The lesson was that sometimes the interviewee can be more competent than the interviewer and they should run.

What also contributes to this, is that there are new (Chinese) players on the market that offer incredible value for audiophiles. Brands like Topping, Fosi Audio and SMSL completely outperform the incumbent brands.

@aequitas, Hi Johan, nice surpise! After wondering why I couldn't get enough of the movie Office Space, I quit the tech industry completely. Never felt better.

You got assigned a different outgoing server/PoP.

Update @12:16UTC: This seems fixed now! The 57.103.74.0/24 block now had PTR records.

Be glad you receive a report. Apple just silently drops the email.

Not only does Apple frown upon that, they just silently drop emails that are sent from a server without PTR records. Yes, that includes their own servers. Yes, sending email from iCloud to iCloud is silently dropped if they decide you get assigned an outgoing server without PTR. The absolute amateurism just blows my mind.

So, Apple sends the wrong EHLO domain when trying to send emails out. This results in them dropping emails to their own users. Can't get past Apple's level 1 support. How can I get to someone that maintains their SMTP k8s cluster?

There are always ulterior motives and I've seen personal and strategic being the most frequent ones.

For automating TRV’s, I use Better Thermostat. It allows one to use external temperature sensors to offset the TRV temperature. https://better-thermostat.org/

This would make sense as a Mealie extension. You have a content (recipe) bootstrapping issue.

Sortimo T-Boxx (or similar). I have rack with a stack of 12 of them labeled by component type.

The nice things about these is that you can see what is inside them before you have to open them.

I love to grab a few of them (eg: 'Soldering', 'MCU's', 'Resistors'), bring them to my workbench and start doing stuff while the components stay neatly sorted within the organizer instead of spreading around my bench. When done, close the lid, shove them back in the rack and I'm done.

Lots of features mentioned there, I wonder how many of those will be ready on launch day and what will be delivered later.

It has a small piezo buzzer, and you can use it to play RTTTL sounds. https://blueforcer.github.io/awtrix3/#/sounds

I have to warn that it sounds like hot garbage though. The neat thing with ESP32 devices is that you can make it sound okay using its built in 8-bit DACs, or great using I²S.

Speaking of hardware hacking; you can also get POE/LAN adaptors for the ESP32, if you have free hardware pins left for it.

Maintaining sender reputation is tough and I don't think anyone in their right mind should try this in house. If you're not a M3AAWG member, you'll probably hit a brick wall when trying to explain to Google why your whole IPV4 block is erroneously on a blocklist.

I have done all this using ESPHome. There a quite some control loop components you can utilize for this, such as bang-bang and pid thermostat.
