After 6 years, 5 months and 1 day of faithful service, I've retired this Linode VM that served me so well as a mail server for a variety of side projects. It was also the longest running server I've had so far.

Pretty big news! This week, the National Cyber Security Centre of the UK announced that it will be rolling out passkeys across the UK’s digital services later this year. The organization will also be joining the FIDO Alliance to help shape the evolution of passkeys. www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/governm...

All of Spain, Portugal and Andorra are without power right now. Nobody knows what happened or how the entire grid went kaput.

Thought I'd share a little geeky project I've taken on. Introducing smtp.codes:

smtp.codes is a collection of SMTP response codes returned by email servers and a guide to help you understand what the SMTP codes that various email servers respond with mean.

TIL two of Amex's cofounders were Henry Wells and William Fargo.

Yes, those same two would later create the other well known institution when the board of Amex (then still an 'express shipping' company, hence the name) did not want to expand to California during the gold rush.

first name #domains folks (there's dozens of us, dozens), have you settled on a username / local portion of your first name domain email? name@name feels repetitive, but i haven't found anything else that clicks better for me.

Earlier this week I got my first FIDO2 hardware security key from TOKEN2, a Swiss security company. Today, I finally sat down to configure it and deploy it on a few sites.
