First, check your current config (example output in homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist.xml lower down in this gist):

cat ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

Most importantly, note the -D /usr/local/var/postgres argument.

Second, shut down your current PostgreSQL.

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

I prefer web interfaces rather than desktop clients when possible, i.e., when the web interface is at least almost as good as the desktop client, so I use the FastMail web app almost exclusively. For the most part, it's great. I would prefer not to be reprimanded for pinning ancient emails every time I look at my Archive, but whatever.

But let's talk about Compose.

Let's say I'm writing a rich text email, and I want to create a numbered list. I click the numbered list icon in the toolbar, and get a 1. I write something, newline, 2. Great. Write some more stuff. Now I want to start a sublist. Tab! Awesome. I add a few more sublist items. Now I want to dedent and add an item to the root list. Shift+tab! Wait, nope, that focuses the subject field. WTF? OK, scan the toolbar... nope, nothing there. Well, the ⏵¶ and ⏴¶ buttons look promising, but mouseover indicates they're for left-to-right / right-to-left text direction settings (how many people actually change text direction in an email?). Okay, hmm. Hack time

They must not have a lot of staff or usually get a lot of calls, though, because all I got was a busy signal.

But if you get through to them, tell them (this is the verbiage from NameCheap):

Regarding the proposed rules governing companies that provide WHOIS privacy services (as set forth in the Privacy and Policy Services Accreditation Issues Policy document):

I urge you to respect internet users' rights to privacy and due process.

Everyone deserves the right to privacy.
