General Discussion / Forum https, secure pages

This question might have been answered before.
But why does bay12forum.com not have tls certificate to make the website secure to it allows https connections?
So this link does not work at the moment: https://www.bay12forums.com/smf/ (2020-06-07)

These days with https://letsencrypt.org/ and others it does not cost anything and any easy to setup.

This ways forum posts and login passwords are encrypted over the internet connection.

Maybe the "Sectigo Limited" cert from https://www.bay12games.com/ could be extended and also used here?

Utilities and 3rd Party Applications / DFHack plugin written in Rust
« on: May 12, 2020, 09:36:07 am »
A week ago I made a small proof of concept to see if Rust can be used to create a DFHack plugin.
And the short answer is yes, maybe...
You can check it out here: https://github.com/ralpha/DFHack_Rust_plugin
I don't have plans right now to use it, but it is here for the taking if someone want to use it.

Rust has support for C++ binding. It took me some doing to get cmake to handle the build process.
It is not the best implementation and DF values might not be the easiest to export to Rust.
But I'm not so familiar with DFHack and its plugin build system.
If someone could help with the build system that would be cool!
So Rust might not be the right tool to use, but you can if you want.

I'm currently working on another new standalone application (it is a nice tool for legends ;) ) that is written is Rust ❤️.
That should be out in a month I hope. (most of it is working already)
