Periodic reminder that as long as birth certificates have a "gender" section, then your government is literally running a children's genital registry.

@trini Run "which b4" to make sure you don't have some alias or symlink you forgot about. :)

@trini Hm... I notice that it's missing from the manpage, but 0.13 does certainly have it if you look at `b4 shazam --help`

NTS: before getting frustrated that ntp is refusing to set the correct time on the server, maybe check if it's actually your laptop that has a 30-minute clock skew...

@drewdevault 100%. At least they still use the bot identifier in the user-agent, making it possible to do a string match and 403 them to all heck.

Custom message-ids with mutt and coolname
Show content

Message-ID's are used to identify and retrieve messages from the public-inbox archive on lore.kernel.org, so it's only natural to want to use memorable ones. Or maybe it's just me.

Regardless, here's what I do with neomutt and coolname:

  1. If coolname isn't yet packaged for your distro, you can install it with pip:

    pip install --user coolname

  2. Create this file as ~/bin/my-msgid.py:

    #!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
import random
import string
import datetime
import platform

from coolname import generate_slug

parts = []
parts.append(datetime.datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d'))
parts.append(generate_slug(3))
parts.append(''.join(random.choices(string.hexdigits, k=6)).lower())

sys.stdout.write('-'.join(parts) + '@' + platform.node().split('.')[0])

  3. Create this file as ~/.mutt-fix-msgid:

    my_hdr Message-ID: <`/path/to/my/bin/my-msgid.py`>

  4. Add this to your .muttrc (works with mutt and neomutt):

    send-hook . "source ~/.mutt-fix-msgid"

  5. Enjoy funky message-id's like 20240227-flawless-capybara-of-drama-e09653@lemur. :)

At first, I picked an angry thread to analyze. Probably not a good example... or maybe too good of an example? ;)
