  @RGrunblatt WHOIS is not indicating any change in the domain status. Where does that 'administrative console' link resolve to? 🤔

  I've noticed that quite a few new email providers that have 'set up shop' in recent months. I suspect that they are mostly 'hobbyists' who maybe don't have adequate working knowledge to be able to accomplish this by themselves - instead they are using AI to provide the end product. Caveat Emptor! #email

  I asked ChatGPT to create an email client: https://alloneword.pages.dev/i-asked-chatgpt-to-create-an-email-client #email #linux #chatgpt

  After my recent experiment with using ChatGPT, I had a go at setting up SnappyMail, working inside Docker, on my Linux Mint Cinnamon desktop. And it worked! It was also a bonus that it was far easier (and quicker!) to set up than starting from scratch like I did with ChatGPT. Plus, SnappyMail is much more configurable. Another plus, it doesn't take up heaps of storage space or leave junk files behind if I decide to turn it off later. #email #linux

  I've just spent a good half hour or so attempting to block all 'Taylor Swift' articles from my news channels. I've not been able to find a solution on my phone BBC News app, so I've changed it to Google News app. I've managed to block also whilst using my desktop browser, thanks to uBlock Origin. Now to set up a filter in Mastodon, just in case! 🙂

  It will be interesting to see if Pochettino selects the player, and if the player is willing to play against Belgium, as this could have a bearing on the future careers of each. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c1myykx0gmxo #fwc #trump #infantino #balogun

  I was recommended to try cold meats and bread from a local 'Polski Sklep', and was informed that there shouldn't be a language barrier, for a Brit with no knowledge of Polish! I was looking for 'Pimento/Olive Loaf' and a 'Bierwurst' style of cold meats. However, I didn't have much success in explaining what I wanted, and came away with these, I hope that is more or less what I wanted! Also bought some 'Chleb Staropolski&...

  Having this happen to me would be my idea of Hell! Imagine, driving an on-slip to the motorway, only to then find out there's gridlock - nothing moving! I'm sure I would suddenly feel an urgent need to pee! If only on-slips had an escape exit! And no, I don't mean reversing on the hard shoulder! https://theconversation.com/dont-change-lanes-the-maths-of-holiday-traffic-jams-287389 #cars

  I've only gone and done it again! I had a 'brainwave' and registered yet another domain name, even though I promised myself I wouldn't. You never know, I might find an actual use for this one this time! 🙄 #domains #registrars

  I've been experimenting with EU-based DNS and domain registrars, with some spare domains: ClouDNS - for DNS only, a quick learning curve of their UI required. Free for 1 domain. Gcore - for DNS only, that was really easy to set up! Multiple domains allowed, it's free providing you don't exceed monthly 'requests'. INWX - for domain registrar and DNS, had a few head-scratching moments, but with a bit of help from their support, it was soon up and running....

  Deeply Dippy, anyone? Released in 1992, reached no.1 in UK, but failed to chart in US. The middle section featuring the prominent horn arrangement (the instrumental bridge) is something I enjoy listening to over and over again! https://youtu.be/ccP_SaeyT7Q #pop #music #nostalgia
