MTA-STS?

"Google has deployed MTA-STS, and past experience suggests that this means, "Here's some totally useless new thing, but if you don't implement it, we're eventually going to stop accepting your email." So can someone point me at simple instructions to make it go on my mail server? (Postfix 2.10, Centos 7, certs via Letsencrypt) Or tell me that this is a thing that nobody will ever care about. ..."

I would like to announce a public server running #brutaldon: https://brutaldon.online/

Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon. You can use it as a client for any instance. Currently you do not need a separate brutaldon account. It is compatible with almost any web browser, including text-mode browsers like lynx, w3m, or eww.

Screenshots, issues tracker, and source code are available at https://github.com/jfmcbrayer/brutaldon.

Have fun!

ActivityPub, but over gopher.

SHARE WHAT YOU DO FOR A LIVING, BUT MAKE IT SOUND SCARY

I coax unliving glass and metal into a false semblance of life and awareness. People stare for hours on end into the half-truths it dredges up for them. And when one of my creations falters or disobeys, I torture it by slowing time to a crawl while I poke about at its insides.

Question for Lispers:

What package do you recommend for database access? I'm mainly looking for an ORM, but am also willing to do things manually. I'm mainly targeting postgres, but I'd like to let people use other databases if they want (and be able to use sqlite for testing).

Is CL-SQL still the way to go? CL-DBI? Postmodern? Mito? Crane? Elephant?

It seems like the ORMs are Django-like rather than Hibernate-like, in that they require modifying your model classes. True?

#SummerThingToDo:

I plan on writing an #ActivityPub implementation.

* In Common Lisp, because I want to get better at CL.
* Client-facing server is top priority.
* Federating server is second priority.
* Client is least priority.
* Client-facing server will use ROCA style.
* Each part will implement checklist on AP Github.
* All components will be as loosely coupled as possible.
