@noelle Queueing up the 1000-song TMBG random now :)

@noelle Rocks are tired. The new wired is wearing prosthetic foreheads on our real heads.

@Juju That's awesome, and I'm ashamed to admit I tried to use the navigation arrows in your screenshot to see if there were any more

Part of me feels bad that I don't post more here. The other part of me knows that I should just continue to be myself, and not feel pressured to share anything I don't want to.
Here, have a picture of my coffee from this morning. It has a message!

@onf I don't know of any modern ones, but "Classic MacOS" supported slashes in filenames because the path separator was ":", (which was definitely NOT supported in filenames)

I haven't said anything here in a while. I just haven't had any interest at all in, well, anything. Here or anywhere else. Going through the motions at work and at home, sleeping too much. Woodshop hasn't been touched in months, can't read more than a couple of pages in my stack of "in progress" books before I give up, etc. I'd talk to my doctor about changing my meds, but I don't really care about that either.

@maple You're welcome; hope it works out for you!

@maple All the extra packages recommended in that guide on akadia should be automatic dependencies when you install spamassassin from the repos; no need to actually install everything by hand or from source unless that's your kind of thing.

@maple

It's been a couple of years since I last set up either Postfix or Dovecot, but I remember them both being fairly plug-and-play out of the box on Debian and its derivatives. I just found and read through these guides; while Debian/Ubuntu-centered, they seem comprehensive:
http://xmodulo.com/mail-server-ubuntu-debian.html
http://xmodulo.com/secure-mail-server-using-encryption.html
http://xmodulo.com/enable-user-authentication-postfix-smtp-server-sasl.html

And for spam filtering, I've used Spamassassin for the last 20-ish years; this guide does a decent job explaining that:
https://www.akadia.com/services/postfix_spamassassin.html

@maple Dovecot + Postfix would do the job and aside from their dependencies I don't think there's anything else you'd NEED to install. While not strictly necessary, it'd be a Good Server Administrator thing to harden Postfix's configuration to make sure it's not an open relay.

I'd personally recommend getting a TLS cert (letsencrypt would certainly do) and using IMAPS and SMTP-over-TLS instead of the clear-text versions of the protocols. But again, not absolutely necessary.

I really like coffee, but why do third-wave baristas insist on extracting their espresso so that it tastes lemony?

Not sure why I thought it would be easy, bit it turns out that removing the chuck on a lathe older than me is quite the task.

Some days you just need to treat yourself. #☕

I’m pretty sure I should be sleeping, and looking at my phone probably isn’t helping, but I'm just not tired.
The storm outside the window sounds nice.

@verycarapesque Thank you for sharing this. I have a friend that shares his daily gratitudes on that blue site, and the combination of those plus your recommendation have inspired me to start journaling. Hooray for self-help!

Memo to myself: even if the fountain pen reservoir looks empty, and the pen doesn't write, be sure to flush it before switching ink colors.
Related: the ink I bought this week is actually a very nice royal blue, not a dark blue-black

I finally got sick of having to remember to mute Twitch before I walk away from my desk, so I wrote a script that mutes/un-mutes the pulseaudio to correspond to the screen lock state. It's been a week and I've easily forgotten it was there. Which I think is the sign of a good solution.
