@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.

I bought some inline hockey skates to try and support my ice skating. #skating

I remember not enjoying figuring out ACLs in Dovecot 2.3 and now I get to do it all over again in Dovecot 2.4

New blog post: punch-out
https://jmtd.net/log/punch-out/
I fixed my ice skate pain with a DIY punch-out: a very localized heat remoulding of the pressure point in the boot. #skating

New blog post: time-delayed scifi roundup feed
https://jmtd.net/log/guardian_scifi_roundup/
In order to get new book recommendations for paperbacks, I artificially
delay a feed of The Guardian's monthly SF round-up by six months. #software #fiction #web

I want to procedurally generate some simple art; any software recommendations?

curses to Salsa. "You have been blocked for network abuse". WTF

I was really enjoying Katabasis by R. F. Kuang (even though the biting critique of Academia reads true and hits quite close to home) until, quite suddenly, there's an extended bit on the hell of Crohn's disease and I was not expecting that and ouch

Gah, I rely on Nextcloud a lot but I don't really trust it. Currently resolving an empty local folder which the client is adamant is synced: server copy has 1.8G of content

New blog post: Interzone digital
https://jmtd.net/log/interzone/digital/
An eulogy to Interzone as a paper magazine, and trying to use my ancient iPad mini as an e-magazine reader. #interzone #fiction

@thomasfuchs oh god they’ve broken it? I’m a release behind

I swapped my Korg Minilogue XD synthesizer for a Korg Minilogue XD desktop/modular synthesizer and try to explain why. #musicmaking
