    I went through this journey looking for new providers recently after Proton started doing crypto shit. Tuta and Fastmail were the main recommendations, though the former has been accused of being a honeypot and the latter has really awful practices toward workers and unionisation.

    I went with Migadu as a no-nonsense solution, and I’m over the moon with it.

    As a big fan of decentralisation and federation, I was very tempted to try out Disroot, but I wasn’t ready to try it out with my main mailboxes. I’ll likely use it for any upcoming toy projects I embark on though.


  • As someone who lives in Wales and drives, cycles and walks around daily, I think this is a great policy, but poorly communicated and has been a target by populist politicians which has fed into the discontent.

    I agree. This is an outstanding, evidence-based policy of exactly the sort we should be implementing, albeit one that’s been communicated awfully and failed to be defended against the prideful ignorance of the populist right amidst Welsh Labour’s political turmoil.

    I think I’ve accepted in my head that the similarly maligned Sustainable Farming Scheme will have to be watered down due to Gething’s misadventures and our consequent inability to defend even well-constructed, evidence-based policy against populist rhetoric, but I really hope the 20mph speed limit survives this painful, reactionary period at least.


  • I’m not sure it’s a ‘pigs flying’ moment. Despite being an ultra-committed conservative, he’s been a critic of Trump since the beginning (and other unserious Republicans like Sarah Palin) and voted Democrat in 2016 and 2020 accordingly.

    Honestly, fair dues to him. He’s from an elder era of more serious politics, and — as incongruent as it may sound when referencing those with a libertarian slant — an injection of that sort of seriousness is exactly what the American right-wing sorely needs. Like with Dick Cheney, I agree with him about virtually nothing — apparently except for the continuation of American democracy that’s tragically on the ballot this November.

    I wish there were far, far more Republicans willing to act similarly.







  • I love the focus on the ‘childless cat lady’ line.

    I think that line epitomises the pointless spite that characterises MAGAism. The constant bullying and insults are entirely unnecessary to their agenda but they just can’t stop themselves, and if we end up post-November with them wondering how things might have gone had they not insulted tons of voters this way then I’ll find that delicious.

    I suppose the counterpoint is that the insults and bullying might well be necessary, that their ‘othering’ and painting opponents as lesser, more ridiculous, less human enemies is a core part of how such populist fascist movements gain traction. “The cruelty is the point,” as some say.

    I’m 100% with you on Docker. I haven’t used BSD jails in a very long time, but do you have a view on how they compare to other Docker alternatives in Linux like LXC containers and systemd-nspawn?

    to run a virtual pipe organ

    This sounds like an incredible use case.





  • I think it’s probably useful to mention the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) here which describes most of the tree structure detailed in the diagram.

    The directory layout mostly adopted by most distros evolved over time though, with major differences existing in how distros view usage of different parts of the filesystem, making it more of a standard that documents how the filesystem is laid out rather than one that defines it.

    On a personal note, I hated /run for the longest time, thinking it a pointless, redundant quirk that exacerbated inconsistencies across distros. More recently though, I’ve come to value a space that is now (mostly) implemented consistently as a tmpfs mount from which to handle runtime data.
