V for Vendetta is one of those movies that you come out of feeling like you ought to do something.
Then you shut it off and get ready for bed and think maybe tomorrow, but you know you already have plans for tomorrow.
@bigzaphod If you haven't read the comic book it's based on, I highly recommend you do. I loved the movie, but I love the book more.

Goodreads removed RSS and some people are asking for alternatives on Reddit; maybe worth pointing to BookWyrm and NeoDB?

Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.
Those games were made during what was probably the darkest time of my entire career. We'd jumped into iOS dev thinking it would be ideal for us - small projects we could put out relatively quickly, potentially a vast audience, a fun challenge making touch controls that actually didn't suck.
Every time we did our best to produce something fun and playable. Every time we got excellent reviews from the sites which reviewed such things.
And every time we made about 50p from each one.
We kept trying. We thought maybe we could increase the price slightly, from the default 69p or whatever it was, but when we tried to ask for a couple of quid people said it was "too expensive". It felt like small game dev had been utterly devalued.
By the time we'd done this nine times my spirit was pretty much broken. And iOS was mutating even further, as the devaluation of paid game dev led to the mutant emergence of all the recurring paypoint trickery that is now so prevalent on mobile.
*Some* of this can be done with regular syslogd, like writing a separate log that contains only ‘warning’ and above.
But those time-bounded queries are impossible with regular textual log files as far as I know. You need something database-like to do that.
I'm also not thrilled at the thought of duplicating #log entries (which already consume considerable disk space) into several different files, just so I can see a priority- or service-filtered view of them…
@argv_minus_one I have been shoving my logs into various databases for the past... uhhh... 10-15ish years. Most recently into VictoriaLogs, running on a 2014-era mac mini (running nixos, currently).
I can do all kinds of fancy queries, get a response within seconds, and it takes less space than gzipped logs would. Can recommend.
The hard part is transforming your logs to give them structure you can later query on. Though, timestamp + program + level + boot id + message is a good start, and easy to do for most apps.

Finally, time to retire the server.

I could completely reverse your argument, insulting on why you should do differently.
It’s completely subjective.
@ai6yr :(
The past couple days have been rough with flooding and rain here. Up North (Flagstaff) got dunked on.
The great B.B. King wants you to vote!
AP article here dodging the term "climate change" while talking about climate change. 🤔
AP: Is El Niño making storms and flash floods in the Southwest worse?
I'm curious what the deal is with the plastic bottle of muddy water? LOL.
@lauren @tubsta @DianeBruce @bsdtv @mwl
Agree with that point. In NL it is a bit easier - depending in the provider. Some charge a comparable subscription fee for a "business line" that allows 25/tcp and setting a reverse DNS. Not all do though.
Also it does somewhat depend on the definition of self-hosted. Mine is that you really selfhost it, so under your own roof. But to others it can include VPSes too (which I refer to as self managed).
With my own selfhosted mailserver, I have proper deliverability to the big mailers (Gmail but also Microslop consumer) - 1K of mails to them is not an issue.
Your mileage may vary greatly - and even if the upstream allows 25/tcp inbound and outbound it it not a guaranteed win.
@h3artbl33d @tubsta @DianeBruce @bsdtv @mwl Since you mentioned it, of course dealing with PTR records is another big show-stopper in many cases, especially when the user has less than a /24 static network from the ISP, but even for many business class users proper control over PTRs can be a continuing hassle and cause of mail delivery failures.

PS: “insulting” was a phone typo, sorry! 🙏 makes no sense 😊 I meant “insisting” or “arguing”.

I’m not insulting anyone, and I don’t want to argue. I’m simply saying that the position or preference is subjective: neither I or you can make an objective argument of why someone ought to or oughtn’t to cross-post.
The simple proof is that you’re unhappy about cross-postings – and surely I have no right to say that you should be happy about them. And at the same time I am happy about cross-postings – and you have no right to say that I should be unhappy about them instead.
It’s reassuring to know that Emacs will always be older than me.
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
