Amazingly amazing.
Just noticed my really old script to retrieve iTunes album covers works perfectly with Apple Music links, too!
I copied an arbitrary URL from the music.apple.com website (via “Share” drop-down), entered it into the iCover form, and voilà!

Yes, I am still running my own mailserver.
My Postfix / Dovecot installation works quite well – because I barely dare to touch its configuration. Sure, the terror regime of the big mail providers (“if you won‘t join us, we will consider your messages as spam”) is annoying as a billionaire, but nevertheless I still can communicate via e-mail reliably enough.
Now two new (at least for me) mailservers popped up in my variaus information channels:

Maybe a hint to try out both of them; I would be glad to get rid of main.cf and sieves and such…

* I think this is a good thing 😌
