   @Tutanota thank you, I appreciate that.

   So, when are you editing the image in the original toot that still promotes that misconception? :blobeyes:

   TIL (Today I learned) about RFC9495 https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc9495/ that extends RFC8659 by adding a new CAA property in DNS called "issuemail" that defines wich CA(s) (Certification Authorities) are allowed to create S/MIME eMail certificates for a domain. And if you don't use S/MIME, you should set it to ";" which means that no CA is allowed to do that.

   So I added

   CAA 0 issuemail ";"

   to the dns of my domains until my CA (Certificate Authority) can produce S/MIME certificates.

   Mind you, *I* don't know the specifics either. What I *do* know is that the souls of the dead who stay behind, the *ghosts*, go progressively screwy. Takes anywhere between eight days and eleven centuries.

   And what I don't know either is *why* would a sorcerer apprentice want a living's soul for. Try and pass it off as his own come the end? Demons are thick at times, but none would be stupid enough to fall for that.

   So he's trying something else. What?

   The secret to getting good at writing is being very weird but also caring a lot about other people being able to understand what you're saying.

   You gotta be in touch with your own weirdness first. Then you gotta be able to make it relatable to the audience.

   This is especially true for technical writing. You need to figure out what your audience already knows or believes, and tie whatever you're explaining to that.

   So, like, you can explain Diffie-Hellman mathematics with paint-mixing and "secret colors", right? There are videos that do that. Except instead of colors, it's large numbers.

   And it's not a perfect analogy, but it's serviceable.

   The thing is, you don't get good at writing by scoring higher on some imaginery hierarchy. It isn't "who's the smartest nerd?" Winning nerd trivia isn't essential.

   You fucking need empahty.

   You have to care about the reader. Or, at the very least, about the time they're investing in your words.

   But if you say it like that, people assume you're talking about fiction.

   @Paradox one thing I find hilarious about the anime is the case of Akemi Miyano. Now her only role in the series was VERY early on - chapters 13-16... and in chapter 16 she dies at the end.

   So fast forward to the anime coming out it was early days for that too, they weren't really sure how long things would go so they let her live.

   .... fast forward to chapter 241, her sister appears and becomes not just a major player but a main character... and her sisters death was a big part of that.

   So the anime staff, suddenly remember they hasn't actually killed her off when they were supposed to and basically had to scramble to put together a new episode solely to make sure she actually died this time.

   After talking about, and reading other's thoughts about, HotE, I am rereading again. Not what I planned to be reading, but hey, the other current books are all paper copies, and I /was/ planning on trying out various e-reader apps, a long book is useful for that.

   So far I tried Moon+ and FBReader, also have ReadEra and Librera on the to-try list.
