Your dear backup reminder
If your computer dies, do you have backups? If so, could you recover them without the computer?

2024-07-22 14:04:00

I enabled TLS requirement to send emails to my SMTP server.
This means SMTP servers connecting to mine on port 25 must ask for STARTTLS and negotiate a valid TLS session to transmit the mail, otherwise my server will stop the session immediately.

As of right now, the Nix program on GitHub reached 2963 issues opened VS 2962 issues closed
https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues
I often look at this metric when evaluating an open source program.
If the total number of issues reached a certain threshold (let's say a few hundreds in a few years), when there are more opened issues than closed issues, this is often a sign of an unhealthy the project.
This is not always accurate of course, but it worked well for me so far.

I wanted to change my email address at shadow.tech since they got hacked and I receive phishing on that unique email address.
Changing the email must be done by the technical support so I asked them.
They ask me my identity card to verify my identity before changing my email. :flan_disappointed:
I'll just delete my account then.

2024-06-24 21:52:18

It seems shadow.tech got powned, I received an email on an unique email I use for their website, it came from "shadowpc.tech" and not "shadow.tech" and informed me about a newer version of their program.
The website linked in the mail looks like shadow.tech website but a bit ugly, there are executable to download on the landing page but none of the other links work

#signal client Gurk [1] compiles and seems to run fine on #OpenBSD (I did not try to connect as I'm not a Signal user).
You can give it a try with:

Run ~/.cargo/bin/gurk
