this is implemented with a global state using a OnceLock and a Mutex and the notify crate. the notify crate is running in another thread that allows blocking.

this pull request adds hot reloading support which let's you edit the names.json file while the server is running and it will read the config into the global state and the server will have access to the new data. this is implemented with a global state using a OnceLock and a Mutex and the notify crate. the notify crate is running in another thread that allows blocking.

im sorry if you have to look at the sites.rs file.

use async mutex 93bd3540e8

looks like the best way to do the state thing after all is global so i
should use async mutexes so stuff doesn't block.

don't panic on parsing error with running watcher 33f0b6a5e9

this means the watcher doesn't stop working if someone makes an edit to
names.json that results in a parser error. it will just print out the
error and keep the old configuration. if you restart the program and the
file still has an error, the program won't start.
