@walterjizz It depends on the async executor runtime you are using. For Tokio I found the following post explains how best work with the send+sync restrictions tokio's work stealing scheduler imposes https://ryhl.io/blog/actors-with-tokio/
Are you using #slint? If so it has its own async executor which is only Send (values can be transferred from one thread to another)
#Slint and Rust running on #Kindle Paperwhite

Bringing Rust and Slint to a jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite 7th gen wasn't easy. This deep dive explains the critical role of `musl libc` and `cargo-zigbuild` for ARMv7 cross-compilation, and the low-level magic needed to interface with e-ink displays and touch input. It's a powerful demonstration of open-source tooling challenging vendor lock-in and extending device utility.

⌚ InkWatchy turns the open-source Yatchy/Watchy e-ink smartwatch into a real daily driver.
It ships watchfaces, a launcher, apps, games, weather, and a calendar. The whole experience runs on #ESP32, powered by #Slint's software renderer.
A great example of how far you can push Slint on very constrained hardware.
📺 Tired of vendor lock-in on wireless casting? FCast is a free, open protocol alternative to Chromecast and AirPlay.
It works over DASH, HLS, and mp4, with senders and receivers #MadeWithSlint No accounts, no ads, no proprietary handshakes.
New in the next #Slint release: drag and drop.
Wrap any element in a DragArea, pair it with a DropArea - that's all you need. A data-transfer payload carries the data between them. Single-window for now, more to come.

Viiri Audio just dropped Aava, a groundbreaking convolution plugin that allows real-time modulation of all IR parameters, even at audio rates

I play music in my car via a USB stick (no carplay, and buggy bluetooth). For the longest time (years!) I've had problems with certain song files and I just couldn't figure out what was wrong.
I finally forced myself to pull my finger out of my arse and diagnose it properly. I found a Suzuki spec sheet for file types and started a process of re-encoding and re-tagging with the help of MediaHuman Audio Converter and Kid3 on my Mac.
After several rounds of testing I eventually established:
1. Bitrate is crucial
2. Encoder is also crucial
3. Tag length is also crucial
4. Filename length is also crucial
5. Punctuation in filenames is also crucial
6. Filesystem path length is also crucial
7. Having a stick that doesn't overheat is also crucial
So now on my computer, aside from my main music library which is part FLAC and part MP3 320, I now have a "car stick" folder which has everything as AAC (M4A) files, bitrate 196, no MP3 tags at all, and a simple folder structure with filenames that include artist, album and track but have no non-ASCII characters in them.
Finally I can play all the albums that were mysteriously refusing to play in the car. #Slint, #SecretMachines, #Mogwai, #Mono, to name but a few.
