@FartsWithAnAccent I saw a split bike seat a decade ago. Rider said it was very comfortable. Maybe this variant is different because it tilts too. 🤷

 

The water wars are coming to The Indiana

Besides big data centers planned by Facebook, Google and Amazon, there’s a fourth site planned by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation estimated to pull 100 million gallons per day from an aquifer.

After testing ssmtp, nullmailer, and msmtp for relay-only outgoing mail on Fedora #Linux. Here's my final report:

- ssmtp is packaged for Fedora and I got it working, but the Ansible role I found for it had been abandoned by the author because ssmtp itself is unmaintained.
- nullmailer might have worked, but is not packaged for Fedora.
- msmtp worked. I used this Ansible role, after patching it to work on Fedora: https://github.com/chriswayg/ansible-msmtp-mailer

Looks like to setup OpenSMTP as a relay, you are recommended to use procmail, which is itself unmaintained.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/OpenSMTPD

Still msmtp lacks one feature that I had to workaround: It wasn't properly handling cron mail that was generated to a bare address like root or test. I solved that by writing an sendmail wrapper which rewrites the input just before it's handled to msmtp.

ssmtp is unmaintained.

msmtp is the recommended successor. The Arch wiki recommends also considering OpenSMTPD, which I haven't looked at yet.

@intensely_human It was a weird option to include in the survey anyway, along with giant sports arena.

How I fixed not having an IPv6 address at home

On a "What is my IP" site I found it was no longer reporting an IPv6 address when I knew my ISP had assigned one.

I realized the problem what I had added an additional router was now double NAT'ed, breaking IPv6.

The solution was to go into my nested router's settings and enable "bridge mode" AKA "Wireless AP" mode, which put it in the same IP range as the ISP router and resolved the issue.

@ergomechkeyboards Num row feels different today but cat tail why.

@lambchop I wouldn't call the Miryoku layout bad. I think has some elegance and consistency to it, but I strongly prefer one shot modifiers, which Miryoku doesn't have room for. I created an alternate layout that includes a sixth column on each hand for rarely-used or optional keys. My "markstos" layout is also in the QMK repo for Corne keyboards. There are several other differences as well! I have a page about it here:

Two great #ios apps that #Fediverse folks should know about:

  1. Mona is full-featured Mastodon app. Several features are available in a paid Pro version with a one-time fee to support development. I liked Metatext but Mona is better!
  2. Memmy is a Lemmy app, providing a #Reddit type experience.

Great UX on both!
