I’ve scheduled a big post at 2:30. I’m just so happy to have finished it. I’m going to leave the house so that I don’t constantly hit the refresh button.

Of course, that’s when I’ll find the typos.

Ed25519 DKIM Support: Which Providers Accept Modern (and Weak) Keys?

I use Fastmail for my mail service and it was nice that it was mentioned in this article. I'm going to have to add reviewing my post about BIMI to my list of things to do.

Email authentication is evolving, and Ed25519 DKIM keys promise clear advantages over traditional RSA: smaller keys, faster verification, and stronger cryptographic guarantees. But those benefits only matter if mailbox providers actually support the standard. To find out, Red Sift analyzed DKIM behavior across major email platforms to answer critical questions for email administrators: can Ed25519 keys be deployed safely today without risking authentication failures?

In Praise of Tor Why You Should Support and Use Tor - Privacy Guides

I miss the days where I thought something like this was only for the super paranoid.

I’ve been getting emails about people looking for a US based partner to help them build their profiles. They offer to do the work and then use my name to look for work.

Wasting everyone’s time.

This service should not have any reason to exist.

Make sure that you are fighting for your attention as much as everything else is fighting to take it from you.

"Somebody's Watching Me" by Rockwell

Listen on Apple Music

A song by someone you've met, or would like to meet

I don't think you should meet your heroes and I really don't know what I would do or ask if I was to meet them. So, I'd like to talk to this person to get their story of what it was like to make one of the biggest Halloween hits of all time and how the industry has changed since it was introduced.

"The Elements" by Tom Lehrer

Listen on Apple Music

A song that's largely acoustic

I had a coworker introduce the music of Tom Lehrer and I have to say that I am very happy to have this in my library. Some of his other songs are darker in humor but I wanted to share this one because it talks to the nerd in me.
