@algernon @argv_minus_one I’m mid way through migrating off my hopes-and-prayers server (1 year into the project :/) and that’s one reason I haven’t taken the opportunity to redesign the mail setup

@argv_minus_one @algernon I’m very intrigued by rspamd. If I were redesigning my mail setup, I’d definitely give it a look (but I haven’t the spoons for that in the near future). I’ve been incredibly lucky with crm114 for spam classification, it has worked extremely well for me for 20 years or more. But I don’t have SMTP-time rejection which would be nice. Is rspamd resource resource heavy?

@Orb2069 I’m not sure how they’ve done it. Some folks have tried to reverse engineer without much success.

New blog post: mount namespace for backup jobs (by hand)
https://jmtd.net/log/mount_namespace_backup/
I make a small adjustment to my backup jobs in order to run them all in a separate, dedicated mount namespace. #backups #linux

The sorting hat put me in “team sage”, who seem to be bottom of the league. I’m choosing to believe they’re simply above such trivialities. Go green! #nomanssky

Feel free to recommend me indie RPG stuff! I’m interested in kid friendly (7+, 10+), beginner friendly, thematically not traditional (not d&d), lightweight systems

I’m looking at indie RPG stuff at the moment. Some lovely creations. Such as this card deck of random dungeon rooms. Beautifully illustrated: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1829873279/the-deck-of-many-rooms?ref=share_v4_lx

@broonie I hadn’t noticed Bandcamp doing that. It’s mostly different bits of O360 or things like discord or WhatsApp or slack etc that I forget to individually mute. I wonder if I could configure them by exception actually

Is anyone innovating in the spreadsheets space?

Today sucked

Today's site discovery: a sprawling place to indulgently explore at a relaxed pace, @ratfactor's personal website. Here's the page I'm on at the moment: https://ratfactor.com/cards/cards-why

@fred I got into it late, when the switch port happened. I’d bounced off it a few years earlier.

The most effective way I've found to work on a neovim plugin is (unfortunately) load it into every neovim session you run, hit the bugs yourself directly, corrupt your actual data, and fix as you go.

I started out attempting clean-room neovim environment, unit tests, etc., and it's not impossible but it's certainly much harder than it should be.

Happy 10th birthday, daughter! Apple's present to you is: a broken IAP, and a refusal to refund it.

@fred I normally play just the expeditions and nothing else. But it’s been a while since they had an Expedition!

New blog post: HMS Blueberry

I describe a recent addition to my No Man's Sky Fleet, the HMS Blueberry, named by my daughter Beatrice. #games

New blog post: iPad Mini (2013)
https://jmtd.net/log/ipad_mini/
In or around 2014 I bought an iPad Mini (2), and following the normal
lifecycle of iOS devices, a major OS update eventually killed it as
a useful, general-purpose device: operating it was just too sluggish.
It remained useful as a streaming media player for a little while
longer until eventually the big streamers (BBC iPlayer, Netflix, etc.)
stopped supporting the version of their app which the iPad could
install: the last offi...
