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? ;)

It's a record high of +13ยฐC in Montreal today. I'm enjoying it now, but I don't look forward to the forest fire season this summer. :(

Fascinating to see the Times slowly trying to come to grips with the way theyโ€™ve been played by Moscow.

It takes them seven paragraphs to get to the fact that the allegations against Biden were (passive voice) โ€œmade up.โ€

Not till paragraph twelve does the real protagonist appear: Russian intelligence. Itโ€™s a Russian disinformation operation. Letโ€™s see if we can say that out loud. https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/111984017335877297

Two years ago, Putin started a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Some predicted that it would fall in a matter of days.

Instead, the Ukrainian people have proven the power of fighting for something.

Putin made a mistake because he cannot understand what drives a human spirit when it is free to think and dream.

He cannot understand that if you give people a choice, they choose liberty.โ€ฏ

Ukraine chose to fight for its freedom and a better future.

And Europe will be with you.

Covidiocracy

North Korea has been supplying Putin with missiles to attack Ukraine. But when wreckage from one of those North Korean missiles was examined, investigators discovered it had been built primarily from smuggled American parts:

"75 percent of the components documented were linked to U.S. companies, with 16 percent linked to European ones, and nine percent connected with companies based in Asia."

So, this is fun, but it really chews through your ChatGPT credits. :`)

I'm working on b4 "code review" mode (grab a series, apply it to your tree, review every patch, send all your acked-by's, reviewed-by's, and individual comments as a one lump batch at the end of your review). The reason I'm playing with this is to see if we can plug in some AI pre-analysis and discussion summaries before the reviewer starts their work.

MASSIVE - Hunter Biden โ€œstar witnessโ€ admitted to DOJ that he was getting information from the Kremlin and serving as a conduit for Russian disinfo.

Thatโ€™s right.

Looks like the whole Hunter Biden โ€œscandalโ€ was a Russian psy-op โ€” straight from Putin.

You know how young children will see some toy or shiny object on a store shelf, and somehow โ€” by design! Marketers know what theyโ€™re doing! โ€” they instantly โ€ขhaveโ€ข to have it, and are obsessed, and all sense and proportion go out they window and they need it now now NOW, but if they get it they soon abandon it because itโ€™s junk that only looked good on the shelf?

Itโ€™s like that with CEOs and AI right now.
