@petko Ow. Okay. That's not something I want to deploy into prod.

I guess we'll see what happens faster: Stalwart 1.0, or me decomissioning my old mail server.

@coccola Mensch, es wird eine richtige Obsthang!

Some guy collected whale poop in his freezer for years before a researcher was interested to study them

“Samples of whale feces collected by a man from South Australia have contributed to what is described as a “groundbreaking” study of diets and microbiomes of southern right whales, according to researchers.”

Layan Ayoub (@Layan2002) writes this morning of the grief of a mother at the death of her only surviving child. It made me think sharply of another friend of mine in #Gaza, Bara'a ( @baraa1998 ) whose son, Ibrahim, is her only surviving family, and is sick. I know how much she fears to lose him.

Food is scarce and expensive in Gaza now; everyone is malnourished. If you can afford to give, it may save lives.

In my appointment today, she said something that I was feeling but hadn't yet identified or acknowledged, as part of survivorship care (after cancer).

She said there is often a thought like "how did I survive that plane crash and others didn't".

And yes, I do have some of those feelings. I've been ignoring them, focusing on surviving and working on thriving.

Yes! I am experiencing survivorship guilt.

Shit!

I'm hoping that acknowledging it, and accepting it, will help me move beyond it.

@datn I love bricks I have half of one of my legs covered in tattoos of them given all by different people and tomatos are super tastey so thanks you give me good ideas

Kent Carpenter, an American marine biologist, led the Global Marine Species Assessment with his team at Old Dominion University for over two decades. His team coordinated hundreds of experts worldwide to assess nearly 20,000 marine fishes, corals, and other marine species for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

@CTD It was more that it changed Windows from being isolated desktop PCs to a bigger networked ecosystem; this does the same by bringing different operating systems together.

George reflects on how the RSS ecosystem changed since the end of Google Reader. He also introduces what RSS is, how to use it, and what feed reader options are now available.

I may a little sensitive, but if that happened to me once it would ruin me.

De klimaatcrisis is geen toekomstscenario. Ze is hier. Vandaag om 12.00 uur start de #Hittestaking. Zorgverleners, vakbonden en klimaatbeweging eisen bescherming tegen extreme hitte: thuis, op werk en met een klimaatnoodplan. Hitte is geen ongemak. Het is een bedreiging.

I feel seen.

@algernon if you configure the data store to be backed by postgres you only tell stalwart to use postgres to store its kv store in instead of whatever the popular Rust homebrew db was... rocksdb? The issue is with the structure of the kv store itself -- it is *not* human readable (the keys are numeric), it is not documented apart from digging in the source code. It uses absolutely nothing of the toolset of PG apart from a table with two columns. And it needs to be migrated upon upgrade.
