After 6 years, 5 months and 1 day of faithful service, I've retired this Linode VM that served me so well as a mail server for a variety of side projects. It was also the longest running server I've had so far.

UK pioneering global move away from passwords Government to roll out passkey technology across digital services as an alternative to SMS-based verification.

Pretty big news! This week, the National Cyber Security Centre of the UK announced that it will be rolling out passkeys across the UK’s digital services later this year. The organization will also be joining the FIDO Alliance to help shape the evolution of passkeys. www.ncsc.gov.uk/news/governm...

All of Spain, Portugal and Andorra are without power right now. Nobody knows what happened or how the entire grid went kaput.

You can pair EasyRide with the half fare card and not have to worry about pre booking tickets. You just check in at the station and check out when you arrive and it automatically charges you the cheapest ticket type.

EasyRide – the ticket that does things your way | SBB With EasyRide you check in before your journey and check out again afterwards. EasyRide recognises the route travelled and calculates the lowest price.

This was a game changer for me in Switzerland last month www.sbb.ch/en/travel-in...

SMTP Codes A collection of SMTP responses from email systems and what they mean.

Thought I'd share a little geeky project I've taken on. Introducing smtp.codes:

smtp.codes is a collection of SMTP response codes returned by email servers and a guide to help you understand what the SMTP codes that various email servers respond with mean.

TIL two of Amex's cofounders were Henry Wells and William Fargo.

Yes, those same two would later create the other well known institution when the board of Amex (then still an 'express shipping' company, hence the name) did not want to expand to California during the gold rush.

first name #domains folks (there's dozens of us, dozens), have you settled on a username / local portion of your first name domain email? name@name feels repetitive, but i haven't found anything else that clicks better for me.

I started with hi@, but recently moved to f@ -- open to hearing thoughts though!

I envision using it when I need to log in on devices that are not mine. Because of the need for a PIN, it slightly slows the process down as I need to enter the PIN to use it either as a passkey or second factor, vs just using a platform key with FaceID.

Earlier this week I got my first FIDO2 hardware security key from TOKEN2, a Swiss security company. Today, I finally sat down to configure it and deploy it on a few sites.
