@fraggle has chocolate got an explicit policy on accepting or rejecting LLM authored contributions? I’m assuming this has come up

@hyperreal @mwl I was going to pithily suggest awk but here you’ve provided an actual useful use of it

Also doom3-bfg is in there!? That’s not a classic doom game at all

One that stuck out at me: reporting that chocolate-doom is 5x the size of linuxdoom. Ignoring that the chocolate doom source tree is the source of four separate games (doom, heretic, hexen, strife), network and TUI support libraries

This is pretty but there are some pretty big methodological problems and other errors https://squid-protocol.github.io/gitgalaxy/museum-of-code/doom-dna/

Yesterday I got back to ice hockey after 5 weeks ish off to recover from a fractured wrist. It felt good to be back

Fully intended to blog today and forgot. Will try Tomorrow.

@fraggle you're more than welcome :)

There's two types of IT security worker: those who chose that career, and the rest of us

@neil unstated but i think implied: you don’t want to build something?

Confession time: in the last few weeks I’ve developed a bad habit: reading reddit. I exclusively access it via mobile web. Today they’ve added a modal, undismissable nag screen to push people to their app.

Thank you Reddit for curing my bad habit!

@suihkulokki @zhenech ah I see. Thanks for clarifying!

@zhenech mythic beasts. I have their lowest tier email service and only use smtp submission atm. Works like a charm and saves me worrying about IP sender reputation

@zhenech thanks for the input. I’m half minded to just outsource the lot now. Spam filtering was the last real obstacle to that. Oh and mailbox size

@zhenech she wouldn’t see that though for SMTP receipt… only for SMTP submission - I’ve outsourced that so they’re handled separately in my case

@zhenech me too, but I recently broke something myself as a consequence of using LE (mod_md directory permission reset, exim couldn’t read it) which makes me wonder if there’s any value

Is there any value in using a Let’s Encrypt cert for accepting mail with SMTP, over a self-signed cert? From what I recall they set some bit to mark the cert as invalid for this? And nobody verifies the certs for SMTP anyway?

@Klassika @foone yikes thanks for reminding me about this, almost 20 years later!

I'm disappointed with the outcome of the Debian LLM GR.
