Steadily growing spam sent to my Inbox. Delivery issues I have not had those recently but 3 years or so ago my job offer letter was not received. I was kinda spooked after that.
OK, thanks. well, that is indeed quite unfortunate.. regarding things like lost job offers and the like.. Sad state of affairs, i mean e-mail in 2022. But, as an mail-service operator myself, i feel like i can understand, more or less, both sides dealing with the spam issue.
No Worries! The Google Server in Mountain View has had a disk failed in it's RAID and therefore the sqlite-DB has only half the iops to it's disposal. A new 500GB hard disk is already in dispatch with Amazon. These are the moments why Google is a proud Amazon Prime customer.
To be fair, this is not actually all that far off the truth. Do napkin math on how much storage you'd need to index say 25 billion documents, and you'll see it's not actually a lot. 25 billion bytes is 25 Gb. How many bytes do you need per document (for the index)? A kilobyte, maybe? If so that's 25 Tb. While certainly not something you can fit on a thumbdrive, it's hardly something you need a planetscale computer cluster to store.
You may need it for the IOPS of actually using it, but that's another thing entirely.
Tbh the source code of the whole internet would probably be a few PB at most, text is really cheap to store especially because it can be compressed. Images and videos are what makes the premise impossible because even with perfect compression you need an impossible amount of storage to store every video published by mankind.
Yeah but pages are HTML and HTML compresses extremely well. With the latest algorithms you could probably get as low as one byte per page. Probably even better with a decent middle-out compression algorithm.
(Also yes, you are correct within the realm of reality, but not within the realm of comedy.)
But i have to say: Personally, i don't run k8s and it's ecosystem and am just entering the whole "declarative world" with NixOS.. but nonetheless, these occasions are very rare, Google/YT Operations is just so impressive and has to be up there, if not a the very top.
Mutt can present a token inside IMAP/POP/SMTP, but by design mutt itself
does not know how to have a separate conversation (outside of IMAP/POP/SMTP)
with the server to authorize the user and obtain refresh and access tokens.
Mutt just needs an access token, and has a hook for an external script to
somehow obtain one.
mutt_oauth2.py is an example of such an external script. It likely can be
adapted to work with OAuth2 on many different cloud mail providers, and has
been tested against:
