> On December 17, Juniper Networks issued an urgent security advisory about "unauthorized code" found within the operating system used by some of the company's NetScreen firewalls and Secure Service Gateway (SSG) appliances. The vulnerability, which may have been in place in some firewalls as far back as 2012 and which shipped with systems to customers until late 2013, allows an attacker to gain remote administrative access to systems with telnet or ssh access enabled.<!-- excerpt -->
This is exactly why creating back doors in to encryption is a really bad thing. We don't need [a 'Manhattan-like project'](http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/12/hillary-clinton-wants-manhattan-like-project-to-break-encryption/) to create more security holes like this one — if you create backdoors, even for legitimate purposes, you'll simply be increasing the likelihood that incidents like this will continue to happen.

2015 has been a genuinely fantastic year for music (both live and recorded). That's very much a personal assessment of the year but music is an inherently personal thing. There's been a number of albums released or that I've discovered that I see myself listening to for a long time to come and I've attended a number of shows that left a lasting impression on me (for good reasons and bad).<!-- excerpt -->

My wife and I saw EL VY play a beautifully rehearsed set at The Independent in front of what was, easily, the most obnoxious crowd we've been in (leave it to the other audience members from LA to earn that distinction). We saw our shared favorite band, The National, play a significant undersell for charity at The Troubadour in West Hollywood and we saw Sufjan Stevens perform a devastating rendition of _[Carrie and Lowell](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/carrie-lowell/id955572616?uo=4&app=itunes&at=11lvuD)_ in downtown.

I spent the year taking deep dives in to EL VY's _[Return to the Moon](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/return-to-the-moon/id1020818018?uo=4&app=itunes&at=11lvuD)_, Turnover's _[Peripheral Vision](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/peripheral-vision/id980825405?uo=4&app=itunes&at=11lvuD)_, The Hotelier's _[Home, Like No Place Is There](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/home-like-noplace-is-there/id818552465?uo=4&app=itunes&at=11lvuD)_ and, strangely, Brand New's _[Deja Entendu](https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/album/deja-entendu/id325226569?uo=4&app=itunes&at=11lvuD)_ (this was spurred by their stellar performance at Coachella more than anything). Seinabo Sey and Courtney Barnett both released exceptional albums as well (they're also both outstanding live performers).

I've been using [Fastmail](https://www.fastmail.com/?STKI=11917049) for over a year now and have been exploring email clients the entire time I've been a subscriber. Until recently, the best client I've been able to find has been Fastmail's web app itself (whether that's in the browser or [in a Fluid instance](http://coryd.me/notes/fastmail-in-fluid-app).<!-- excerpt -->
I've tried [Airmail](http://airmailapp.com/), which is fine but isn't as flexible as I'd like (despite having a really extensive preferences pane) or as lightweight as I had hoped[^1]. I suffered through using OS X's Mail app and, though the [Gmailinator](https://github.com/nompute/GMailinator) plugin made it somewhat bearable, it frequently exhibited odd behavior that had me wondering just what the app was doing at times. I tried using [Mailmate](http://freron.com) on several occasions but would get hung up on the minimal nature of the app's designed and overwhelmed by it's flexibility and featureset.

I circled back to the Fastmail web app, but didn't love the idea of using a different web app for each of my email accounts (I have secondary Gmail accounts and would prefer a unified interface for all of my accounts). Frustration with using multiple web apps led me to give Mailmate another chance[^2].

- A folder that collects development meetup messages in Los Angeles so that I can decide which, if any, I'd like to attend.
- Individual folders for my Fastmail accounts so that I can filter through my inbox based on which alias a message was sent to.
Once I had folders set up in Mailmate, adjusted to the UI and began to memorize keyboard shortcuts, I was sold. The app is extremely lightweight and responsive, it's endlessly configurable and the app's bundles feature is extremely useful. I also really enjoy it's composer view and Markdown support (being able to email fenced code blocks is extremely useful). I think I'm finally done looking for a new email app. Finally.

[^1]: In fairness, this is a subjective judgement, but the app doesn't feel quite as smooth or as responsive as I had hoped it would.
[^2]: This decision was, in part, prompted by [Gabe Weatherhead's](http://www.macdrifter.com/tag/mailmate.html) and Brett Terpstra's posts about the app. I assumed there must be slmething I was missing.

Making the switch itself was painless. I added a key to my Bitbucket account, switched the remotes out on my repos and pushed each repo to its new home on Bitbucket. Switching remotes out is as simple as:
