Why would Framework "distance" themselves from Omarchy? What's a Linux distro got to do with anything?

"English spelling has a reputation. And it’s not a good one." - never have i ever agreed with anything more
different hill, but one I would die on is: as the letter "c" should make the "ch" sound, the letter "c" serves no purpose not already handled by "s" or "k" otherwise
I completely agree with you. I've taken an amateurish interest in linguistics over the past couple of years, and I've often thought that it might be a fun exercise to come up with a phonetic alphabet for the English language. Use the letter 'c' to represent /ch/, 'x' to represent /sh/, etc.
Maybe as a fun pet project someday!
How much does it cost? I'm just curious. No, I don't want to book a meeting to "discuss" it.
If you have to ask, you can't afford it!
Can anyone recommend a good dummy passkey provider to use when developing and testing RESTful authentication services that will rely on WebAuthn? Every example that I've seen online for interacting with a WebAuthn service assumes that you're working within the context of the browser and can use the Navigator APIs.
I like to use regular ol' cURL when testing out API endpoints, and it would be great if there were some kind of dummy CLI program that I could use to generate the WebAuthn key agreements and materials.

I originally signed up with Vultr because they make it easy to set up an OpenBSD server, and I wanted to experiment with hosting my own mail server on OpenBSD. I've since expanded my usage with them and host everything on Vultr. Very satisfied with their service!

Does anyone have a recommendation about where to host an internet-facing mail server? I've been running my own mail server on various VSPs (digital ocean and linode), but sending email is not quite as reliable as I'd like it to be.
Are there different hosts I could try? Or am I better off paying for something like fastmail and using them as a smarthost?
I host my own mail server on Vultr. One thing to note if you want to use them is that, by default, they block outgoing SMTP ports by default. You have to file a support ticket to unlock that port for your account, and you need to have a server running under your account on their infrastructure for at least a month before they'll unblock the port.
It's a bit annoying, but they do it to prevent people from using their infrastructure to send spam. And you only ever have to do it once.

As a side note, silicon carbide (also known as moissanite, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moissanite) has better optical properties (slightly higher refractive index, twice as high dispersion) while not carrying multiple ethical dilemmas. It has a slightly lower hardness, but it does not matter unless you want it precisely to cut things.
When I proposed to my wife, I proposed with a ring with a single, solitary moissanite gemstone, about 1kt. She loved it (I assume she still loves it, she still wears it and gets complements on it frequently). One of the main complements that she receives is how "shiny" it is, probably due to how refractive moissanite is compared to diamond. That made me feel good hearing how people noticed.
It was also SIGNIFICANTLY less money than an equally sized diamond at the time. I understand that you want to demonstrate your love and affection to your significant other, but I can't justify spending nearly $10k on a ring, whose gemstone was probably harvested by someone working in reprehensible conditions (probably slavery).
Digital Ocean has an extremely poor reputation over a long period to the point where their droplets are blocked on mass in many places now [1]
Even my local ISP refuses mail from them.

This is also why I went with Vultr as my server host. They block port 25 by default and make customers file a support ticket with them to unblock that port. They also require your account be active for at least a month and be using their service in good standing during that time. Wasn't an instant process, but was simple enough to accomplish in the end.
I have this part:
> I host my own email server with Vultr on an OpenBSD VM using OpenSMTPD and Dovecot
But with outgoing mail being relayed internally to dkimproxy which signs it before being relayed back to OpenSMTPD for delivery to the other email server.
I had to set up SPF and DKIM DNS records, and one time I had to request that my IP be removed from the Abusix blacklist. Other than that, it's pretty rare for my emails to be marked as spam. Outlook 365 seems to do it much more often than Gmail though.
That's very interesting. I never thought to relay mail internally to dkimproxy. I'll have to give that a shot. I like the idea of hosting the entire solution myself and not relying on any 3rd party solutions, but relaying through SMTP2Go was the only thing that I tried that actually solved the problem. Perhaps this will offer a good solution! Thanks!
The problem is that spam was/is so bad that extreme measures were taken to curb it. There are all kinds of invisible forces that you abutt that can be difficult to figure out, such as IP blacklists and the like. And even if you set everything up properly and host your email with a responsible host, Microsoft will still mark your mail as spam.
I host my own email server with Vultr on an OpenBSD VM using OpenSMTPD and Dovecot, relaying all outbound mail through SMTP2Go (their free tier more than meets my needs). I have all of the necessary DNS entries set to mark my mail as legit, and I sign all outgoing mail using strong 2048-bit RSA keys. Thus far, I'm able to send mail and not have it marked as spam (at least to everyone that I've corresponded with thus far). It was a lot of work to get to that point, but not terrible.
