I've been doing more research on email servers and email hosting.

It would be great to talk with a Sys Admin who handles email for multiple domains and clients.

I am working with a company who has been doing web design and hosting for their web design clients since the '90s.

They hosted their email starting way back when and have been using the same email server pretty much ever since. It needs to be replaced soon.

The question is what to replace it with.

Host our own? And all the complications that come with that.

Manage the email but host somewhere else with a company that specializes in email? Such as MXroute:

https://mxroute.com

Host our own email IMAP accounts, but use a separate service for sending mail so we don't have to worry about deliver-ability?

Let me know if you have experience with a similar situation.

dsfgs,

Maybe explain how XMPP is tried-and-tested for over a generation (15 years), and how many proprietary systems use it at the back end, while collecting our #metadata (and data) at the same time.

It really is time to move on from the colonised, censorship web too. Mixnets like I2P/Tor are the present and future.

Even the slowest moving decentralised money protocol uses I2P. Its just time to move into the 21st century, really.

@CharlieMcHenry nothing new, since basically everyone is #oversharing their images with #metadata like #GPS in them and it's also trivial to #OSINT most images based off basic info about the photographers origin/place of residence as well as whereabouts...

That's no big deal, just basic #DataScience to the point that I think this should be mandatory about #journalism to be taught in #schools...

Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data: Push notifications contain useful metadata

Push notifications are used to provide a wide variety of alerts to app users. A friendly ding or text alert on the home screen notifies users about new text messages, emails, social media comments, news updates, packages delivered, gameplay nudges—basically a ...continues

This had already worked for more common container formats, such as MOV and MP4, but now for containers and others.

Really proud of Signal, of this piece, and so happy to help lead an organization willing to be honest about what others hide: the incredible cost of developing consumer tech, and why it’s so hard (but rewarding!) to build tech that doesn’t rely on monetizing surveillance.

kkarhan,

@Mer__edith I think that @signalapp could've avoided most of these costs if they weren't a #centralized, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider solution but instead aimed at #decentralization.

But that would not work for a #metadata-driven #Honeypot that is subject to #CloudAct and aims to lure #TechIlliterates into a false sense of #Security...

Let’s say it’s possible to implement a standard for alt-text/image description metadata that’s embedded within an image file, and a toolset exists for converting between that and the img tag in HTML. Would this be something people would be interested in seeing?

I created a new page in my photography site to show some statistics about the settings used to shoot the photos I share there: apertures, focal lengths, ISOs, shutter speeds.

Do you think any other statistics could be interesting?

This is of course using @eleventy 's collections and filters, based on photo data stored in Markdown files.

Metadata is information about other data, in our case documents. DEVONthink lets you create and use custom metadata, that you can apply to your documents. Here is, how that works. #devonthink #pkm #metadata https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20231031-custom-metadata?utm_content=buffer975b3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

A question for @darktable:

Is it now possible, somewhere in all of the GUI, Settings, etcetera, to output a processed image using the original shoot date as the ‘file created’ date?

darktable,

Is there a way to mass import box art into Daijisho?

I know Daijisho automatically scrapes, which is cool, but I'm not always crazy about the way it scrapes box art. I have an emulation station setup on my PC and I'd really like to copy the box art images from there and import them into Daijisho, but I can't find where those images are stored on my Android device (Retroid Pocket...

Digging a little bit in the some ICC profiles added in signal-app, I updated the original issue and there is clearly an issue where new ICC profiles are created from the Google skia library.

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/6031#issuecomment-1702432836

This issue only appears when the media-quality is to high. Maybe an allow-list strategy like the mat2 tool written by @jvoisin would be better to be sure that new metadata created are discarded by default.
