@vbabka @ljs technically, "beer" is uncountable in English. :)

@brauner @gregkh Yes, it's based off the change-id of the series, though it also makes sense to change it to be the latest date. Feel free to suggest this on the tools list.

@dgar well, they weren't Wong (who were the pioneers of cinema).

Updated script that is probably saner when diceware isn't installed.

@brauner no, looks like there's no option to override it at all other than via calling the send-hook and setting my_hdr.

@torvalds You're right, it's really only there in case diceware isn't found, though.

In all honesty, the random words are just a quirk I came up with while being bored on a call and it should really just be:

echo "$(date +%Y%m%d)-$(openssl rand -hex 12)@whatevs"

@brauner It's for neomutt -- this is my my_hdr setting.

@siddhesh_p Mostly, it shouldn't be guessable, it should have enough entropy to be globally unique, and it shouldn't leak any info about you that you don't want to reveal (such as your system's hostname).

I’m generating my own artisanal message-id’s, thank you.

@fell Not *wrong* just super obtuse when you see a huge and completely random string in the URL when linking to that message. Not great UX.

Oh no, neomutt switched to entirely randomly generated message-ids in the latest release. I'm not fond of this either. :(

@sab the easiest example is that if you decide to move instances, you can't move all your content -- it's tied to the instance where you posted it. Second of easy example is that the admin of your instance can post anything they want pretending to be you, without any way of easily identifying impostors.

I've got to say, that considering who is developing it (the person behind SSB, for one), I am interested to see how the AT protocol shapes up.

@dragnucs In my experience, given enough eyeballs, people will assume that someone else's eyeballs are going to do the looking. :)

Yes, there may be a few bugs there. Probably. Or there could be zero bugs. It's like looking for a black cat in a dark room -- you won't find it until you stumble over it.

@jmorris @corbet this is why we need web3 -- the enshittification is baked into web3 apps from the get-go.
