Took the EV on a longer trip to stretch its legs. Read: I needed to charge to get home. It was pretty easy, but the recharges would be more often than I would prefer.

That’s a risky gambit. I’d have the police here waiting for whomever they sent.

mail A fully-functional mail server deployed under Kubernetes.

For anyone who’s interested, here’s the configuration and documentation for my semi-humble email service. Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, SnappyMail, etc. All in isolated containers in k3s.

You can use AWS SES as a relay. It's very cheap, and easy to configure.

I've run my own server since the nineties and keep configuration (less secrets) available for all to see. Not gonna lie: it's tough, but email gets delivered, it's not an open relay, and I've never been subpoenaed in all that time.

I have a whole file of these stories that I point to whenever someone responds to allegations of domestic abuse/violence with "If it was so serious, why didn't she call the cops?"

It's pretty common, even in the flatlands. Sometimes it's because lights on a hill can be mistaken for the airport surface.

From β€˜The Good Life’ to good neighbors: Minnesota’s ICE resistance rebranded the state How Minneapolis’ response to the immigration crackdown forged a new national identity.

People around the world saw Minneapolis shrouded in tear gas, as if under siege. But they also saw a little city that could, where everyday folk stand up for one another.

I’m just seeing it for the first time, but if they ever do a JJ Cale biopic, Peter Dinklage would be perfect.

Those benches are simply permitted advertising spaces; they serve no other purpose (such as sitting). If people sat on them they would block the advertisement, so they're intentionally placed where people don't sit.

Most municipalities allow them, but will remove them if asked.

You should ask.

Commissioner says Hennepin County Medical Center could close as expenses continue to rise Those representing Hennepin Healthcare are asking state lawmakers to address the financial situation at HCMC.

β€œHennepin County cannot afford to absorb those costs, nor can we increase our property tax levy enough to even cover those costs without revenue to replace the ongoing losses,” said Hennepin County Commissioner Angela Conley. β€œThe hospital will not remain open.”
