@java_discussions why would you need this? What is the point of having a middleware between react and spring boot, it just adds complexity...

@hittitezombie @Edent Yes, totally agree, it ain't easy. Setting up and maintaining SPF, DMARK, DKIM etc.isn't for everyone for sure.

But the major problem these days are the black/whitelisting of email servers done by the major players like Microsoft and Google. They essentially control the email space now.

I don't know how many times I've gone through their whitelisting process just because I have a small email server. It is ridiculous, email has essentially become a monopoly now.

@Edent

> Even if you're a digital extremist and have your own domain name, you almost certainly don't run your own email server.

I have been running my own email server for decades. I feel hit by this statement and I am certainly not a digital extremist (but just rather old) 😏

Finally managed to convert my personal website to become fully federated.

Used these platforms:

Mastodon - Micro blog
Pixelfed - Photo based blog
Writefreely - Text based blog

All inter-connected so you will see links to them appearing here on my main Mastodon account as boosted toots.

Oh my how the Fediverse tools have grown since I last checked them out 10 years ago or so. Properly impressed by this I am.

@nixCraft yup, exactly as it goes. But the CTO standing arms crossed to the left has been cropped out for some reason 😁

Top 3 foods I miss from Finland which is hard to find here in Spain:

1) Rye bread (a total cliché but there you go)

2) Mustard (There is only one correct one, and it spells Turku on the label)

3) Citrus-pepper and pink pepper (yes you can mix pepper with squeezed citrus, but it ain't the same thing)

Downloaded my archive with 13 years of tweets.

And oh my, this time-back machine is awesome! Twitter was such a fun place to be back then!

Hoping will turn out to be that place again 🤞

Finally! Was starting to worry this would never get fixed!

Now where did I put those Windows 95 floppies... 🤔

Got my first wisdom tooth extracted today! 🦷

Not a pleasant experience by any stretch of imagination but much less worse than I expected it to be.

Now the tedious part of waiting for the pain to go away 😣

Today Finland celebrates its 105th independence day 🥳

One of the hallmarks of the celebration for Finns is sitting down in front of the TV and watching a celebration held by the President of Finland. The highlight being when the President shakes every guests hand.

Does that sound like a inclusive celebration for all Finns or just the elite?

My suggestion; Switch off the TV, go celebrate on your own, pop that Cava and lift a toast for another year of independence from Russia 🍾

To get Mastodon federation working with different web- and host-domains I had to redirect both host-meta AND webfinger even though the whole purpose of host-meta is to provide the webfinger url?

What gives ?

Does anyone really find Spring Reactive enjoyable?

I recently have been tinkering with a Spring Reactive based service at work an ex-employee left running and trying to to figure out its inner workings. I must say it has been the least enjoyable project I have been involved in a long time.

The reactive way of programming obfuscates the simplest of paradigms into a stream of actions that you actually need a full understanding of the threading model to understand 🤮

Ennen "Fyssa" tarkoitti fyysiikan oppituntia.

Näin vanhetessa se on alkanut tarkoittaa tuntia fyssarin luona missä kaunis nuori hoitaja kääntää, vääntää ja istuu sun käden päälle jotta käteen palaisi normi liikkuvuus.

On se niin ihmeellistä tämä elämä. 🤔
