Wow. I did not have #SORBS shutting down on my list of things to expect this week:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/06/07/sorbs_closed/

They’ve been around for almost half my life.

Bet the spammers are gonna be happy.

To call somebody on the phone in order to ask if it would be Okay to send an #email is a first for me. 😁

This is my #gmail inbox. I think Google's #spam detector has just given up. I'm not American, have never lived there, and surely can't vote there.

Did I already mention that I do find it very sad that inline quoting with interleaved style is not a thing in typical business #email environments? 😔

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Interleaved_style

My guess: mainly mostly because #Outlook is bad at it and most people have never learned about it either.

@publicvoit E-Mail is too complicated. Let us have a 1+ hours meeting instead.

Current status: cup of tea in the garden. Reading a 2007 book I bought in 2012, about some software first released in 1995 handling a 1981 protocol that I'm going to use as the cornerstone of my teeny tiny SaaS in 2024.

May we all have such a long-term effect on the world!

trying to get running with @lkh (still!)

now I know why SMTP is called the Simple mail transfer protocol

@yeti I think I could set up the VPS to allow anonymous UUCP. Not sure if accessing it by telnet would make sense, since it's really about file transfer.

From an old HOWTO I gather that anonymous uucp used to use login: uucp, password: uucp and people expected to find a file machine!~/INDEX to see what's there.

@yeti back in the day only neighboring systems needed to know how to reach each other. Bang path's took care of the routing across multiple nodes. With modern MTA's having dropped bang path support things seem to be worse. You need to maintain a sys entry for every system you want to be able to reach @kyonshi

https://email.ml is "Minimalist temporary Email". "Private" #email valid for one hour. Runs on #cloudflare

@bobmagicii my guess is that I would use this for something that I wouldn’t care who was spying. Low risk?

bobmagicii,
@bobmagicii@phpc.social avatar

@davidbisset it will be interesting to see what happens after they start getting millions of bounces a day. like say if a bunch of people used this just to get an account started on a website they wanted to be anonymous on. but the site doesn't know it was ultra transient and continues to send notifications to it.

What do you think about the new Tutanota app logo?

@fatboy It's bad, just as their decision to support multi-level marketing pyramid schemes: https://tuta.com/support/#cryptocurrency #cryptoscam

@fatboy dreadfully awful 😂

weirdwriter,

This is the kind of updates I dream about! Also, yes, I view all my emails in plain text and never going back! https://gabrielsieben.tech/2024/05/17/thinking-out-loud-2nd-gen-email/

@weirdwriter Making the HTML in email lighter would be nice.

Currently it’s an unspecified subset of HTML.

But HTML5 is huge. Though that’s very much non-intuitive for anyone who doesn’t work with it.

ArneBab,
@ArneBab@rollenspiel.social avatar

@weirdwriter the lightest option would be embedding servo — that can work with most of HTML5.

It has 177 MiB of sources, about 15% of Chromium, but still 177 times my current email client.

My email client: https://www.djcbsoftware.nl/code/mu/
Servo: https://servo.org/

Recommendations for good (and preferably cheapish) own-domain providers, anyone? As far as I know the consensus is still that running your own is prohibitively difficult for reputation reasons, but do correct me if I'm wrong.

@curtispf I cannot fault Fastmail - I ran my own server for almost 20 years and had to finally give in. :( they’ve been great.

#willhaben steigt aus Sicherheitsgründen von #TAN via #EMail auf TAN via #SMS um.

Glaubt nicht diese Behauptung. SMS ist gleich unsicher wie E-Mail - beides unnötige Risiken, da es gute Alterantiven gibt.

Wenn willhaben tatsächlich daran gelegen wäre, unsere Sicherheit zu verbessern, würden sie effektive und sichere Authentifizierungsverfahren wie #FIDO2 unterstützen anstatt Handynummern abzugreifen.

Mal sehen, wann die meine Handynummer durch Hacks/Leaks verlieren ...

@publicvoit bei der aktuellen Menge an Scam Anrufen / SMS hat womöglich eh schon jemand eine live connection zu deren Datenbank 😂

publicvoit,
@publicvoit@graz.social avatar

#willhaben schreibt: "Die Verifizierung der Telefonnummer ist ein gängiger Prozess im Internet und sicherheitstechnisch relevant."

😔

Gängig: Ja, leider.

Sicherheitstechnisch relevant: Eher nein, weil es datensparsamere und weitaus sichere Methoden gibt!

Anybody have recommendations for #email providers? I've been using @mailbox_org since 2019 but the service is going downhill. They are outright blocking mail from a number of legit senders, support now takes days to respond and when it does it's not particularly helpful).

I last reviewed mail providers in 2019 here https://changelog.complete.org/archives/9952-review-of-secure-privacy-respecting-email-services .

My criteria -- it must: let me bring my own domain, by privacy-respecting, have reasonable support, not require clients other than IMAP/SMTP. #askfedi

@jgoerzen @mailbox_org : mailbox is my backup provider. Quite sad to hear that they are worsening 😞
