Indeed, you are not wrong. Such is the state of many, many things.

I admit it’s easy enough to say, “let’s get rid of it”, but without a solution it’s meaningless to say and is just an ideology.

oh shit, I did not even consider that could happen. I uh… need to go tear down an instance I don’t really use anymore.

I don’t think the SPF / DKIM / DMARC stuff is overly complex nor the core of the problem.

It’s not the core of the issue, but the average joe that is a hobbyist self-hoster it will be.

IMO, the core issue is that there is no standard whatsoever. People just do whatever the hell they want with these records, pretty much. Microsoft and Google do it differently than each other, even.

The only solution for me is that we move on from email as a society.

Mmm. I like your veracity.

Unfortunately this has been going on few several months now. YT is actively blocking IPs if they think they are from data centers, VPNs, or proxies.

They’ve also been doing some under the hood cryptographic changes that cause breakages from time to time in Invidious (the backend for FreeTube)

I guess they didn’t require their HR team to have good written communication skills.

I’m always backing up with SyncThing in realtime, but every week I do an off-site type of tarball backup that isn’t within the SyncThing setup.

I mean, most deodorants have heavy metals and aspartame in them. He’s 50% correct in this decision.

Now he just needs to gain some empathy for others and start using something like a Mineral Deodorant Block

They’re cheaper, last 50x as long as normal deodorant sticks, and only need to be applied once generally, even if you sweat during the day.

just for future reference (click the source button to see how I embedded your image)

Yea, if you are not willing to be meticulous about learning/understanding all the DNS stuff (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), and plan to host this at home, don’t.

I ran this same system for a very long time on a VPS and had no problems with blacklists, but I’m also a career systems engineer that maintained enterprise systems and exchange servers.

Also note how I am speaking of MIAB in the past tense…

I think the better option is to try and avoid email as much as you can, just like SMS. Outdated tech and not secure. At that point, any ol’ existing email service is good enough.

They fired the devs, not marketing /s

Oh damn, I hadn’t heard of that with the Avowed thing. That’s a Bethesda/Microsoft sleezeball move right there.

I think people in general need to just default to “finding content another way”, because companies should never be given the benefit of the doubt IMO.

Case in point is Obsidian, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.

Should definitely be. My mother has the Paper White 6" and I am able to transfer all my zlib EPUB and MOBIs through USB with no issues.

Nevermind, I think I misunderstood and you meant it more like, “We’ll see how long they allow this feature”

(and for whatever reason strikethrough markdown isn’t working…)

I’ve never used it, but curious myself what the benefits are.

Seems too easy to just hop on tor, login, and download.

IMO, err on the side of caution and just don’t use it.

Interesting site. I already snagged a Kobo, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for other stuff!

Ahh, looks like Canada native company started by Indigo, bought by Rakuten in 2011. At least their HQ and all is still in Toronto, didn’t get gutted by the buyout.

I’d never heard of these, thanks! I been trying to find old Kindles for sale, but this looks like a much better choice.

ETA: they’re also a Canadian company, win-win

I was ruined by What.CD, haven’t been able to find a satisfactory one since.

But also, with streaming services and smaller file sizes, torrenting isn’t as necessary. I haven’t seen these two listed, so here you go. Each site has a few options and server locations, so you just need to try the different ones until you know which one works. Some offer FLAC, some MP3 320.

For me, Lucida.to searching Amazon seems to be the most reliable.

I’ve been wondering the same. I think I’m in the 1-2 year mark currently.
