I've been running mail servers and writing email software since the dialup days of 1995. I guess by today's trends, that could brand me a holdout.

But we're still hosting mail for hundreds of company domains across dozens of mail servers, all in a nicely packaged system that's always just an "apt install" away.

The landscape has changed over time, and, yes, it is annoying dealing with the imbalance that the behemoth mail providers represent these days.

But there's a lot to be said for not bargaining away your digital autonomy.

I saw @mwl selling his "Run Your Own Mail Server" book and jumped to pick up a copy. Not so much because I had a need for it (though it'll be interesting to compare notes!), but because I strongly support the idea that email is still a shared ecosystem and love that Michael is sharing the knowledge to encourage folks to continue to participate.

Long live the open Internet.

@revk what mailserver software do you use? still looking for the ideal one. Sendmail doesnt cut it anymore. We dont need uucp support ;-)

@afink we dropped my code ages ago and my ops team handle it all, so not actually sure :-) but back in the day it was innovative mix of smtp and/or pop3 on same mail queue (I thing demon did the same).

Story idea: a poltergeist tries screwing around with an ADHD'er who lives alone. Moving objects around, opening the cabinets, the usual.

After months of this, the poltergeist realizes the ADHD'er has been blaming themselves for all the occurrences

It's only when the poltergeist starts helping the ADHD'er that the real fright begins

(but then that settles down and they become weird friends)

I'm away from my computer today which means #FursuitFriday content is coming from what I happen to have on my phone. In this case a blast from the past - a POV of what it's like to give Dorey a noseboop (and get photobombed by @azakir ) at ScotiaCon 2018 I think? Or 2019.

hereโ€™s a little tip to make your alt text more useful: if you name an object in the picture, also say what it is.

if you write something like โ€œmr snuggleton sitting on a chairโ€, it helps to clarify if mr snuggleton is a plushie, a cat, a sculpture, or your boyfriend!

if you write โ€œa machinotron 75g9 at nightโ€, it is useful for readers to know whether machinotron 75g9 is a bicycle, a train, a robot girl, or a laptop.

you know? it really helps :)

This house's kitchen came with a "built-in" microwave (amongst other built-in things), but it's really not. It's just a normal tabletop microwave stuck in a cupboard with inadequate ventilation and plugged into a normal switched socket behind the (actually built-in) oven, and the plug/socket is positioned such that you can't unplug it without (I assume) unscrewing the oven and pulling it forward! Great design, whoever put this kitchen together! ๐Ÿ˜

And this morning I undid a couple of screws, pulled the oven forward, and got the microwave unplugged and out. Now we just to figure out what to use that cupboard for! :)

Nobody asked me but: I think itโ€™s reasonable to insist that software used in the process of law be transparent, inspectable and deterministic. Writing police reports with an LLM should be grounds for dismissing charges.

What the hell this is most insane thing I've ever seen. I went to the website for a local bar to see what drinks they had ahead of time and figure out how much it would be. I clicked their menu button and it linked me directly to an unsecured camera feed directly by IP that is just a camera pointing at the drinks board in the bar right now. I have never seen a bar do that before lmao.

I feel like I'm using so much time surviving that I barely have time living:

Organizing, budgeting, buying groceries, cleaning, making food, eating, sleeping, working, showering, general body hygiene, working out...

And then you still try to fit time in for the things you actually want to do:

Learning Finnish, reading up on photography, enjoying nature, practicing drawing, maintaining social connections, meet with friends...

Like how are you supposed to fit all that into a day or even into a week?!

Sometimes when I feel really annoyed at surveillance capitalism, I go into Google and Bing maps and submit home photo deletion requests on behalf of a few home owners in my area.

When you delete enough homes on a street, it skips the entire street on Street View. It's great.

Also, they don't validate emails or that you actually own the home you are asking to delete, and there are no laws against doing this.

You are welcome.

We ( @juke and I) made it down to Orlando for our first Megaplex and had a good time even with my late arrival. Iโ€™m looking forward to calling this my new homecon and calling Orlando my new hometown in a week now~ ๐ŸŒด๐ŸฆŠ๐ŸŒด

New England: my last appearance/event will be at the RI furbowl on Saturday night, so if you would like to say goodbye or send me off thatโ€™ll be the time to do so before I have to pack up for the trip southward. Hope to see you there if youโ€™re in the area!

Okay, that's โ€ฆ what the fuck? That's amazing!

We tend, I think, to imagine that the days of simple scientific 'miracles' โ€“ Newton and his prism, Fleming and penicillin โ€“ are at an end. Anything really useful will take years of work and a mountain of kit to make happen.

Nope. Take tartrazine, the food colouring used in Doritos, and paint it onto your skin. Shine a red light on it. Your skin is transparent!

How many medical applications does that have?!
