What's the best Torrent index to download TV shows and movies for training my model? I assure you, this is covered by fair use. Trust me. Sure, I realize I've told this dumb joke multiple times. But since I'm subjected to the dumb news, I feel compelled to repeat it. Dumbly.

I created a site on ghost.io for my partner’s HOA. After looking at the blog/newsletter offerings [gestures wildly] I figured they were a good choice. Mostly because @404mediaco@mastodon.social talked about their experience and I trust them. I hope Ghost recognizes how valuable it is to have their endorsement.

It's so strange that the local Sheriff email alerts regularly announce arrests for drug/weapons charges, various assaults, and shoplifting/burglary. I've never seen boasting about any white-collar crimes like wage theft and investment fraud. So strange.

I’ve run my own mail server since ‘98. Always Postfix, and later with Dovecot and OpenLDAP for virtual domains and mailboxes. It’s coming time to rebuild it once again because the CentOS version went EOL a while back. Sure, my IaC is all in Terragrunt and Ansible, so in theory I could stand up a new instance with too much toil. But should I? I’m thinking of migrating to a Fastmail Standard Business plan. Hopefully an API exists to import my 600+ email aliases. It would be optimal if they offered unlimited custom domains — I’ve got a dozen abandoned project domains out there. Heh.

If you're having thread contention with `database.lock` just add a lock file to control access to the lock file. Use `database.lock.lock` to prevent any concurrency issues in the future.
