@benfulton @bloomington_in Smith Road had a user who commuted to work in a power chair. After it was brought to his attention that they were using the road for lack of curb cuts, the city came and added all the curb cuts along the route.

@benfulton @bloomington_in In the Sidewalk Equity Audit, I found the city had been steadily and relentlessly retrofitting more ADA curb cuts over time. Something 500 in the period reviewed. And all new construction ADA compliant as well.

@FartsWithAnAccent I saw a split bike seat a decade ago. Rider said it was very comfortable. Maybe this variant is different because it tilts too. 🤷

@chronicallydave @bloomington_in Indiana University responded to peaceful campus protest with state riot police, sniper on the roof, helicopter overhead.

To justify arrests, a new rule had been passed overnight to ban tents in what for decades had been a free speech zone.

@vegetaaaaaaa

After testing ssmtp, nullmailer, and msmtp for relay-only outgoing mail on Fedora #Linux. Here's my final report:

- ssmtp is packaged for Fedora and I got it working, but the Ansible role I found for it had been abandoned by the author because ssmtp itself is unmaintained.
- nullmailer might have worked, but is not packaged for Fedora.
- msmtp worked. I used this Ansible role, after patching it to work on Fedora: https://github.com/chriswayg/ansible-msmtp-mailer

ssmtp is unmaintained.

msmtp is the recommended successor. The Arch wiki recommends also considering OpenSMTPD, which I haven't looked at yet.

@chronicallydave @bloomington_in I needed to call #GigabitNow for tech support and didn't even need to use the Shibboleth protocol to get good service. https://xkcd.com/806/

@benfulton @bloomington_in The crash data supports this remediation.

@intensely_human It was a weird option to include in the survey anyway, along with giant sports arena.
