https://Outlook.com Is Quietly Rejecting Email From Domains Without #DMARC #DNS record https://mailroute.net/blog/outlook-rejecting-email-without-dmarc

TIL that Google deletes Gemini conversations after 72 hours if you aren’t logged into Google.

No warning, no notice that this will happen.

Even if you use the share button, which seems like a good place to mention it to me.

Just poof data gone.

Surprising behavior from a company that used to pride themselves on not surprising users.

someone should invent a web search engine that when you type something into the search box it gives you the thing you searched for

Repeating my long-standing offer:

If you are self-hosting email and are having trouble delivering to big providers like Gmail, Outlook, etc - I'm ready and willing to help.

It IS possible. Many small, low volume senders like me routinely get through without being flagged as spam.

A log store with a search box is a library with no catalogue: everything is there, and you have to know the title.

.
Libraries without a catalogue do exist. They are called attics, and the things in them are found mainly while looking for something else.
#sysadmin

Logs are a lot like the universe: vast, mostly empty, and every so often something in them is on
fire.
#sysadmin

Tonight I learned something dangerous about #syslog on #Solaris 10.

Upon daemon (re)start, it runs the syslog.conf file through #m4.

So I can have a standard config with support for systems to deduces their specific centralized log host.

This is very helpful when all the systems have the same /etc/hosts file.

Now I want to say that CobaltRaQ servers included a copy of Chili!Soft ASP. I believe I can get copies of that.

Interesting idea @oclsc!

Thank you for sharing.

My brain sees this and starts thinking things it probably shouldn’t.

I’m going to have nightmares about `orapki`.

It actually makes me wish for Java’s Keystore (JKS) and `keytool` utility.

All this wrapped in a shroud of WebLogic, which I barely know how to spell.

I needed to update two ceallet.sso files per Oracle HTTP Server (OHS), a Java (?) version of Apache HTTP Server (AHS). One in staging and another in a production instantiating.

I had two OHSs to update.

Plus an Oracle Forms server running in / on WebLogic.

😱

@Seirdy every time these thoughts pass through my brain, it imagines how other every-day tools could be so much worse in the same fashion.

You want to grep for something in a file? Just watch this 30sec unskippable video first.

Oh, you'd like to use less(1) on the output of a command, don't mind that it has injected extra lines of advertising in the display.

"Would you like to improve your social graph by connecting to other folks who also use cat(1)?"

ls(1), now with cloud-storage options. It only takes a 30-second time-out to list your files now while we try to connect to our private servers but fail because the machine is offline…

The first time #awk runs, it offers you the ability to download new visual themes and colorschemes for your output.

📎 👀 "It looks like you're trying to replace words in a file with sed. Would you like some assistance? [yes] no"

New and improved tr(1), now with your favorite LLM integrations.

😑

I might be channeling a little too much of the open source spirit.

I’m creating another logwatch / logcheck type utility that does some things slightly different to suit my preferences.

It seems as if ChatGPT is getting better and Gemini is getting worse at the things I throw at them.

I’m having to correct Chat’ less and less often.

JamItUp is failing more and more profoundly.
