@maddler @sarahjamielewis even with proper SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, you can’t reliably send to the big providers because of volume.

That’s right: if you only average a few emails sent per day, Google can’t be sure you’re NOT a spammer, so they bin you.

You cannot make this stuff up.

@maddler @sarahjamielewis I have run my own mailserver for literal decades and email delivery is all but impossible these days, what with gmail and office365 shutting out the small players in the name of spam prevention.

Just last month my Google workspace domain was being spambinned because I used an s3 bucket to load logos in my signature.

Broken. Totally broken.

You've heard of "I don't want your fucking app."

Now get ready for "I don't want to join your fucking Discord server just to get basic information that should be on a proper website instead of hidden away in the archives of a fucking chatroom."

I’m not an infosec expert or anything but I don’t think that’s right

@raptor @HalvarFlake i find it immensely amusing that the elders of my youth wanted us to stop “fooling around with computers” and instead go read a book, that elders of today want everyone to learn Python, and that our parents grandparents thought constant reading was a horrible antisocial blight on society.

Media server is on life support. Luckily I had a shell of a former server (RIP AthlonMonster) to donate parts for the cause.

The move to VA continues. And Buffalo keeps fighting back. Power outage this morning may have fried the PSU on my media server. Anyone know how to verify dead PSU vs dead mobo?

Noticing today people are finding out very quickly what it means to be #verified and how trusting a central authority with no remit to provide this has lead to a situation where it's now harder.

If we'd stuck with #OpenID and taught people to own their stuff then people would be able to verify themselves.

You can do that from a walled garden.

Why does change always seem to come in clusters and clumps? A lot of people who have met up with new in person lately don’t actually recognize me. Hair cut, blazer, oxfords.
Anyhow, we are moving to Virginia

Not sure how long this Mastodon instance is gong to stick around, but that other site is getting to be too much, you know?

Mastodon

Hey, it's way better than the bird site, right?
