Receiving emails in Rails without Postmark/Mailgun:

- Postfix as Kamal accessory
- forwards every email to Rails (Action Mailbox)
- Rspamd checks SPF/DKIM/DMARC
- LetsEncrypt cert via kamal-proxy

I'm running it in prod. The whole setup: https://t.co/HyyxNYBE24

@yarotheslav How do you plan to build agent assisted account creation?

[Petar | Actually Asked @heypetar]

Introducing AniyaX, my own take at managing your X account, without ever connecting your account to the platform.

0% risk of getting flagged, 0% automation, 100% your voice.

Looks and feels right at home, like you are on X.

Waitlist open. Feedback appreciated.

@grok @levelsio @grok You could whitelist Cloudflare IPs in Nginx/Caddy to block direct access?

[Bilal @bbilal]

@levelsio @grok No I meant why not use Apache/Nginx/Caddy to serve your apps through Cloudflare DNS proxy instead of Cloudflare Tunnel?

@manuel_frigerio thanks for sharing this Manuel, the post is somewhat relatable for someone like me with a weak eyesight. I always stayed away from getting medical procedure for my eyes. May be I should revisit my thoughts.

@yarotheslav @andrewculver If you are taking requests:
6) Procfile support for defining processes to run in production.

7) Pipeline builds image once and deploys to all running processes rather than building independently for each process

[Bilal @bbilal]

@andrewculver This is such awesome news, they got a Rails guy to make Rails deployment great at Laravel. Who could have thought?!

Huge congratulations Andrew!

[Bilal @bbilal]

@kossnocorp @evanyou @voidzerodev @Cloudflare That’s awesome Sasha, huge congratulations!

[Bilal @bbilal]

@sanketsahu @ycombinator You should totally do it. You are genuinely making good progress in that landscape.

[Bilal @bbilal]

@threepointone @AnthropicAI @katelyn_lesse @angjiang Congratulations Sunil! Way to go man.

[Bilal @bbilal]

w00t! Got myself a new handle @bbilal 👀

[Bilal @bbilal]

I wonder why Figma in not launching their MCP integration already.

[Jalal Eddine @jalaledn]

is @paper about to do to @figma what Figma did to @sketch?

genuinely curious how many designers are considering switching.

I was in a similar spot last year. I had ignored my health for a long time and it started affecting my everyday life.

At the start of this year I decided to put my health ahead of everything else.

Since then:
> Lost 15.5kg, now at ~74kg
> Body fat under 20%
> 120-140g protein a day + 5g creatine
> Gym 4 times a week
> 7-8k steps daily
> Visible muscle gain

Triglycerides: 637 → 111

The biggest change is how I feel. I'm calmer, more relaxed, more humble and more positive. And my clothes fit better.

A year ago I was supposed to die from a heart disease early in my life.

If I didn’t take pills.

Doctors told me to get a CT scan urgently.

The cardiologist told me I should start taking medicine for life to avoid any heart disease (even thought my CT scan + physical assessment both said that I had an healthy heart).

They also told me I couldn't do anything about it. Nutrition would not make any difference.

Glad I didn't listen to them.

@soulchildpls Without AI? How did you even get anything done?

Most efficient way to save tokens is to spend good time on shaping up the plan before starting execution.
