The joys of self hosting. Got a call about a #mailbounce, realised that the #DominExpired because the credit card had expired. Why no alert? The mail account the alert was sent to had been decommissioned years ago #cruft
Now I get to play #mailcatchup as the rest of the #interwebs #DNS #caches refresh

SpdLog seems nice. Replaced log4cpp with that in a non trivial application. It looked like log4cpp has been more or less abandoned. Lots of fun to modernize this thing which hasn’t been touched since 2016. All kinds of pretty weird dependencies also makes it interesting. But logging is sorted out now. Also moving from boost:: to std:: for things that have been moved there over the years. Maybe it’s also time to upgrade the used C++ standard from C++11 to something newer.

I'm imagining a new form of #ASMR videos, where an #EU citizen installs #Windows without all the #cruft.

A minor, but important point:

After you have finished the working, make sure to thank the sapients involved, and, completely close the working down.

If you think that #cruft in computers was bad, wait till you deal with the backwash from magickal workings... :D

It's the things that therapy bills are made from, if you're lucky. :D
