I'm going to try Unexpected. The swipe for symbol reminds me of my favourite on-screen keyboard, Fitaly. Unfortunately, nobody ever made it available for modern smartphones.

Edit: The main thing I see missing is the option to swipe for uppercase. That may be possible in settings, but I didn't see it in a quick glance.

Thanks!

The Stalwart mail server allows for that. They call them "spam traps".

Basically, it's a real email address that literally never gets used or referenced anywhere, thus assuring any email received is unsolicited by definition. Stalwart's spam engine uses any such email to help train the spam filter.

I can't imagine that Stalwart is only one implementing such a system.

I've never used Stalwart, but it's the email server I've selected should I decide to do what everyone tells me I shouldn't: run my own server for me, my wife, and the two domains we control. Their documentation is basically a master class in email.

Oh, probably. I just hope it 30 years before my death. I'm 67. :)

Well, if you can tolerate Google, they actually offer this. If I don't interact with my accounts for 3 months, it will send the email I've composed to designated recipients.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure "Always Free" tier? I've got a couple of servers and haven't even scratched the surface of what I can do for free.

If ARM64 meets your use case, you can have up to 4 CPUs with up to 24(?) GB in any configuration. (ie, all on one server or spread across multiples). I have a 2x12 ARM64 and a 1x1 AMD64, both running Ubuntu.

Their service is divided into regions, so you can pick from a few locations in the US, 2 locations in Canada, and other locations around the world.

If you want to play with server stuff, OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) has some pretty generous "Always Free" stuff.

I'm running 2 servers and haven't even scratched the surface of what can be done for free.

Thanks!

It looks like I need a Windows machine (or VM or wine). Is that correct?

You had me at "BASIC"! I'm going to check it out.

I think that BASIC has historically been my most productive language. My favourite implementation was something called "Z-Basic", a compiled BASIC with device-independent graphics that could run on and target Apple//, Mac, and PC.

I'm basically a doofus when it comes to web. I had no trouble using Zola as the generator with Abridge and Terminimal as themes.

I started down the path of creating a gear library for Full Control, a 3D printing system. I got sidetracked by a couple of problems:

1. I'm apparently not smart enough to create something from scratch.

2. Existing libraries are either beyond my ability to use directly or, like OpenSCAD, generating fully realized models intended for traditional slicers.

I was hoping to be able to do a variety of gear types, but I think I'm going to have to be satisfied with just spur gears.

In any case, I've set it aside until next winter. Spring is coming, so I need to finish my website work before my other hobbies take over my life.

(Actually, Full Control might be better described as a 3D plotting system, since the Z axis is as continuously variable as the X and Y axes.)
