I started watching The First. It's good but I can tell it's science fiction because it takes place in the 2030s and there's a functioning US democracy.

You spend the first years of a child's life teaching it to walk and talk, then you spend the rest of its life telling it to shut up and sit down.

There's a sticker on the bucket I just bought that warns a child might drown in this bucket. I thought, "Is that a guarantee? I don't want to be halfway through drowning a kid in this bucket and have something go wrong." #buckets #drowning #kids #sfw #warning

Also bad at crime.

The finale of Castle Rock left me confused. I liked the season overall, but not enough to watch it again to try to figure out WTF was going on.

Switching my domain over to my new mailserver was no big deal, but getting all of my old mail imported from ProtonMail was kind of an ordeal.

The only way to export mail in bulk from PM is to use their "Bridge" app, which creates a localhost IMAP server. That doesn't exist for linux, so I had to install it in a Windows VM. Then when I was connected via Thunderbird, I exported all of my mail in .eml format. However, the filenames of the eml files were prefixed with a YYYMMDD timestamp, but postfix writes them out with a UNIX epoch timestamp, so all my new mail was being displayed AFTER all the old mail. I had to write a script to parse the 'Date' header out of each eml file, convert it to UNIX time, then add that as a prefix to the filename. What a PITA. Hopefully I only have to do it once.

Right now I have a paid (€5/mo) ProtonMail account, hosting mail for my domain. I recently set up my own mail server under a different domain for other purposes. That server costs me €3/mo. I'm now wondering if I should ditch ProtonMail and move my other domain to my own mail server. As I see it, the crux is that Proton has a large, redundant infrastructure, and a dedicated ops staff. OTOH, I have a single point of failure and a part-time ops staff of one (me). In terms of privacy, I think PM has pretty good policies, but in my own case I have an absolute guarantee. PM also has a decent webmail interface, but I have Rainloop, which is more than adequate.

Thoughts?

This is the (in)famous episode on Joe Rogan's podcast where Elon Musk smokes a joint -- but even before then, he's acting really fucking stoned.

Wow. Spammers are already trying to relay mail through my mail server. It's been up for... 36 hours maybe?
