Just finished all 9 books of #TheExpanse— a wonderful reading experience and a mix of sci-fi, cosmic horror and military drama that I didn’t think I’d enjoy enough to get through 9 books worth, but definitely did and glad I committed the time. Highly recommended.
I probably picked a bad ISP to self host from (Digital Ocean) but had similar experience until I configured outgoing email to flow through SendGrid and my deliverability issues mostly disappeared.
After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel 😩 Email is now an oligopoly, a service gatekept by a few big companies which does not follow the principles of net neutrality.

I figured things flowing through SendGrid was a “reasonable” compromise given all my outgoing email would probably just end up on a BigTech server at some point anyway, so privacy/anonymity wasn’t really going to be a thing unless the email was encrypted.

Just amazing that something so simple (a functional shell for windows) was so reviled and took such a path of pain to eventually be recognized as revolutionary. This kind of feature is brain dead obvious elsewhere. Explains a lot about the culture at Microsoft at the time.
When I was doing the prototype for what became PowerShell, a friend cautioned me saying that was the sort of thing that got people fired. I didn’t get fired. I got demoted.

🦀 Do you think @rustlang should be standardized in some way, similar to how ISO C and C++ are fully defined in a document? Why, or why not?
Here to shill for my favorite Bluetooth headset, hands down the best purchase I’ve ever made for remote work: amzn.to/3qOM2nO — Voyager Focus by Plantronics/Poly
Apple AirPods are so unreliable we don't allow them at YC demo day anymore. #1 source of audio issues.

Listening to book 3 of The Expanse (Abaddon’s Gate) and there’s a casual reference to Green Chile and Hatch— like a secret handshake for New Mexicans and sure enough, both of the authors live in Albuquerque #TIL #nmtrue #greenchile
