TL;DR: - NO TL;DR: this time, I spent hours writing, you should spend minutes reading. - OK... I explain in WAY TOO MUCH details how to setup a mail server EDIT (2019-10-26) # OpenSMTPD 6.6.0 was released today, the article was updated to reflect that it applies to the current release and no longer a development version.
TL;DR: - Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it - Big Mailer Corps are quite happy with that myth, it keeps their userbase growing - Big Mailer Corps control a large percentage of the e-mail address space which is good for none of us - It's ok that people have their e-mails hosted at Big Mailer Corps as long as there's enough people outside too EDIT (2019-12-15) # A practical guide to set up a mail exchanger was published on this blog.

TL;DR: In this post I explain crudely how ca.c works and changes to OpenSMTPD related to ca.c I wrote an ECDSA privsep crypto engine I did some EEG work too This is the first report # I will now switch to a monthly report of my tech activities on this blog, and this is the first post in that new format.
TL;DR: Way too many things happened in a six months timeframe. This post won't need a TL;DR as I'll keep it short. Generalized anxiety disorder and alexithymia. # Late 2018, I’ve been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and alexithymia a couple weeks apart.
