Thinking seriously about migrating my GitHub stuff to Codeberg. You can find/follow my account at codeberg.org/joeld. I have enjoyed GH as a social network of people making cool stuff, maybe more so for that than for the actual git hosting. Hoping for a nice fungal network transition.

I’m seeing non-local folks admit to subscribing to the republican-owned Minneapolis Star Tribune. This is not the move. If you want to fund local journalism, Racket MN is writer owned and deserves to grow.
On Saturday, restaurants and businesses all along Nicollet Avenue opened their doors for protesters and mourners.

I was about to dump the logs of bounced emails into Claude to get lists that I could give to the intended recipients to follow up on. Then I learned that Proofpoint has a feature that lets you resend the bounced emails, so that solved the issue in my case.

you're not, which is worse. A huge portion of the emails were actually BOUNCED back to the sender due to the way in which delivery failed. There are a lot of emails that the recipients will never see unless the sender re-sends them.
