Rust's cargo package manager has a command to install standalone binaries into ~/.cargo/bin but it has no command to update these binaries for you :(

apparently you have to manually run cargo install <name> again for each binary to update it smh

also I use the static site generator Zola and it is not packaged for my distribution of linux, and they don't publish it to crates.io, which means you need to just point cargo to the git repo and rawdog compile master to install it... I hate this lol
