So in case GitHub does a flop again, one could grab the source code of maddy, for example, from git.hexanet.dev/foxcpp/maddy. I should link it somewhere...

There's a good bet that soon SSL will be fully required by major browsers. This is good for security, but it's also symbolic:
Now you need someone's permission to put up a web server.
Now, LetsEncrypt is great and grants SSL certs freely. But what if they go away?
The lack of about:config equivalent in Chromium or really any way to disable privacy-sensitive APIs makes it a threat to your privacy even if you manage to completely "degooglify" it.
TIL BoltDB uses unsafe.Pointer internally. You can tell how I did so.
Do not use it in production.
maddy got 500 stars on GitHub ✨
Go(lang) is one of few compiled programming languages where mutation testing is a viable strategy.
It is a big shame the only existing tool for it was left unmaintained. https://github.com/zimmski/go-mutesting

I liked Caddy v1, but v2 is annoying in a number of ways:
- TLS for localhost by default? Really? Who cares? Why do you want to install a CA on my machine?
- No reload on SIGUSR1? Is this feature _that_ complicated?
- Why would you nuke the v1 docs from the website?
Okay, we now have a nice stacking Wayland compositor.
Considering changing Maddy Mail Server source code license from MIT to GPLv3.
Protobuf is mess, I will go use ASN.1 instead (lol)

Google has some really subtle tactics to sabotage non-Chrome browsers. In this case, you can't download images with Firefox, but you can with Chrome.

My main website is on HTTPS now
I hate it, because it means using LetsEncrypt, but it's clear to me that LE has ruined any will to fix the CA system and instead spof the whole internet on a single nonprofit

Matrix.org is 5 years old, has a company backing its development and a large community. Yet, I see half-assed clients, servers with RAM lust and heavyweight protocol. How hard can it be? And now we (Project Hexanet) are relying on self-hosted IRC for communication, ffs.....

Why Mastodon and the fediverse are “doomed to fail”
-> a small rant about how the profit lens distorts our understanding of success vs. failure:

Sway 1.5-rc1 is released!
Userstyle for new GitHub.
.avatar-user {
border-radius: 5px !important;
}
Seems to be a partial outage. Only from some locations there is no A record.
It seems like GitHub just lost their domain. No A/AAAA records and SOA seems to be definitely not GitHub.
