Engineering,

My calisthenics program has a problem. Instead of proper opponents the holodeck is only creating cartoon ponies.

During the day I'm all "gender is a social construct, you can be whoever you like, your anatomy does not define you!"

But then I put on my other hat to help my local baseball association with registrar duties and go full sadpanda as I sift through questionnaires with questions like "would your daughter like to join the all-girls team?"

Sigh. And this is especially stupid for baseball, because such gender modalities like muscles and aggressiveness have almost zero impact on how good a player is, especially for younger kids.

Today's goal is inbox... well not zero, but at least under 50.

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."

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? ;)
