Fuck's sake, @NPR

@WiredForFlight True, but as I understand it, many other conditions (i.e. diabetes) used to kill careers too, but that's since been fixed.

Here's hoping we can see similar reform in mental health regulations.

@WiredForFlight Agreed.

I'm gearing up to get in the cockpit again soon after months away due to cataract surgery.

Anyone who acknowledges a failing medical condition, physical or mental, and does the work to get it addressed responsibly should have just as easy a path back to the cockpit as I did.

@pganssle SMTP is just a text protocol over TCP. So, use whatever socket library you're comfortable with and then look up the SMTP spec. Most likely, for your use case, you can ignore all the stuff about attachments and just accept basic messages and parse their contents.

Like, the first message you have to accept is a four-char "HELO". That kind of simple.

The biggest problem you're likely to run into is many messages are encrypted into Base64, but even then, there are a ton of libraries to decode it.

@pganssle Correct. And coding up a basic SMTP receiver is actually surprisingly easy. Parsing the email for the code would be more challenging.

@molly0xfff I have so many exciting non-bullshit projects I could execute with a fraction of that money...
Why does the world have to be so stupid?

@aram It's security. Power is used to ward off fear.

#FreeSpeech jurisprudence, in its simplest form, can be analogized as the crazy hobo delivering sermons on the street:

You're free to voice any opinion you want.
But you can't force anyone to listen to you.
And you're not entitled to use anyone else's megaphone.

In other words, you have a free speech right to scream into the void, and the rest of us have a free speech right to decide if we give enough of a shit to listen.

Just sighted in my new scoped .177 Daisy air rifle. Hit within half an inch at 20 yards.

Hopefully this will help deter the ducks who no longer fear me and insist on nesting in my roof.

@VPS_Reports It's education. It's always been education. That's why the right is so dead-set on killing DEI in state-run schools.

Mocked up a train last night in about an hour for fun.
