I understand what you mean, having had to deal with SPF nonsense for a job back in the day. The SPF nonsense is what prevents selfhosting email, as you effectively point out yourself. If there were somehow a way to use federation to tackle that, it seems like it could be kinda cool.

Decentralized email? I feel like I could get behind that

The bill, and the hotel for the family that can no longer use their home?

The mouth harp is legit annoying.

Homie can scream like nobody’s business, but that’s what you’re gonna get.

My path went from Gojira, to Mastodon, David Maxim Micic, and Rivers of Nihil (check out where owns know my name).

If Metal metal isnt really your thing, check out Leprous. Malina and Pitfalls both kick ass and are about as far from metal where you still get some recognizable tropes.

This is a really solid writeup. L’Enfant Sauvage is a banger front to back. Of particular note for me are Explosia, L’enfant Sauvage, and Gift of Guilt.

Magma feels really good too. Silvera and Stranded are the standard picks, but Magma and Low Lands are worth checking.

Fortitude… Born for One Thing starts it off nicely, but Amazonia just bugs the shit out of me to the point that everything that follows sounds bad. I have listened once with that song blocked, and I enjoyed it much more, but not enough to give more info.

Gonna hop and the train and say “closure” is not what Hyperion offers, and it’s not intended to. Hyperion is honestly a subversive introduction to the next 3 books, in which you get 2 separate cathartic endings.

You forgot about his diapers

I feel ya, but what else COULD you describe someone in a single word that doesn’t seem to be able of forming their own thoughts?

The term is followers. The people who aren’t able to hold their own opinions are called followers.

Women? Who said anything about women?

Yeah it is? There’s a reason your dns confutation has a backup IP address.

The irony of this being paywalled…

I mean, it would be in the US where OSHA is a real thing, cause OSHA is in the US, but in Canada which is, iirc, not a part of the US…

Assassinating hitler does not fall under doing their job and yet it would be a great thing to have done.
