Before you get too far down this rabbit hole (like I did) for a home mail server, make sure that your ISP supports inbound/outbound mail traffic. Mine blocks it permanently, and I've been unsuccessful at getting it changed. In fac

Really cool site and instructions for an automatic watch. I recently switched to a manual watch, and I think personally I prefer it more. Winding my watch is now part of my every day routine and I look forward to it. I also calculated that

For CLI it’s true to the Go mantra. If the flags library is “good enough” why not just use it and avoid being fancy? Besides, isn’t it feasible someone might confuse long and short options? “Is -d and —delete the same, or is -d —debug??” KI

I’m glad I’m not the only one wondering what was up with that. Also, snopes is not an innocent reference site. Their “debunking” of satire like Babylonbee can cause those sites to be deplatformed.

This can be done easily and without jail breaking on any iPhone with tools such as Charles proxy (provided they don’t do certificate pinning). They work by having you generate, install, and trust a profile which includes a root CA.

Exactly! I have so many side projects I like to tinker with while I'm at home. I use them as a way to learn a new skill. Eventually those skills will come home to my employer, either with new ideas, frameworks, experience, etc. But for

Sometimes I wonder if we were just a different type of people 100 years ago. People were standing in the balcony while it was being lifted? Going to work as normal!? Society would never tolerate such risk these days.

I tried doing this once with Go, hoping for a static binary, but SQLite library requires glibc. There’s a huge need for a sql-compatible sqite-like database for this purpose in Go.
