obsessed about this long enough, I think it’s only fair I (and you!) get some content out of it. When I started writing this article, I was working on my P99 CONF slides. Those slides happen to include some bits of code. And because I’m a perfectionist, I would like this code to be syntax highlighted, like this:  let addr : SocketAddr = config . address . parse () ? ; let ln = TcpListener… ## [Island Graphics images](https://amiga.lychesis.net/updates/2024-11-18.html) _2024-11-18 · Amiga Graphics Archive_ Added a collection of images by Island Graphics from the very beginning of the Amiga. ## [ktls now under the rustls org](https://fasterthanli.me/articles/ktls-now-under-rustls-org) _2024-09-26 · fasterthanli.me_ What’s a ktls I started work on ktls and ktls-sys , a pair of crates exposing Kernel TLS offload to Rust, about two years ago . kTLS lets the kernel (and, in turn, any network interface that supports it) take care of encryption, framing, etc., for the entire duration of a TLS connection… as soon as you have a TLS connection. For the handshake itself (hellos, change cipher, encrypted extensions,…
