  • I’ve made a few things. One, Mickey shaped cabinet hardware I put up for free because I didn’t want to deal with Disney. Though I might put the raw print up on Etsy or something just because.

    Another is a frame to turn a Disney name tag into an ornament. I’m selling the completed product rather than releasing the design because I wanted to really offer it to people who didn’t have 3d printers and wanted to ensure that it met my standards. And I didn’t want competition. That said, it takes quite a lot of time to print, prep, sand, and paint. I spend a couple hours in finishing each and sell it at a price that… Totally doesn’t make it worth it.





  • On her computer, why not just use Thunderbird on it? Or even outlook, or whatever she likes. She just needs to pick the software.

    On her phone, or even yours, why the stuff with accessing Thunderbird through vnc. Just add the server to whatever mail app on your phones?

    If you want a web based thing, roundcube or sogo. But Thunderbird is gonna suck the way you are trying to use it.


  • Stupid rspamd default config on my server blocked an email confirming an order from rayban I guess because it was the first time it saw an email from them? Couldn’t even release it, which annoyed me greatly.

    And it also put a confirmation from a hotel into quarantine because the resort didn’t have a valid spf record. But at least I could release that one.

    I ended up making it much more permissive as a result. But it was super annoying.





  • In high school I stopped saying it. Even stopped standing for it. Ironically, it was a US History class where the teacher got pissed.

    She didn’t make us recite it, but she made us stand for it.

    To this day, I still fucking hate it. I hate it’s origin. It’s goal. And the red scare bullshit that forced “under God” in it. I think it’s a sign of a failed country. That a nation that requires a pledge isn’t doing enough to make people want to be patriotic on their own. That it says I follow my marching orders, whether or not I disagree. That to me, it removes agency and encouragement to dissent and work to make the country better. It reinforces there is a ruling class running the government and a serf class that does the ruling classes will.

    Shitty as it may sound, and as broken as the US political system is, our votes do count. Just not as much as they should.

    We need to vote Democrat until we have a viable option further left or that the right starts moving left to pull in voters forcing the Dems to go even further left. The more of us turn out and vote the more the Republican party is going to need to concede if they want to keep getting elected. I’m in a blue state so while my vote may not be the deciding factor I will still cast it for a left candidate so those on the right that do count the votes know that I want progressive policies and that they don’t represent me.

    I’d really like to see third parties focus on the local governments and build enough of a base that they can start competing at the state and national level. But sadly we aren’t there yet. We need to build that local movement first before voting third party in the presidential election makes sense.
