People using #qmail have been carefully applying patches for _decades_ to get #STARTTLS, #AUTH, and other basics.This will change.How should notqmail be shaped so that modern features like these are easy to land?

Remember when meetups still happened in locations? 1 of 50 at today's #jcjug revival admitted to living in the NY area. (Not me.) Also the talk wasn't even about #Java.But we did real good, because we got "More Smaller Steps" with @GeePawHill.Watch: https://youtu.be/WYK4kbrmm842020-08-14T20:37:23Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
More fun than I'm entitled to: persuading #Python to build correctly on #Linux with a slightly older Python already installed. This abstruse use case — which if you had to give a name, you might call "updating" — now works. Just use #pkgsrc.http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2020/08/14/msg218942.html#EnormousCI2020-08-09T19:13:34Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

Interpreted generously, the original American project aimed to break free of tyranny and defend human rights in a new, more universal way.July 4 seems a fine occasion to reflect that a more perfect union remains as worthy a project as ever.2020-06-21T13:20:42Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
As we work toward notqmail 1.09 and beyond, we’d like to hear from more folks who’ve…1. Updated your #qmail or netqmail installs to notqmail. (Yay! Anything tricky?)2. Tried and failed to update. (What blew up?)3. Decided not to try yet. (What were some of your reasons?)2020-05-24T06:38:19Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
Folks using #notqmail from pkgsrc, 1.08 is now available: https://github.com/NetBSD/pkgsrc/commit/bb00ba9. Please update.2020-05-20T21:32:26Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers
notqmail 1.08 is out. Vulnerabilities and other bugs fixed, compiler warnings reduced, dead code pruned, presumed-dead code put on notice, my QMAILREMOTE patch added, and lo and behold, our first few unit tests.More: https://schmonz.com/2020/05/20/notqmail-108-released/ #qmail #notqmail #smtp2020-05-16T19:25:28Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

I've guested on lots of podcasts; last month (before life got more interesting) I tried my hand at hosting. For the 100th episode of Developer's Journey, Tim Bourguignon tried his hand at guesting. Coincidence??!? (Also, how'd we do?)https://schmonz.com/talk/20200512-developers-journey/ #coaching #dev #podcast2020-05-07T11:12:18Z via Identi.ca Web To: Public CC: Followers

Oddly cloudy and blue skies on Mars today. Maybe worth a trip.

Can I suggest using Big Blue Button or Mumble (voice only) instead of Zoom, and a free code chat tool (or federated network) instead of Slack? http://web.archive.org/web/20181208131734/https://www.coactivate.org/projects/disintermedia/slacking-off/
I'm a little uncomfortable with Zoom and Slack, for reasons you'd probably recognize, so I appreciate these suggestions.
