Obviously, Helix isn't an +email client -- and it's lacking in a plugin system, so you can't really turn it +into one, either. And that's okay! You might be wondering, then, what exactly do +I mean by "writing emails in Helix"? + +An email client needs to do a whole lot more than write text! It needs to +connect to your mail servers, show your messages, display and allow you to +interact with flags/labels, be able to **send** your email, etc. Only an insane +person would try to hamfist this functionality into a text editor (I'm looking +at you, Neovim plugin developers!). + +Helix is **really** good at its _one_ job, and that's **editing text**. It is a +text editor, after all. As it turns out, _writing_ emails is, well, text +editing, which is Helix's forte. So why not take Helix's amazing writing +experience, and apply it to email? If you're willing to take the plunge, you may +be pleasantly surprised at how **joyful** writing email can actually be! + +There are a few different ways to approach composing emails in Helix. This post +covers what worked best for me. That is, using Helix as a composer for the +`aerc` email client. It wasn't straightforward to figure out at first, but +all-in-all, the configuration isn't actually that complicated, so you should be +able to set it up in no time. + + + +- [Aerc Integration](#aerc-integration) +- [Naive Approach](#naive-approach) +- [Helix Workspace](#helix-workspace) +- [Markdown Highlighting](#markdown-highlighting) +- [Spellcheck](#spellcheck) +- [Formatting](#formatting) +- [Conclusion](#conclusion) + + + +## Aerc Integration + +At the end of the day, an email is just a text file. An `.eml` file, to be +exact. So, you _could_ just open up a fresh buffer, manually type in your +headers, and go to town. When you're done, you can figure out _some_ way to +actually send that file (perhaps dragging and dropping it into your mail +client). + +However, that's not really ideal. For starters, emails have a **lot** of +headers, and if you mess any of them up, your message might not get delivered. +You probably want to be able to, at the very least, **reply** to an email and +have its headers be auto-filled. + +Therefore, some level of integration with an actual email client is desirable. +Let the client handle every _other_ aspect of reading and sending email, and +relegate **writing** to Helix. This is the approach I'll be covering. + +## Naive Approach + +The simplest approach should work with zero configuration. `aerc` uses your +`$EDITOR` to compose your emails by default; so you can get started using Helix +right away! However, this is missing two important features: **spellchecking** +and **formatting**. To that end, we have to figure out how to get Helix to load +a custom configuration for emails. + +## Helix Workspace + +As you may know, Helix gives you an option to specify _per-project_ +configuration. This requires creating a `.helix` directory in the root of your +project, and filling it with `config.toml` and `languages.toml` files that +override your default config. _However_, there isn't currently a way to specify +_filetype-specific_ options; this is where we have to get creative. + +I recommend creating a folder inside your `aerc` config called `helix-config`. +Its name doesn't actually matter, so you can call it whatever you want! This +directory will serve as our _workspace_. The basic idea is to have `aerc` open +email files with this directory set as the current working directory — which is +what induces Helix to load the workspace config. + +Inside our new workspace, let's create the `.helix` directory and populate +`config.toml` with our preferences: + +```toml +[editor] +text-width = 74 +[editor.soft-wrap] +enable = true +wrap-at-text-width = true +``` + +The final step is the simplest. First, create a shell script inside +`helix-config`: + +```bash +#!/bin/sh + +cd ~/.config/aerc/helix-config && hx "$@" +``` + +This will serve as our "email entry point". It simply sets the CWD to our new +workspace, then loads Helix normally. Then, you'll need to set the `editor` +option in `aerc.conf`: + +```ini +[compose] +editor=/home/yourUserName/.config/aerc/helix-config/hx.sh +``` + +Unfortunately, you have to provide an absolute path, otherwise `aerc` won't find +the script. + +## Markdown Highlighting + +When writing plain-text emails, I like to use Markdown markup. Consider the +following message: + +``` +Dear John, + +Thanks for sharing! I _seriously_ appreciate your help. + +To proceed, we'll need to do: + +- Thing A +- Thing B +``` + +Even though the recipient will receive this email in un-rendered plain text +format, the _semantics_ are still very clear. Of course, we don't _need_ +highlighting in our editor to write markdown, but it can help make the +experience a bit better. + +All you need to do is create a `.helix/languages.toml` file inside our email +workspace from before: + +```toml +[[language]] +name = "markdown" +file-types = [{ glob = "/tmp/aerc-compose-*.eml" }] +``` + +Take note of the `file-types` entry. Email compose files opened by `aerc` will +always match the `/tmp/aerc-compose-*.eml` pattern. The above snippet ensures +that emails will be treated as Markdown files by Helix. The reason I recommend +putting this in your _workspace_ config and not setting it globally is to avoid +complications if you ever find yourself needing to edit a regular `.eml` file +_outside_ of `aerc`. + +## Spellcheck + +The excellent [harper](https://github.com/Automattic/harper) LSP supports +Markdown out-of-the-box. You can follow the instructions in its documentation to +install and configure it for Helix. Then, you can add it to your workspace +`languages.toml`: + +```toml +language-servers = ["harper-ls"] +``` + +## Formatting + +Many plain-text email clients _don't_ automatically wrap lines for readers. A +soft-wrapped email may look completely fine on your end, but be totally +unreadable for your recipient. Therefore, we need a way to _hard-wrap_ our +emails before sending them. This ended up being a much bigger challenge than I +thought it would. + +My first approach was to use the nifty `wrap` filter that `aerc` ships with by +adding it to `languages.toml`: + +```toml +formatter = { command = "/usr/lib/aerc/filters/wrap", args = ["-w", "74"] } +``` + +This worked _okay_, but it totally broke the markup at times. Crucially, it +doesn't respect code blocks or verbatim sections denoted by backticks. If you're +participating in technical mailing lists, you definitely want these to be +preserved. + +Using a regular Markdown formatter introduced another problem: Markup was +preserved, but not in an email-friendly way. Consider this example: + +``` +How's it going? + +Best, +Daniel +``` + +A standard Markdown formatter ignores single line breaks and produces this +output: + +``` +How's it going? + +Best, Daniel +``` + +It similarly mangles signature blocks: + +``` +-- +Daniel +Programmer +email@address.com +``` + +Becomes: + +``` +-- Daniel Programmer email@address.com +``` + +Eventually, I realized that I'd have to write my **own** formatter. I wrote a +Python script that hard-wraps the input, automatically reflows paragraphs, and +squashes consecutive paragraph breaks — while preserving the following: + +- Any long sequence not broken by spaces. +- Quoted lines (`>` prefixed email quotes). +- Indented lines. +- Markdown lists. +- Markdown code blocks. +- Signature blocks at end of file. +- Sign-offs. + +Sign-offs are preserved by following a simple heuristic. A two-line sequence is +considered to be a signoff if: + +- It starts with 1-5 words ending with a comma, followed by +- 1-5 words that each start with capital letters. + +This covers signoffs like these: + +``` +Best, +Daniel + +Yours truly, +John Alfred Smith +``` + +I provide a number of flags and options, so you can configure the formatter to +your liking. If you want to use it, `format.py` is available in my +[mail-utils](https://git.sr.ht/~ficd/mail-utils) repository on sourcehut. To add +it to your mail workspace just requires changing one line in `languages.toml`: + +```toml +formatter = { command = "/path/to/format.py" } +auto-format = true +``` + +## Conclusion + +Hopefully, this guide was helpful in getting you set up with composing your +emails in Helix.

It automatically hard-wraps lines +while preserving certain markup elements, code blocks, sign-offs, and signature +blocks. For more details, check the formatting section of my post on +[Helix](/blog/email/helix#formatting). + +I find that setting `>` as the `comment_line` token is convenient for working +with quotes in replies. + +The `try autospell-enable` enables my +[kak-autospell](https://git.sr.ht/~ficd/kak-autospell) plugin for the buffer. +Essentially, it provides spellchecking that's continuously refreshed and hidden +in insert mode. + +The remaining commands configure auto-formatting on save. I always prefer having +this on so I never forget to format my message before sending it. + +## Reader Setup + +I find that using Kakoune to **read** emails is helpful because of how easy it +is to copy quotes, open links, etc. Configuring this is a tad hackier, however. +The basic idea is to set Kakoune as the viewer `pager` in `aerc.conf`. + +However, all this does is pipe the email to `kak` through standard input, so we +need to tell the editor to treat it like an email: + +```ini +[viewer] +pager=kak -e 'set buffer filetype mail' +``` + +When you're using Kakoune as a pager, you'll probably want to configure some +things differently. In my case, I like to set the buffer as `readonly`, remove +the `number-lines` and `show-whitespaces` highlighters, disable soft-wrap & my +scrolloff settings, and _not_ set any formatters. + +The `pager` command above sets the filetype, but we need to distinguish between +_composing_ and _reading_ in our Kakoune hook. When Kakoune is opened with input +through standard input, it loads a buffer that's conveniently named `*stdin*`. +Thus, we can check the buffer name before continuing. + +If we're in "reading mode", we define a hidden command called `ismailreader` +which doesn't do anything. Why? If the command is defined, and we try to invoke +it... well, nothing happens! But if it's **not** defined, we get an error +instead. We can combine this with the `try` command to for some simple boolean +logic. + +```kak +evaluate-commands %sh{ + # stdin, we assume it's a pager + if [ "$kak_bufname" = "*stdin*" ]; then + echo 'define-command -hidden ismailreader nop' + fi +} +try %{ + ismailreader + # do reader config here +} catch %{ + # do composer config here +} +``` + +I set the following configuration for "reader mode": + +```kak +set buffer readonly true +try %{ + remove-highlighter window/number-lines + remove-highlighter window/show-whitespaces + # custom commands defined elsewhere in my kakrc + ui-wrap-disable + ui-scrolloff-disable +} +``` + +## Final Configuration + +To recap, you'll want to set this in `aerc.conf`: + +```ini +[viewer] +pager=kak -e 'set buffer filetype mail' + +# ... + +[compose] +editor=kak +``` + +And the following in your `kakrc`: + +```kak +hook global WinSetOption filetype=mail %~ + evaluate-commands %sh{ + # stdin, we assume it's a pager + if [ "$kak_bufname" = "*stdin*" ]; then + echo 'define-command -hidden ismailreader nop' + fi + } + try %{ + # READER MODE setup + ismailreader + set buffer readonly true + try %{ + # remove these highlighters so everything displays properly + remove-highlighter window/number-lines + remove-highlighter window/show-whitespaces + ui-wrap-disable + ui-scrolloff-disable + } + } catch %{ + # WRITER MODE setup + set-option window formatcmd '/home/fic/dev/utils/mail-utils/format.py' + set-option window comment_line '>' + try autospell-enable + hook -group mail-auto-format window BufWritePre .* format + hook -once -always window WinSetOption filetype=.* %{ + unset-option window formatcmd + remove-hooks window mail-auto-format + } + } +~ +``` diff --git a/content/blog/index.md b/content/blog/index.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..cc9e9d6 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/blog/index.md @@ -0,0 +1,10 @@ +--- +title: Blog Posts +template: post_list +post: false +--- + +Here, you can find my musings on various technology topics.

I prefer the minimal, no-frills interface, and I +really like that you can have multiple repositories, mailing lists, and issue +trackers grouped under the same project. The email-centric workflow is also +appealing to me. + +However, the fact remains that a strong presence on GitHub is very important. If +you're a student hoping to land a programming job, you need to keep those commit +stats up. Many tools, such as [Yazi](https://yazi-rs.github.io/)'s package +manager, only support GitHub repositories. However, I don't _like_ GitHub, +that's the whole reason I switched! + +I finally decided to give automatically mirroring my repositories a shot. While +it was a bit of work to set up, it's worth it in the end. In this post, I'll +guide you through the process. + +## SSH and Sourcehut Secrets + +The first step is to give `builds.sr.ht` push access to your GitHub repositories +via `ssh`. Begin by generating an `ssh` key pair: + +```bash +ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/gh_mirror_id -N "" +``` + +You'll want to add the _public_ key to your GitHub account. Navigate to +**Settings** → **SSH and GPG keys**, click the big green button, and paste the +contents of `gh_mirror_id.pub`. Make sure its key type is "Authentication Key", +and give it a helpful name like `sr.ht builds`. + +Next, you need to upload the _private_ key to Sourcehut. Visit +[builds.sr.ht/secrets](https://builds.sr.ht/secrets), name it something +memorable, and paste `gh_mirror_id` into the big box labeled "Secret". Take care +to tick the **Secret Type** → **SSH Key** menu option before hitting the blue +"Add" button. + +Keep this page open, because you'll need the secret's UUID later. + +## Build Manifest + +The basic idea is as follows: whenever you push to your chosen `sr.ht` +repositories, it should automatically be pushed to GitHub with the `--mirror` +flag. Sourcehut has an automated build system that's up for the task. _(Note: +you need a paid account to use it.)_ + +For any repository you want to mirror, you'll need to add a file called +`.build.yml` to the root. This file will look familiar if you've worked with +GitHub actions before. Then, you set up the environment, import the `ssh` key +from earlier, and add a task for pushing the repository as if you were doing it +from the command line. Finally, make sure you've created an empty GitHub +repository ahead of time — otherwise, the build will fail! + +```yaml +image: alpine/latest +packages: + - git + - openssh +secrets: + - SECRET_UUID_HERE +environment: + # in case the repos have different names + srht_repo: repo-name-on-srht + github_repo: repo-name-on-gh + github: git@github.com:yourusername +tasks: + # ssh-keyscan is required, command fails otherwise! + - mirror: | + ssh-keyscan github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts + cd "$srht_repo" + git remote add github "$github/$github_repo.git" + git push --mirror github +``` + +And that's it! Anytime you push to a branch that has this build manifest in it, +your GitHub mirror is updated. + +## Readme Wrangling + +Since all you're doing is _mirroring_, you can't have a different readme on +GitHub. There's a few things I recommend doing so folks viewing your repository +on GitHub don't get confused. You can mention the mirror in the "About" section, +and include a link to your `sr.ht` repo: + +![](/static/images/gh_about.png) + +I also recommend prominently displaying links to your bug tracker and mailing +list, if applicable to your project. Finally, make sure there's an early link to +the `sr.ht` project page. You could also explicitly mention that the project +lives on sourcehut and is mirrored on GitHub, but this may be overkill. Consider +this example from my Ashen project README: + +`ex_start` + +This monorepository contains official implementations of Ashen across a range of +editors, terminals, tools, and more — each carefully tuned to carry the same +muted warmth. The project lives on [sourcehut](https://sr.ht/~ficd/ashen/) and +is mirrored on [GitHub](https://github.com/ficcdaf/ashen). To report issues or +make requests, visit the [ticket tracker](https://todo.sr.ht/~ficd/ashen) or +contact the [mailing list](https://lists.sr.ht/~ficd/ashen) (_possibly by +carrier pigeon_.) + +`ex_end` + +## Happy Hacking! + +Now, you should be able to comfortably use `sr.ht` to host your projects without +sacrificing the ubiquity of GitHub.

The electric highways are, in no small part, dominated by social +media platforms. The internet is the perfect technology for sharing ourselves +with others, and social media makes this easy.

I'm here to tell +you that **the internet doesn't have to be this way**. + +## Websites + +Today, we think of websites as _platforms_: storefronts, news, town squares, +encyclopedias. Something maintained by companies and organizations providing a +service. The space for _us_ to share _ourselves_, it seems, is on someone else's +website. What format you can post in, how your profile looks; you're at the +mercy of the service provider. So, why don't we just make our own websites? + +A website is actually remarkably simple. Sure, **web development** isn't; it's +been increasing in complexity and bloat by the year. But a _website_ is _just_ a +document that's hosted at some address. Visitors _download_ the document, and +their browser _renders_ it. That's how you're reading this page, even. + +Websites don't **need** functionality. They don't need fancy graphics and +buttons. They literally **only** need text. Everything else is fluff -- great +fluff, my own site has images and a theme -- but fluff nonetheless.

Think about it: when all you want to do is +talk to someone, are you sending them an email? When's the last time you emailed +a friend or loved one "What's up? How's it going?" + +Email has been relegated, essentially, to administrative tasks. Emails are +something you _have_ to send. They carry an air of officiality. Definitely not +the way to contact your friends. + +Why is that? + +## Web Mail Sucks + +I think our _experience_ of writing email takes a large chunk of the blame. To +be honest, it's pretty dreadful most of the time, thanks in no small part due to +the _God-awful_ interfaces through which we interact with emails. + +Web mail interfaces _suck_. You log into Gmail just to see that every fifth +letter in your inbox is actually an ad. I'm not talking promotional mail, I'm +talking a literal ad, served to you by Google, masquerading as a real message. + +And tell me why Outlook needs to make hundreds of JavaScript requests, and cache +a hundred megabytes of data just to show my inbox? If I'm using my laptop on the +school network, chances are, I'll be sitting there for at least ten seconds +before I can even see whether I've got any new messages. + +Oh, and I don't know about you, but since I spent most of the day using my +computer, I like to do whatever I can to prolong my ability to, like, use my +eyes. A big part of that means using dark mode wherever possible, as God +intended. Which brings me to my next point: dark mode in most web mail clients +isn't great. + +For instance, Proton Mail provides a lovely dark interface for your inbox, just +to burn your retinas off the moment you start composing a message or reading a +new email. This is one area I must be fair to Outlook, however, which provides +one of the nicest dark interfaces I've used. + +![](/static/images/email_1.png) + +For quite a few reasons, including those stated above, and of course wanting to +use my own text editor to write my letters, I finally decided it was time to +figure out a better way to interact with email. And as it turns out, there +really is one! + +## Email In The Terminal? + +If you know me at all, you know I'm a **fiend** for the terminal. If a given +task is even _possible_ to do in a command-line (or TUI) interface, then that's +the way I'll be doing it from now on until my hands my fall off my wrists. Call +it a neurodivergent stubbornness, but it's just the only way I really like to +interact with my computer. + +It also happens that Helix, my text editor of choice, also runs in the terminal. +Anytime I'd have to draft an email longer than a few sentences, I'd start to +feel the withdrawal. Maybe Helix has really spoiled me, but the experience of +manipulating text in this beautiful program is too good to **not** incorporate +into every aspect of my life that involves writing. I'm already writing my +papers and slideshows in Helix (_more on that in a future post_), so why not +email? + +First, I figured out using Thunderbird. Although it has many problems (like, +tell me how there _still_ isn't tray support for Linux?!) using Thunderbird was +otherwise a "solid" experience. Sure, Thunderbird is a GUI app, _but_ I wasted +no time in finding a pipeline for writing emails in my beloved Helix. + +The extension "External Editor Revived" does exactly what it sounds like. Using +it, I was able to open up email files for editing in Helix, then pipe them back +to Thunderbird for review and sending. I was happy with this setup for a while +despite its problems. + +But as it turns out, an even nerdier way was just around the corner... + +## Enter Aerc + +I forget where I first heard about `aerc`, but I'm really glad that I did! It's +a lovely little TUI email client maintained by the good people at Source Hut. It +features a vim-like ex-command setup and controls. The controls are also 100% +remappable, which makes my Colemak brain happy. + +My favorite part, though, is the composing interface. It's really clever: the +top of the screen holds the standard headers you expect to see like From, To, +and the Subject, but the part where you write the body of your letter is +actually a tmux-style embedded terminal running your favorite `$EDITOR`! + +![](/static/images/email_2.png) + +Of course, there were quite a few hiccups in getting Helix to play along; +namely, spellchecking, Markdown syntax highlighting and automatic text-wrap was +a challenge. If you're interested in the details, I'll later be publishing a +tutorial outlining step-by-step how to replicate my Helix-mail setup. + +### Authentication Problems + +If you're going to use an email client, you need to authenticate with your email +provider. For Proton Mail, this was easy enough; the Bridge app interfaces with +your encrypted inbox, and exposes IMAP and SMTP services locally. Outlook, on +the other hand (especially a school/corporate policy) is a **hassle**. + +Without getting too deep into it, it was more than one day of headache before I +managed to get it working. The solution involved finding (and modifying) a +Python script to authenticate and save my initial refresh token, as well as +manage requesting new access tokens when they expire. I also had to gaslight +Microsoft into thinking I was actually using Thunderbird (by pulling the +`client_id` straight from the Mozilla source code). + +## Organizing Email + +My inbox has _always_ been disorganized. Frankly, I don't know a single person +whose inbox isn't. And it's understandable! The tools at our disposal aren't +particularly helpful, and most importantly, **they're not standardized.** For +example, we could create various folders, moving the appropriate emails as we +read them. Some _(emph: some)_ providers let you automate this, but I've found +the filter rules to be a bit lacking. Organizing by folders also inherently +limits your ability to later filter and narrow down your searches. + +Tags are clearly the best way, but again, the implementation depends +per-provider. Worst of all, as with most things these days, non-standard +implementations mean that as soon as you've put all your eggs in the basket, +you're essentially locked in; unless you want to go to the _colossal_ hassle of +re-organizing your inbox playing by _another_ provider's rules. + +## Storing Email Locally + +As it turns out, `aerc` (and other mail clients like it), besides the standard +ability to read mail from an IMAP server, has another trick up its sleeve. That +trick is reading mail from a _local database_. Now, this might not seem like a +big deal. Thunderbird does this too: when you access your inbox via IMAP, +Thunderbird downloads and caches all of your emails. + +What I never knew, and it took messing around with `aerc` to learn about, is +that there exist multiple _standardized_ ways to store emails locally. What this +means is that as long as you synchronize your emails to this local store, you +can access them from **any** client! + +I chose to go with a tool called `mbsync`, which stores mail in the standard +"maildir" format, and keeps it in sync with an IMAP server. The syncing only +happens when you trigger it manually -- although you can easily configure +another program to "listen" for new emails and sync automatically. I decided to +forego this, more on why later. + +## Complex Tagging + +The best part is that once you've got this email database, you can pick from a +host of tools and systems for indexing and organizing it. I went with a tool +called `notmuch`, a program that's very popular among programmers much older and +more bearded than I am. `notmuch` _indexes_ your maildir and basically acts as a +query engine. I found the experience of using it similar to, say, SQL. The basic +premise is that you write queries about your emails. + +```sh +# Here's me searching for emails about GitHub authorization +notmuch search 'from:/@.*github.*/ subject:/auth\w*/' +``` + +You can also apply an arbitrary string to an email as a **tag**. Tags are more +powerful than **flags**, which are IMAP compliant, but limited to only a few +specific roles. `notmuch` allows you to create and use as many different tags as +you want! + +```sh +# Here's me applying the "personal" tag to +notmuch tag +personal -- 'path:personal/**' +``` + +But the real juice is configuring rules that will automatically tag your new +emails. Then, not only can you filter/query your mail by tag, but when you open +your mailbox in `aerc`, you can configure queries as "folders" for easy, +repeated viewing. Nice! + +## The Synchronization Problem + +I spent a lot of time on tagging. Figuring out the rules and automatic filters, +fine-tuning my queries, etc. When I finally had it all figured out, I +encountered the next problem, which (I guess) I could've foreseen: **the +`notmuch` database is local**! And as it turns out, synchronizing its database +between devices (home PC and laptop in my case) is **not** a trivial task. + +I first tried a tool called [muchsync](https://www.muchsync.org/). It's a clever +piece of software, with one big problem: it's designed around one database that +acts as a central server, which _other_ databases replicate. This turned out to +not be particularly reliable for my case, because thanks to the aforementioned +[authentication hacks](#authentication-problems), I can only **reliably** +synchronize my mail if I'm actually at the computer to re-authenticate when +necessary. Trying to wrangle the authentication and GPG-encrypted tokens via +`ssh` was starting to feel like more trouble than it was worth. + +My next idea was to use SyncThing to just keep the entire local database +synchronized, peer-to-peer style. I figured that as long as I only ran `mbsync` +manually (for the external IMAP sync) and only accessed/edited my mail from one +device at a time, I wouldn't have any conflicts. + +That was, apparently, an incorrect assumption. I was basically faced with a +conflict every single time I updated some tags or deleted a few emails. Because +of how `mbsync` is written, it was basically impossible to recover from these +broken database states. After multiple instances of needing to re-download my +entire inbox, I decided it was time to cut my losses, and `notmuch` +`pacman -Rns`'d out of my life almost as quickly as it `-Syu`'d into it. + +## JMAP Is Amazing + +For reasons I'll get into in another post, at this point, I was also completely +fed up with Proton Mail, and on the hunt for a new provider. I'd heard good +things about Fastmail, and after seeing that they implemented a new protocol +called JMAP, I decided to try it out. + +> Note: I was actually so pleased with Fastmail that my free trial went paid +> subscriber in less than a day. Take that, Proton! + +JMAP has **labels**, which are similar enough to `notmuch` tags. But because +they're supported by the protocol itself, they're hosted by the mail server +itself, meaning you can completely sidestep the synchronization hassle. Not only +that, but they're also a first-class citizen in Fastmail's web interface (which +is one of the best I've ever used). + +A **label** is basically analogous to a folder. If an email has a certain label, +it's basically in that folder. If it has multiple, it's like multiple folders +symlink to the same message. What's cool about this system is that you can move +and "copy" your mail around without actually creating redundant copies of +emails. + +With this approach, you don't even need to maintain an archive folder. Any mail +that doesn't have the Inbox label is considered archived. This means you can +archive messages while still retaining their other labels. Very useful for +things like digital receipts and automated messages from `noreply` addresses. diff --git a/content/blog/the-lovecraftian-internet.md b/content/blog/the-lovecraftian-internet.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..9836f32 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/blog/the-lovecraftian-internet.md @@ -0,0 +1,64 @@ +--- +title: The Lovecraftian Internet +date: 2025-04-05 +--- + +# The Lovecraftian Internet + +The web we know is spun by gluttonous spiders no longer satiated by flies and +roaches.
