Low-tech Magazine: The Comic
In early 2022 I received an email from Guillaume Lion, a young filmmaker based in Brussels, Belgium. Having read Low-tech Magazine for several years, Guillaume recently started making comics, which he considers low-tech cinema. He proposed to visit me in Barcelona and make a portrait of me. I have never taken myself too seriously, so Guillaume came by later that year. The comic origina … ⌘ Read more

@rebelljoe@twt.nfld.uk now that is cool 😁
I still have the email, and I still appreciate the gesture :)

I’ve restarted my home mail server using wildduck.email. No idea why, guess I just needed a thing

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I love ‘exotic’ computers, especially riscv. But one of the most prized computers I have is the Lemote Yeeloong, Loongson mipsel laptop - http://web.archive.org/web/20151220055337/http://www.lemote.com:80/en/products/Notebook/2010/0310/112.html , very cool machine, I cannot part with that one, gonna put in in my coffin when I die. Got a hold of it about 10 years ago, cost a lot, but it was worth it. I run openbsd on it, and have to compile everything on it. took over 2 weeks to compile sylpheed email client on it LOL.

@abucci@anthony.buc.ci exit nodes and tor traffic that is contained within tor network is two separate things. And I do know what I’m talking about. I ran a exit node for a long time, rented vps in sweden, police raided there, then came at my door the next morning because someone sent angela merkel a threatening email through my exit node. Blocking exit nodes does not shut down hidden services because hidden service traffic never leaves the tor network.

mox Mail Server
I currently use Purelymail for email. It’s very cheap and does everything I need (“purely email”). I’m also happy that I’m free of all the headaches of having a good IP reputation and setting everything up so that my mail doesn’t end up in junk folders. ⌘ Read more

it uses the queries you define for add/del/set/keys. which corrispond to something like INSERT INTO <table> (key, value) VALUES ($key, $value), DELETE ..., or UPDATE ...

the commands are issued by using the maddycli but not the running maddy daemon.

see https://maddy.email/reference/table/sql_query/

the best way to locate in source is anything that implements the MutableTable interface… https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy/blob/master/framework/module/table.go#L38

I think Email has been broken on my Pod since some time now since @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org made this commit the default behaviour of the flags/env had changed requiring SMTP_PORT to be set (used to default toi 25) ooops 😅

@eaplmx@twtxt.net CSS Battle has a passwordless login, I don’t know the implementation but it basically send you and email where you click a link and you’re in.

Just’ve been playing with my email server a little bit today, I’ve set up a honeypot address and got rid of admin@ passwd entry because i already turned it into a forwarding address anyway

I use encrypted email as well. But not frequently, since almost noone does the same.

I maintain keys for my email addresses.. but like most in this thread i almost never receive encrypted emails.. other than the BTC exchange i use that sends automated mail encrypted.

Does anyone of you use PGP encrypted mail, or any kind or email encryption? Why? Why not?

‘Based’ Paganism vs. Christianity

So far I configured most (almost all) settings for GoBlog through a YAML file. But this is not so optimal, after all it happens sometimes that I want to change a small setting, such as the description of a post section, from my smartphone. This would work somehow via SSH, but ideal is something else. Email conversations with Andrés Cárdenas inspired me to finally start the project “settings in the database”. The first step was to make it possible to configure the mentioned post sections. This is now finally possible … ⌘ Read more

Switching to Purelymail
After long consideration, I have now moved email for all but my main domain (but that’s coming too) to Purelymail. Email without bullshit. And with the “Advanced billing mode” they really only charge by usage or $10 per year with the “Simple billing”, but even with Advanced that shouldn’t be much more than $1 per month for me. ⌘ Read more

I use NNCP for everything from send/receiving emails, to Telegram/Matrix piping, and Youtube video queuing. So my plan was to upgrade but then one of my cats threw a temper tantrum over food, so I had to deal with that, then I upgraded everything. Finally 😅

@fastidious@arrakis.netbros.com Some of my friends in college were really excited to actually find other fellow nerds in college willing to engage in a key signing party. They used it to send like 3 or 4 inconsequential emails and then just gave up on it.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de keys.openpgp.org is a descent key server. They only publish a key the at has a valid email.

Bottomline, twtxt is a poor’s man email system. 🤣

Is it me, or Gmail’s web interface is going down the drain? Using Safari—my default browser—often takes two, or three clicks to open an email. If it weren’t because its search is amazing, I would never visit its web interface.

The features that macOS Monterey will bring, albeit minor, will made for a better “quality of living”. I am looking forward to Notes, and the iCloud+ integration (Private Relay, Hide My Email). It also bring macOS cohesively close to iOS. My work 2015 iMac and M1 Mini will get it, so looking forward to it!

@prologic@twtxt.net I know, because fork makes it 100% sure to know who is replying to whom. Just like email’s in-reply-to does (plus the message-id).

@prologic@twtxt.net What if the reply does what fork does, for any replies to the top post, but not the top post itself? You know, like email does. Other than to reply to the top post (for which I use reply), I don’t use reply but fork, to reply to posts underneath because it is the logical thing to do.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de But it makes sense, right? I spend way too much time trying to figure out who replied to whom. I treat twts replies as emails, pretty much.

I wonder how can I set, on Mutt, a shorter subject (elipsed) on the status bar, while reading a email (or a twt).

Based on spam logs, I am (again) considering banning a bunch of TLDs at the server level. Has anyone ever gotten legitimate email from a .work, .casa, or .today domain, for example?

So tired of mobile phone vendor lock in and bad usability for the sake of keeping people in their services. Try printing a file from your email inbox to a Bluetooth printer from your Android phone.

Matrix vs. XMPP

XMPP and Matrix are two decentralized and federated free sofware projects for chat, including true end-to-end encrypted chat.

Users can either install the software on their own server if they want, but they can also easily register on any public server—both allow any XMPP or Matrix user to talk to users on their server or on any other one. In essence, it works like email: you might have an em … ⌘ Read more

updated email address and made a new encryption key

Ah, no; and there we have a good example of finger’s poor discoverability! It matches my email address, though: echo a.9srv.net | sed ’s/./@/’

I wonder if email would be a reasonable way to enable interaction on twtxt… something like publishing an email address for replies in the preamble of your feed, then like twtxt the rest is up to you, but I could imagine a simple moderation queue that could be checked periodically allowing the admin to move approved comments into some public space… I keep thinking I’ll add activitypub comments to my site but it seems more complex than I care for. Ironically because of available tooling email actually feels simpler for this… of course, there is spam…

is there a twtxt mention crawler/indexer? just noticed I’ve been missing messages at me on here. hit me up on the fediverse: jb55 at bitcoinhackers dot org, or my email: jb55 at jb55 dot com

@prologic@twtxt.net Web Key Directory: a way to self host your public key. instead of using a central system like pgp.mit.net or OpenPGP.org you have your key on a server you own.

I could do, but I don’t like email signatures on my private emails.

The ‘As you know, Bob’ technique for infodumps gets a lot of flak, but all my internal corporate emails from upper management begin with ‘As you know,’, so I think there might be room to make it verisimilitudinous.

Isn’t it great that outlook just prevents people from emailing jar files to each other? Like, it’s not as though people occasionally need to send each other internal proprietary jars that aren’t conveniently hosted.
