#22NANOG North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) a mailing list for discussion of large scale network operations. There are other regional lists that may be more appropriate for people (APOPS, AfNOG, SANOG, PacNOG, SAFNOG
TZNOG, MENOG, BJNOG, SDNOG, CMNOG, LACNOG)

TZdb -- Time Zone database list: "discusses proposals for updates to the Time Zone Database and associated code (Internet RFC 6557). Common topics include news of changes to daylight saving time rules or to time zone boundaries."
It sounds kind of dry but it's an interesting combination of technical and social problem solving.

#23Are you asking about newsletters or mailing lists? It seems that most people are posting their favorite newsletters. Newsletter: 1 to many Mailing list: many to many
I was asking about mailing lists, but even so, people who are posting interesting newsletters are also very welcome. BTW, thank you everyone who posted (or is going to post) an answer. There are many great suggestions!
I know you asked specifically about mailing lists, then most answers, including mine below, are more newsletters, but if you want a mailing-list type feel, there are also Patreon, Reddit, individual blogs, and other communities that communicate in much the same way and have the same sort of interesting mailing-list feel, with similar volumes. Not sure how much you'd considered those, but a lot of the Reddits I'm in would have been mailing lists/usenet topics pre-Reddit,
Even some public Slack and Discord servers have the same mailing-list feel. eg. I'm in the monitoring.love Slack with a monitoring/SRE focus, and the r9y.dev Discord which is Reliability/SRE/Monitoring focused, and both have the same mailing list type feel.

Consider the Handmade conference newsletter [0]. We're an indie conference focused on low-level programming (nuts and bolts kind of thing) and we occasionally send interesting emails on these topics. Of course we also announce ticket sales and all that, but sparingly :)

#27This is a newsletter as opposed to a mailing list, but I came across it recently and found it interesting -- https://tldr.tech -- it's a daily email with small blurbs and links to sources covering latest science, AI/ML, programming, tech industry, etc. news!

Came here to say this lol. On point financial news analysis with a strong dollop of humor. Worth it just for the Elon musk commentary

#29I run a free weekly writing newsletter that I would recommend!
There is some short fiction, but most of the issues are about writing itself. Eg, a series of posts on “rhythm” in fiction.
If anyone is studying writing and would find that interesting, here’s a link to a sample!

Extra super full disclosure: it’s my newsletter.
