So, which one of you is the serval and which one is the bag?
Hey, does anyone have a server that will allow me to test whether my client certificate is valid on *outgoing* SMTP-over-TLS messages? Plenty of testers for an incoming-mail server, and for outgoing TLS without a certificate, but neither of those is what I need to test. I'm aware that very few receiving servers actually care whether my outgoing server has a valid client certificate, but given that I can, I want to do it right for the ones that do.

I can never tell whether the system is going to display a preview of a link or not. Anyway, this one was someone commenting in the other place as follows:
the funniest people on here are the ones who invent a social transgression in their head and then post a tweet attacking it like "Just because someone is wearing overalls and pushing a hoop down the road with a stick does NOT mean they say y'all so Stop. Fucking. Assuming. So."

@frankiesaxx Also would you sign this code of conduct so I can be sure you share my values while providing me with a free sweater?
My imouto just asked me whether she should put her hand-me-down external hard drive in a toaster, and I'm honestly not sure whether she means that literally.

One thing that was really hard for me when I was in academia is how lonely it felt to be working on something that nobody cared about. I was seeing all of these beautiful things and I couldn't share them with anyone.
Sometimes I want to go back and do mathematics "for real" but then I feel sad when I think I won't be able to share it with anyone.

@mattskala @awg Depends on the instance, some places will make a custom emoji for you to commemorate the occasion.
While you're here, check out my Web log at http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ .
Maybe what killed Web logging was the ridiculous four-letter word "blog." We could bring it back if we all agreed to call it Web logging, as God intended.
