I automate one changelog per project using git-cliff and conventional commits:

https://github.com/orhun/git-cliff

https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/

This changelog is copied into the release on github, or wherever the release is announced.

There is a pub in Bristol called the Intrepid engineer. The engineer in question was IKB himself who, in the preliminary stages of the making of the Clifton suspension bridge, had himself hauled across the Avon Gorge on a steel table while suspended in a bucket. None of his workers were brave enough to do it. Halfway across the bucket snagged on a cable. IKB clumbed out of the bucket, freed it, climbed back in and continued on his way.

In the UK, if they like you enough, they name a pub after you.

No truer statement. Made me smile to read.

Bit of a nightmare at a group or org level, though.

Interestingly, making this change can trigger a CrowdStrike "privilege escalation" alert.

Tailscale (https://tailscale.com) is a great solution for this use-case. It's also just an absolutely excellent experience overall and I can't say enough nice things about it.

Thoughtful · 4 years ago

Their documentation is excellent too. Also worth mentioning the open-source derivative: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale

They apparently log the IP addresses for customers where they receive a warrant from the local authorities. Not everyone’s IP and they don’t just give them away.

But on the positive side, one does not have to use PM. There’s plenty of encrypted e-mail providers out there that will not store any info whatsoever on their customers and should the police ever dare question them they’d rather die shooting than give them anything anyway.

Thoughtful · 4 years ago

Is there? Could you give some examples of email providers that wouldn't comply with a legal request?

Protonmail, from what I understand, does contest the requests it receives, but some they have to follow. My impression is that this would be true for any provider.

Controversial and technically dubious. The whole premise of the BIMI standard hinges on the adoption of X.509 certificate authorities which will issue certificates (called “VMC”) for a graphical logotype. However, the laws regarding trademarks are restricted in many scopes; legal juristictions and business area (trademark “class”), to name a couple. No VMC issuer could really do anything sensible with similar trademarks which are registered by multiple entities in different juristictions and/or different business areas. The best-case scenario is that huge players like FAANG, CNN, etc. get VMC certificates and the rest of us get nothing. Which is, I guess, why the big players are toying with the idea and are, slowly, tentatively, pushing for it.

Possibly, but I don't know. If someone points me to a Sendgrid-based newsletter that I can subscribe to, I'd be happy to look.

Mondo uses SendGrid. They have a subscription bar at the bottom of the homepage: mondoshop.com

Emojis in subject lines can sometimes cause issues with ticketing systems, so I can only imagine how ticketing systems will like emojis as domains.

If you need to prevent upgrade in Debian, Ubuntu, and other Debian package based distros add a version hold in apt's preferences by creating a 'pin' on the current version:

  /etc/apt/preferences.d/thunderbird68

  Package: thunderbird
  Pin: version 1:68.*
  Pin-Priority: 1000

Thoughtful · 5 years ago

How would you later remove the pin?
