When I left Twitter, I worried that it would impact my ability to make a living.
That worry was unfounded.
Would I be doing better if I was still on Twitter? Perhaps. But looking at my #ryoms visitors on Kickstarter, it's clear that the fedi is a more than adequate replacement.
One week until I have to start shilling the #RYOMS. Beat the rush! Sign up for the announcement and back it during the first hour, then you can mute the hashtag. :flan_flaneur:
Je ne sais pas si j'ai assez fait de pub (et j'ai pas l'impression que @figoblog en ait fait davantage sur ce réseau) alors je réitère : lundi prochain, 8 avril, il y a une conf sur l'archivage des mails à l'Ecole nationale des chartes.
Sauf dovecot et xz (je ne compresse pas mes mail), on utilise la même chose, je me sens moins seul :-)
Depuis que je n'auto-héberge plus mes emails je dépens des IMAP de mes hébergeurs.
Mais j'ai prévu de re-auto-héberger mes emails assez vite.
Il faut d'abord que je me remette à jour, je suis bien rouillé de ce côté là (je suis en train de relire les premières épreuves #RYOMS de @mwl pour ça).
TLS in SMTP is wonky. How do you configure encryption when self-signed certificates are perfectly acceptable? The bar is super low here. TLS 1.0? Fine. :flan_yikes: :flan_on_fire: #sysadmin
"While self-signed certificates make a web browser screech warnings, SMTP has no human component and servers will merrily ignore warnings if told to do so. We promptly told them to do so." - #ryoms
"History has repeatedly demonstrated that badly written shell scripts that process arbitrary email inflict suffering, so we won’t cover that configuration." #ryoms
Errands this morning: pick up meds, grab a couple bagels to gnaw on during tomorrow's hospital visit. (Routine stuff, it'll be fine.) Might grab a nice lunch while I'm out.
Rspamd has so many symbols that I can't define them in the book. Instead, I need to teach the reader how to find and manage the symbols that they need, how to decide which symbols they can ignore, and how to set local values for symbols important to their environment. Which is MUCH harder to write than a description of the symbols and why each is important, but it will be much less tedious to read.
#SNMPMastery was just over 60,000 words. #RYOMS is now over 68,000 and at least another 10k to go. :flan_tired: Biggest Mastery book yet, because I have no grasp of project scope.
"Dovecot considers connections from the local host secure. If you test the STARTTLS requirement from the host running Dovecot you’ll find it accepts plain text credentials. It refuses unencrypted credentials from other hosts, however." #ryoms
I just spent two hours learning this detail. Two hours of screaming "WHY IS THIS ACCEPTING PLAINTEXT VIA NETCAT FROM THE LOCAL HOST???!?"
(I am not interested in "running your own email is impossible," "email is a lost cause," or other comments from folks who are not running their own email.)
What hosting provider do you use? Bare metal or VM? #ryoms#sysadmin
