  I wish it was easier to know the impact of going IPv6-only in my mail system. There are a few others that I wish I could just magically know. The impact of: - IPv6-only mail delivery - Strict TLS-only connections - Rejecting mail without the basic DKIM stuff - Moving the actual mail server to my home network and using proxies and WireGuard tunnels to pass the mail to the server I could try all of these out, but it would take precious time.

  I have a lot of projects that I've either intended to do and haven't started or I've started and not completed. I'm trying to figure out a way to combine lots of the things into one project. My "get good at C++ and D" can be combined with "read and write more assembly" and "figure out data-oriented programming" and my "maybe replace Plex some day" project. I want to build an STL clone that can...

  I said to someone that I’m not doing the Magic: The Gathering tournament today because I don’t know how to play and, in a very Vermont fashion, someone turned to me and said he runs Dad Guild and they have a “Learn Magic to play with your kid” event I should attend. There are kind people hiding in the shadows.

  I have to mute whatever OpenClaw is. Everyone who talks about it seems to have the psychosis that’s going around.

  If I was going to start a remote software company and hire people, I think I'd want to have: VPS: SSO with Pocket ID Headscale Email A static blog with subdirectories for users Headscale Network: Forgejo Forgejo Runners on Docker Planning software Some kind of Wiki Something like Teams (Maybe Jitsi?) When I redo my mail server in the next year or so, I want to try to figure out how to provision users. Right now I have a SQLite DB, which isn't ideal.

  I’m daydreaming about retrofitting Donut Labs’ batteries into all the things. Phones, laptops, wireless headphones, etc. I know thot these will probably be used for grid support and EVs first, but I hope tech-oriented people will get them too (and soon). https://www.donutlab.com/battery/

  Does anyone on here have a good book recommendation that walks you through things like dithering algorithms, poisson distribution, voronoi, etc? I want to get better at thinking about algorithms and understanding their implementations. I typically will find code that does a thing and I'll use it as a tool in my toolbelt. I can usually tell that the code isn't optimal, but it's a different skill to see that the algorithm isn't a good fit for project / platform.
