after spending so long in my cave, i forgot the terrible state of infrastructure in north america. this airport wifi is 1mbps. it's 2021.

i might as well go hang out in the third world, at least it's cheap.

i have a travel vpn router which will use lte or wifi backhaul, and nat and does vpn client. i need a third portable device (not a mac or iphone) that can run js to connect to it, disable vpn kill switch, and hit the accept button on captive portals upstream, then re-enable vpn kill switch.

privacy shouldn't be this difficult and inconvenient.

it truly is the future, i'm archiving files with tar|zstd|age instead of tar|gz|gnupg. who would have though

age has made my life so much easier:

got used to apple's not-laptop-speakers-in-laptops-anymore paradigm shift. the xps still has laptop speakers, so it's sort of obscene how not-a-comparison it is between the xps and the mbair/mbpro.

you can't seem to buy an IS flag on ebay or amazon.

sometimes i wonder about the epic hax that went down because of heartbleed that we will never, ever hear about

nextcloud on the same machine as the mailserver or on a different one

imap is slowwwwwwwwwwwwww

i am breaking rfc2487 by requiring STARTTLS for all mail on a public mailserver.

fastmail puts your sending end-user client IP in the outbound email header if you send email via their submission port (smtp). this is a data leak. :(

setting up a mailserver is a royal pain in the dick

when you add an IMAP account to Mail.app on macOS, it connects to some Apple configuration service (presumably leaking your imap server hostnames and/or domains to Apple) before connecting to your server.

looks like the m1 ipad pro isn't actually out yet
