I agree with points 1 and 2. I also think it's a reasonable idea for Mozilla to focus on Thunderbird the email client since there aren't a lot of great alternatives. However, when it comes to a hosted email service, there are plen

It's not just shady stuff. Recently, on a customer's Windows server, antivirus software randomly decided to permanently delete some our DLLs (!). We weren't doing anything remotely shady; it was a normal ASP.NET Core app.

Nice work! How do you pass complex objects between actors in Lunatic? Do you have to pass a byte array, or is there a more sophisticated approach where you don't have to serialize and deserialize each message?

What's the relationship between its data structures and CRDTs? The emphasis on patches makes me think this might be an operation-based CRDT.

Do you have a link for that? I've been listening to his Napoleon podcast and he seems left-leaning to me. They do talk about politics from time to time.
