Because one cannot have too many domain names, right? Right?! 😅

(reading about migrating away from a well-known email provider -- regardless): "tags/labels may need manual recreation in the new system" 😐 Categories for emails, calendar events and contacts are all good and useful, but they are not transferable across email providers. IMAP, the minimum common denominator email access protocol does not have a concept of thematic labels/tags/categories. Hence it's understandable that each email client has its own solutions (which doesn't map, obvs, to other clients). It's not that I change providers often, but I was hoping things would've improved a bit since I left Gmail back in 2017.. GN #email #imap

This weekend I did some email *ahem* autumn cleaning. After achieving inbox 📥 zero and a reasonable folder & categorisation for the rest of my email, I feel like I've taken a heavy weight off me.. As a side note, most weekly "updates" or "things you may have missed" emails go unread. I had short of 2,000 of those. Such a waste of storage and bandwidth. #email

Virtue signalling puts me off.

This reminded me of subvocalization from Cory Doctorow's book "Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom" 👌 View quoted note →

Thinking 💭 about simplifying my personal email setup. Claude AI gave me valuable info on approaches to minimise correlation risk (worst-case scenario being a single email address allowing a third party knowing what other sites I hold accounts on) as well as trivially knowing where spammers got my email address from. Forwarding /masking email address services like Simple Login seem to be a piece of the solution's puzzle. What solutions do you use and recommend? #email #privacy

GM, happy Friday 🍁

The network and sysadmin roles in me sallivate as I read this post by #Cloudflare.

The Cloudflare Blog

Cloudflare just got faster and more secure, powered by Rust

We’ve replaced the original core system in Cloudflare with a new modular Rust-based proxy, replacing NGINX. It’s not only substantially faster ...

Gm. Office day, yay...

The perk of buying a real book, one you can hold, is that you can gift it. Finishing a good book and sharing it afterwards is a great feeling. #books #reading

I'm enjoying this interview a lot! Have a listen/watch if you want to learn more about coronary/heart health. #DOAC https://fountain.fm/clip/NodSlsHfe37Yrdw4cqno

Great interview, happy to have just finished reading The Big Print. https://fountain.fm/episode/2cyFpQhMJ1NfK7zh4IkQ View quoted note →

I just discovered #fountainfm "switch to video" toggle. I was listening to #WBD, tap, now watching #WBD. 👌

Achievement unlocked: organised and cleaned up browser bookmarks🔖

Window (browser?) shopping for domain name registrars. Looking for a registrar with whois privacy, self-managed #DNS zone, dnssec and little more. Prefer a registrar based in the UK, ideally. Any recommendations? Seen spaceship but never heard of them. 123-reg and Ionos are not cheap.

When you forget next Monday is a bank holiday, and end up planning to catch up with work that day.. 😅

One of the "perks" of speaking two languages fluently: watching an interview in English with Spanish subtitles and taking me a few minutes to realise both (audio and subtitles) were not in the same language. 😆 I won't say what language people in my 💤 dreams speak.

Reading about better fruits to eat when you try to follow a low-carb, high-fat (#keto) diet. Who'd figure berries are okay? #ketoDiet "Low-carb fruits include watermelon, avocado, cantaloupe, berries, and more. Although these fruits are the lowest in carbs of most popular fruits, you still need to exercise portion control with most keto-friendly fruits to stay within the carb limits of a keto diet." https://www.verywellhealth.com/keto-fruits-7496128
