I recently started playing with Porkbun on the idea of moving borg.org 
over because I don't trust godaddy…so this caught my eye. And the first 
explanation I searched up of DKIM records was from Cloudflare, was not 
immediately simple, and then directed me to a wizard—which isn't going 
work if I'm not a Cloudflare customer so I thought: "I know! I'll search 
for Digital Ocean's explanation, they always have good explanations!"

Eh, then I remembered: Digital Ocean doesn't think individuals should be 
allowed to run their own e-mail servers. Bastards.


-kb, the Kent with more study ahead of him.
