2 points I'm not sure got mentioned here

1. There is a new hero on the block - his name is mox and he is bloody awesome! It's a single binary written in go, that takes care of (citing) ...IMAP4, SMTP, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE and DNSSEC, reputation-based and content-based junk filtering, Internationalization (IDNA), automatic TLS with ACME and Let's Encrypt, account autoconfiguration, webmail.. pretty much everything. As somebody who maintains few mailservers for living - this is a wet dream come true. It implements eg MTA-STS that I haven't seen even on many commercial offerings yet. You run it once - it returns a long file with DNS records for MX, SPF, DMARC, DKIM etc... You run it second time with some switch - it generates its systemd file. Then you just spin it up - and that's it. I always wanted to write something like this but I am nowhere near clever enough. There may be some performance constrains, it's probably not "production grade" yet - but I've been using it for over a year with stellar results.

2. There has been a lot of gatekeeping (they call it security strengthening) going on lately. In my experience even year ago If you managed to fit into your DKIM / DMARC / SPF rules stated in your DNS records you could still deliver pretty much everywhere. Even with a dynamic IP. As of June 2024 google started enforce PTR records and M$ I believe followed (meaning if your ip doesn't have a correct PTR record your mail isn't deliverable to Google / Microsoft mailservers). Most residential ISPs will not enable you to edit your PTR and since more and more people / companies use bloody google /M$ cloud services I don't think it's worth running mailserver just from home because the deliverability would be a hit and miss. You need at least to proxy the outgoing mail through some cheap VPS with public ip that you can set a PTR on.

I blame him for MacBook unibody design that made whole generations of mbooks gone way too soon because of heat stress. But shiny metal pretty!

I blame him for the whole butterly keyboard fiasco that made me stop using MBooks.

I don't blame him for smartphones because I don't think he invented those.

how did everyone access the article?

I would like to know if its the same tired 40 year old argument on "sphere of influence" or actually something interesting at least from the "intellectual elasticity" point of view?

Hello. My name is John Doe and would like to ask you to remove my penis from your database... What do you mean "what does it look like"?!

More important is what they don't say: not only that you will have to get used to a new keyboard, not only that the good docking stations aren't ever coming back, but by the looks of it the keyboard is no longer going to be easily replacable "from the top" (I mean 60s ez), which is likely gonna limit the amount of these on 2nd hand market. Plus it looks like a 1st generation unibody MacBook, so let's all look forward to HW issues due to heatstress. Even if they kept at least the magnesium rollcage ( unlikely IMO ) , even if the chasis wasn't metal (which it looks like it is), I ain't buying this crap. This was bound to happen though - the Dell Latitude line turned into total garbagefire like a decade ago.

In Prague CZ (supposedly the 2nd best public transport system in the world) the "PID" has been employing "pain clothes inspectors" aka "revizori" for I suspect most of it's 100+ year history. There are currently 140 of them employed full time, they don't have body cameras and they come in pairs. Some of them are women. Comparing the sizes - 1.4 billion trips /year for PID and 600 million trips for TTC - it wouldn't be unreasonable to have few "inspectors" employed full time. Of course I don't know how significant fare evasion is in Toronto. Also - Public Transport should be free anyway.

This one specifically 🤓 #6900 came into service in 1973 and is still serving valiantly in Ukraine 🎖

Yet the stocks of funeral homes have remained unaffected. There is an opportunity here! /s

Ballpark numbers (guesstimated by ChatGPT). In the 50s (after the ww2 explosion of the US industrial capacity) you came home after an 8 hour shift in a fridge making factory and had an income that could easily keep up 3 kids (including education), 2 cars, 1 stay at home wife and a house (like in The Simpsons). Since then the work productivity has risen 600% - 700%, yet the average income has risen less than 150% and the median icome less than 80%.

I don't know if its only here in eu - but if you go to a knife shop that carries victorinox knives in order to buy "the springy think" that makes the scissors work - they won't - they'll just fix it for free.
