I periodically see "diffstatic" as a typo of difftastic. I quite like it: makes me think of 'ecstatic' rather than 'fantastic'. I've eventually configured typos CLI to prevent this spelling on the difftastic repo, but it makes me smile every time.

I've only got a few VPS instances, but setting hostnames automatically to match Ansible inventory makes my life so much easier. I should have done this way sooner. It's so much nicer than seeing wilfred@ubuntu on every box I ssh into.

Today I learnt about clippy::clone_on_ref_ptr, which complains about t.clone() on a Rc<Thing>. You write Rc::clone(t) instead, so it's obvious it's a cheap clone. It's a nice approach, because it makes the expensive clones more obvious.
