Spam defense tip for folks self-hosting email: the #1 performing rule I have (accounts for ~75% of blocked messages) is rejecting forged EHLO hostname.

That is, client greeting us with EHLO followed by a hostname that does not resolve to the IP address they're sending from.

It's dead simple but super effective. Does need a few allowlist exceptions for known broken senders, most notably Microsoft.

I still plan to disassemble it and look for a UART port to get a shell and start the real work, but I'm going to wait until I have to give it the first major cleaning before I do that.

Until I get root and have full C&C, I still wouldn't consider this robot "autonomous"; it requires babysitting

Twice it has pathed out of a mowing zone (poor RTK positioning, my fault, see tip #1) and I had to go rescue it.

Occasionally it has a transient error and stops, I click "clear error" and it resumes.

Personally, I think Helmet #1 is at least as cool as the Sutton Hoo helmet and it is nearly completely intact.

The real prizes of the collection and of the whole museum are three Roman gilded and bejeweled presentation helmets. Only a dozen or so of them have been found throughout the whole empire. You had to have done something awfully special to have gotten one of these.

Here is helmet #1.

Libcom: **The Thunderer #1 (1985)**

Me strolling to bed after acquiring a cgc rated comic book bundle last night with both NFL Super Pro #1 and Toxic Avenger #1 off of eBay

Reason #1,473 why American Healthcare Insurance and Medicaid/Medicaid are so expensive and not only cumbersome but almost unusable:

My son has 6 specialist doctors and 3 therapists with the largest medical hospital and clinics system of the state. Suddenly, no notice ahead of time to each clinic or my son, his insurance company AND Medicare/Medicaid in March announced each year each professional must have their own referral from the family doctor, with each diagnosis listed for each doctor and therapist before any more appointments are allowed.

So, for example each of the 3 different therapists in the outpatient therapy clinic (OT,PT, and SLP) need separate letters of referral for 2026. The 3 doctors in the same clinic for neuroscience need separate letters. The GI doctor needs one. The Alzheimer Clinic needs 2: the NP and the Clinical Geriatric Psychiatrist.

9 separate letters to be faxed by the family doctor office. Then we will do it again in 9 months. Oh, and no notice to us. And the insurance company and Medicare/Medicaid, and the hospital system don’t have any responsibility to inform the patient. It’s all “find out the hard way” when you show up to your appointment and are told it’s cancelled because the patient didn’t get this taken care of.

Do you realize the time this takes for family to make to ask the family doctor for each letter and we are to supply each name, each diagnosis, each address, each fax number. How many patients and family advocates are capable of doing these separate requests? What if I don’t have English as my first language? What if I’m not quite educated enough to understand what must be done? What if I was traveling or sick and unable to get this done? What if I had no idea now I have to do this over and over now?

What if I had not asked the right questions the first time we ran into the problem? We solved the one for last week but today I learned the full scope of the problem because I got a call from the other neurologist’s appointment scheduler IN SAME CLINIC who told me we will be cancelled from an appointment we’ve waited for SIX MONTHS unless we get a new referral order. I asked “But we got one last week! For same office! Oh-ho, silly me, didn’t I know we need a separate referral for each doctor? No one told me last week. And what if I had not just now on the phone asked the right questions?

Ok, now I have to GET AN APPOINTMENT with the family doctor and bring a list of each professional and their contact information for each request. I have 8 days to complete this for our next neurologist appointment for seizures. We saw the neurologist for migraines same office last week. We go to a different clinic for Alzheimer’s in 3 weeks. I could just scream.

TL; DR: The insurance and government healthcare programs have made paperwork requirements even more difficult and time-consuming. Someone is “paying for this”. Who do you think pays?

Let's deal with #1 first.

As always, let me make this personal.

I've certainly had eras of my life, in the past, when I did not like guys very much. In fact, *hate* would be a more accurate term.

It's not the healthiest response to gendered trauma and oppression but it's real.

Indeed. Centrist Republicans are spineless. Centrist Democrats are spineless. Meanwhile MAGA is turbocharged and the American left is despondent and dissipated. Some of this is due to plutocracy: they pump money into MAGA and they control traditional media and social media. One response to this is cynical defeatism. But I say the left should take over the Democrats. Job #1 for that is shut down these pathetic voices on the left that are useless whiny entitled cynics

Sleeve #1! The pattern was for short sleeves despite all the pictures being long sleeves, so I had to figure out how and when to decrease for long sleeves on my own, which is more of an adventure than I was expecting for my first knit sweater. It took a couple of tries but I think it works!

quicksand and the bermuda triangle were the #1 threats when i was young

@kaia@pleroma.soykaf.com lmao #1 was a good number

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Alien Jar Pin.

Scientist #1: We have captured an alien species. It could be the most important scientific discovery in history. It might also be extremely dangerous. How should we contain it?

Scientist #2: idk let's put it in a jar lol

And when merging multi-part book files with m4b-tool, you'd have to keep both just to keep the original torrent seeded.

I'd really prefer folder-structure as primary... Just take that and apply metadata within it.

Rather than the seemingly-preferred Audiobooks/Book/Book.m4b structure which seems like a nightmare to maintain in a world where torrent uploaders are naming their folders things like "1 Pulse" (Jeremy Robinson - Chess Team Adventure #1 - Pulse)
