@astronomerritt I know someone called ‘Jim Slaine’ - Jim is not overly cool, but the 2 names together sound like a cowboy from a classic western.
@DrChris Oooh, I can definitely hear that being snarled by some dodgy tobacco-chewing type as Jim himself strides into the saloon.

guys, what’s the coolest first name you’ve ever seen or heard in person? doesn’t have to be a name you’d give your own kid, just something that made you go “damn, what a cool name”.
I ask because one of my nephew’s besties is called Endeavour and that is a COOL name.
(his mates call him Noun, which is hilarious)
Nigerians have the best first names and it's not close. I knew a guy called Truth.
Like, lots of languages have names which translate as "Truth", but using the word itself is just far more interesting.

@passenger I don't disagree. And "Truth" is an AMAZING name.

@hedders Oh dear. Bless their little hearts. I do think a lot of these virtue names are a lot to saddle a child with. What if Unique wants to be basic?
@astronomerritt heh. Yeah. It’s like that Pratchett joke about how Bestiality Carter got his name.

@hedders Exactly!

@emma_cogdev I think a lot of the non-binary names are blunter and less "pretty", if that makes sense? There seems to be more of a willingness to name yourself after something that maybe isn't conventionally or universally pleasing.
I also met a Winter recently! Also non-binary, and an extremely cool person.
Yes, I think you're right! I think that's why I like them.

@astronomerritt were his parents Morse fans?
My friend has a kid called Onyx. I just think it's lovely, and somehow much nicer than more traditional gem stone names like Ruby or Crystal. -

@astronomerritt I went to an international school so I am not surprised at any name. I guess Sheba maybe.
-
@astronomerritt They really should just call him Morse.
@sar @astronomerritt Morse hated it
-
@futurebird @astronomerritt his parents really hate computers, huh?

Onyx is FABULOUS. I love gemstone names anyway, but Onyx is especially cool.

@missmelanieh Sheba is pretty great!
I guess I was more asking for names people personally thought were very cool: these are always going to be objective. Like, some people might find an Irish name like Saoirse cool, and that would be valid for them, but I know loads of 'em. 😆

@astronomerritt I like southern European names in general. Maybe it is the whole Latinos being sexy trope though.

@astronomerritt tenuous link
I met a financial advisor one time in Cheltenham in the 1990s who had changed his name to Sydney Harbour-Bridge.

@astronomerritt My grand-niece is named Lexi, which is inherently cool because it's got an X in it. 😎 And that's her actual name on her birth certificate, not a diminutive of Alexis, or Alexandra or anything like that.

I appreciate your perspective on accessibility in tech. You're right that the industry often overlooks beginners, and I'm glad solutions like Mail-in-a-Box and Mailcow exist for those who need them.
That said, not every resource needs to serve every audience. This article was specifically written as a technical deep-dive for people who want to understand the underlying mechanics, whether they're learning system administration, troubleshooting issues those one-click solutions abstract away, or making informed decisions about their mail infrastructure.
There's room for both approaches: turnkey solutions for those who need email working quickly, and detailed technical guides for those building expertise.
Different resources serve different needs, and that's okay. The "normies" you mention aren't stupid at all, they're smart enough to choose the right tool for their needs, which often isn't a manual FreeBSD setup, and that's perfectly valid.

@gooba42 @ailurocrat @Larvitz The problem with engineering is it's a specialised field and everything is built with engineers in mind, with normies as afterthoughts.
Same applies to anything else.. law, cooking, building etc.

@elCelio Define the willingness of a whole country...
I'm afraid there's some corelation between being a trump-fanboy and being a football fan.

Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong, Dream A Little Dream Of Me, 1950
Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you”
Birds singing in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me ... https://cctm.website/ella-fitzgerald-louis-armstrong/#ellafitzgerald #louisarmstrong #music #fediradio #cctmwebsite
