I think there’s a misconception about us i3 users.

Went on a nice walk for the first time in a long while and went to the Brandwacht dam that supplies water to the Worcester golf course.

A quick recap on Project Butterfly In case you forgot Butterfly is my project that aims to create a more uniform and compact email protocol as compared to what we have today with the SMTP and IMAP/POP stack.

The backstory So we have a pretty good relationship with our ISP and no I mean it, I don't derive some sort of masochistic pleasure from it - they're a good ISP for the most part (our package with them ain't too good but I mean ya know it's what we bought…

I’d like to take this time to introduce you to the first pre-release of the skoenlapper butterfly mail client that has been released!

Introduction I spent the end of the year (the last few months) working on my GTK DNET client and I thought I shoould share a progress update on how that has gone so far.

I’d like to take this time to introduce you to the first pre-release of the butterfly mail server.

Fresh cut for a fresh dude Some photos of my fresh cut, basically just a trim mate.

TODO: Fix date Introduction If you have seen any of my previous blog posts about the networking equipment I have acquired and later used in my subsequent blogs for different parts of my networking projects or home labbing experiments then you would know t…

Reason for a case DSo I could have easily bought a case for the router of mine that I put together for the CRXN network node deavmi.crxn.banghoe but we (Gustav and I) decided we could re-purpose the existing power supply I had laying around.

What is a “CRXN”?

A little timing bug that went a long way This won’t be a long blog post but I think it’s such a good one in how one little ordering can have a huge impact in terms of the bug it caused.

Introduction I’ve had a lot of free time on my hands during the statist lockdown of ‘20 and made good use of it as you’ve seen with Bester and Tristanable to name a few.

Continuing where we left… So BonoboNET is now growing and we have a few users (most albeit on a bridge) but some new native users I am convincing to join now are coming on - which is great!

Damn, it’s been a really busy last few months with this whole statist lockdown in South Africa.

Introduction So, you’ve probably seen the previous blog posts and now have seen that both sendClients and sendServers have been implemented.

Introduction I have another post still due with regards to Bester’s sendServers and sendHandler commands but because that will take some time to write up I decided I would make a progress update as the specification for those functions is not complete (it…

New things Adding multiple listeners Something I wanted to add badly and have as a nice little extra feature, not something that was inherent to the bester protocol itself, was to add support for IPv6 to the bester daemon.

So I have been giving some thought to the idea of starting my own blog which is not only cringe but also means I will never be a Chad because only Soy-boys write blogs.

Introduction I had enough time, during lockdown, to actually start on some of the ideas I had been wanting to start on for quite some time.
