people talking about making self-hosting mail more accessible to set up and run day-to-day.

<dream>

turn this hairball: ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
- clamd
- dovecot
- fail2ban
- postfix
- rspamd
- apache / nginx
- mysql
- sogo
- solr

into this: :blobaww:
./smallmail-server

implement SMTP & IMAP, secure and encrypted by default, forget "enterprise" & scale-out features, bake in backups.

@Shadejackrabbit I keep telling myself that I should dust off my digital camera. I used to find so much joy taking photos, but it just sorta fizzed out like 5 years ago. I can never get a shot that I'm looking for with my phone either.

silly trick for transmitting passwords over plaintext 

make the initial cipher a riddle, the correct answer to the riddle is fed to a hash algorithm (pre-shared out of band), which generates a working password. ๐Ÿค”

@bleeptrack thanks sorry if I made :samaww: what you work on sound diminished by calling them doodles, I lack language and experience with those kinds of projects.

@bleeptrack these were so great! loved to see how much passion people were putting into those projects.

aside: i adore these day-to-day doodles that you do. do you have a tablet you use to make them?

Kissing deets 

@Torie@todon.nl holy clams! how do you unknowingly masticate someone else's tongue? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

i shudder even picturing someone doing that to my poor tongue.

Kissing deets 

@Torie@todon.nl maybe its something the kids are doing now? i'll count it as a fad to skip

going camping. see you all in like 4 days.

we'll see if my jorts collection keep me in or out with these unknowning campers.

very vertical poem, cw to save your timeline 

this is the
story
of
a girl
who
gets a favor
from
someone
who
actually
possesses some power.

So I
go
back to
my
mole
and I paint
something
in the shape
of
a
cannon
that I shoot at the enemy.

I
just
want to
show
the enemy
that they
can
only
run
their little cannon
against
me
with their willing brains
and
their

weak

little

limbs.

open source economics 

A recent article by Zeynep Tufekci in Wired clued me in to this GitHub thread on core-js adding a donation request to its postinstall script: github.com/zloirock/core-js/is

It's kind of incredible to me the amount of self-righteousness and entitlement in that thread. The real tragedy is that unpaid maintainers are doing all this work for free, and big corporations are happily exploiting it without a care in the world.

@tindall@cybre.space was going to pull the trigger, but I'm waiting for the bugs to be found in the first production run to get worked out.
