The worst part of my System76 Lemur laptop is the horrendously poor design of the arrow keys. You will notice how PgUp and PgDn are immediately adjacent to the left and right arrow key, but they are also identical to the touch, so whenever I have to edit something that's not in vim, I end up jumping to some random part of the page half the time.

Yes, I have now remapped them to be arrow keys as well, but I really shouldn't have to do that. 😤

The "ad" in "ad-revenue model" stands for "anxiety-driven."

I've followed more cool trans and enby people in the past 6 hours than in the past 6 months, it's glorious. :)

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

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...

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 +13°C 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 they’ve been played by Moscow.

It takes them seven paragraphs to get to the fact that the allegations against Biden were (passive voice) “made up.”

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