I love this feature - you can now get MetaRuby to act as a mailing list :003: where every post is emailed to you and you can reply to posts via email! Just go to your preferences and tick the box that says ‘Send me an …

Apologies if you are! The Docker container that MetaRuby is in keeps losing connection to the internet, requiring Docker to be restarted. I’ve posted an issue so hopefully the Docker guys will help sort it out soon. If…
