I was interviewed in this week’s Club MacStories newsletter about Unread 2 and my vision for Unread’s future. Check it out if you are a Club MacStories member.

TIL: Stress dreams can have sequels.

I released an update to Unread that adds full trackpad and mouse support, new keyboard shortcuts, and several other improvements.

Last night I participated in an adult spelling bee via Zoom (running from a macOS volume dedicated to Zoom and without access to my data). Apparently liaison has two i’s.

It looks like I cannot avoid Zoom, so I created a dedicated APFS volume and macOS installation for it.

This is an interesting new Inoreader feature. Convert Almost Any Webpage Into RSS Feed With Inoreader’s Web Feeds

My Primary Vote

I vote in the primary tomorrow. I decided to vote for Elizabeth Warren. Since I do not have a registered party affiliation I can vote in either the Democratic or Republican primary.

Safari Rejecting Long-Lived HTTPS Certificates

The most recent episode of ATP has a good discussion regarding browsers rejecting certificates with lifetimes longer than 13 months. In the late 90’s and for the first few years of this millennium I ran my own mail server, mostly as a hobby. When I started doing this it was easy and fun, but it …
