Oh, thank you. I didn't know that. Anyway, I'm not using a custom domain on mailbox, I use my custom mail domain with another service.

Unfortunately this is common in many smtp servers and is configuration dependent: After you authenticate as usera@example.com you can send emails as userb@example.com.

> To send encrypted emails, you just select “Use PGP encrypted” when composing a new message, after importing your private key, of course.

I love the concept of PGP and how well it seems to be integrated. I also don't know a single person who uses it or a provider/software capable of decrypting it. I think that's the biggest issue with PGP. Short of asking someone directly, you don't know if they'd be able to receive a PGP encrypted email, so you wont send one.

The whole point of PGP is to actually communicate (out of band) with the party you want to sent mail to and receive his public key.

It's no big deal if you really need to send a private message.

For people that use scoop and want to try Zed there's a precompiled binary they can install using scoop install zed.

I tried it and the experience (mainly visually, fonts colours etc) wasn't very good so I can understand why the Zed developers are reluctant to formally release windows binaries.

I think the most absurd syntax goes to Python again.

Python offers an "extended" form of list comprehensions that lets you combine iteration over nested data structures.

The irony is that the extensions have a left-to-right order again, but because you have to awkwardly combine them with the rest of the clause that is still right-to-left, those comprehensions become completely unreadable unless you know exactly how they work.

E.g., consider a list of objects that themselves contain lists:

  toolboxes = [
    Box(tools=["hammer"]),
    Box(tools=["wrench", "screwdriver"])
  ]
To get a list of lists of tools, you can use the normal comprehension:

  toolsets = [b.tools for b in toolboxes]
But to get a single flattened list, you'd have to do:

  tools = [t for b in toolboxes for t in b.tools]
Where the "t for b" looks utterly mystifying until you realize the "for" clauses are parsed left-to-right as

  [t (for b in toolboxes) (for t in b.tools)]
while the "t" at the beginning is parsed right-to-left and is evaluated last.

The proper way to parse or construct nested list comprehensions as explained in pep 202 is to think like you're using normal for:

for a in b:

  for c in a:

    use(a,b,c)

 
This would be

[use(a,b,c) for a in b for c in a]

Everything stays the same except the "use" part that goes in the front (the rule also includes the filters - if).

For a self hosting solution I'd recommend gitea: it's a single go binary that needs almost no installation (only a config file), it's very fast, updates work great (replace previous binary and restart), supports ldap and has all the features of GitHub your love and even various features that free GitHub does provide (ie branch protection for private repos).

This was really huge. I actually had to pass it to an LLM to get an abstract ....

I didn't know about picocrypt but I already have two options for safely encrypting files: 7zip with its AES-256 (simple) and veracrypt with various algorithms (more involved but allows you to mount the encrypted vols). Actually these are already mentioned in the tool's readmy, great work: https://github.com/Picocrypt/Picocrypt?tab=readme-ov-file#co...

This great for english, but is there something similar for other languages? Could this be trained somehow to support other languages?

Does anyone recommend a good sandalwood cologne? I use an aftershave that is sandalwood and I love the scent but it is fleeting.
spapas82 · a month ago
I also have a favourite sandalwood aftershave (Proraso red) but cannot find this scent in a perfume :(
