Wut?

The reason I gave up self hosting email was because all my emails kept going to spam for everyone I emailed.

You need to set up DKIM, SPF and DANE, then most big email providers will accept your mail. Worst case, you may need to contact them to unblock your mail server’s IP if that has been used by a spammer prior to you.

Plus incoming email needs spam protection.

Both SpamAssassin and Rspamd do a decent job of that.

Note: I’m using rspamd, and for some time at the beginning, it looked like it wasn’t really doing anything. Turns out it needs a couple hundred training emails before it will start using the Bayes function. Just feed your Spam folder into the learn_spam command and any of your normal, not-spam folders into the learn_ham command.

Domain registration information can usually be found out somehow, although these days you have to jump through some additional hoops to get it, and those hoops are designed to discourage automated lookups. The privacy gains you get from hosting your own email server, though, are massive and IMHO more than worth it. If you are not hosting your own mail server, then the most you can expect from having your own domain is nicer looking email addresses. Depending on what your hosting provider supports you might also get unlimited aliases, maybe even regex aliases, which can be very helpful when handing out mail addresses to various companies and internet services.

If your main concern is that your email address should not be associated with your real identity, your best bet is to just use a VPN to connect to any large email hoster, like ProtonMail. (Obviously don’t use Proton Mail if Proton is also your VPN.)

How much of this stuff is made up? I know Venmo is real, but a lot of the rest sounds like parody names.

“They’re a private company” (with a state-sponsored monopoly on an essential good).

I don’t know how anybody is surprised by this. Who do you think would buy a privatized municipal water supplier, other than people trying to squeeze as much money as possible from a population with no recourse and no say in the matter?

Against who? Themselves?

Against people and media outlets who reported the issue or reported on the issue.

Their handling of the situation is close to as bad as it gets. Starting with taking 14 months(!) to address a wide open security hole.

* edit: security hole, not security home

There is no wise way to use that information.

But the foolish ones could be entertaining.

Hm, agree in principle, but it should also really be noted that a donation that is required to get an account (or arguably even smaller perks) does not count as a donation anymore. At that point, it’s a weasel-wordiy way to say “payment”. Which should, IMHO, not be supported.

This is x86 assembler. (Actually, looking at the register names, it’s probably x86_64. On old school x86, they were named something like al, ah (8 bit), ax (16 bit), or eax (32 bit).) Back in the old days, when you pressed a key on the keyboard, the keyboard controller would generate a hardware interrupt, which, unless masked, would immediately make the CPU jump to a registered interrupt handler, interrupting whatever else it was doing at the point. That interrupt handler would then usually save all registers on the stack, communicate with the keyboard controller to figure out what exactly happened, react to that, restore the old registers again and then jump back to where the CPU was before.

In modern times, USB keyboards are periodically actively polled instead.

In the background i can only recognize Shinzo Abe (Japan).

John Bolton is also quite recognizable. The rest, I can’t place, either.

Germany’s Angela Merkel called the U.S. president’s words “sobering and a little depressing"

Meanwhile, the Italians thought he was too chaotic and disorganized, the Greek didn’t like his lack of work ethic, the French objected to his constant philandering and the British were put off by his taste in food.

How is he 94 years old while not even looking 70?

They’ve recently been arresting white-skinned people from traditional white and western countries as well, such as Germany. What’s more, we’re not even talking about just sending them back anymore. That, I could even kinda live with, even if it is both unethical and stupid (the US needs those people’s cheap labor). We’re talking about locking them up without trial or any process whatsoever in illegal torture prisons.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. As weird and hard to believe as it seems right now, it’s not Trump himself who will be our biggest problem in the mid to long term. It’s who ever comes after him who he and his followers are paving the way for now.

Trump so far has been of a somewhat limited dangerousness for freedom and democracy so far, not because his views and convictions are not dangerous enough, but because he’s simply too incompetent to be properly dangerous. There is a good likelihood that whoever comes after him will be a lot more competent.

Why the fuck is a Microsoft account so important to Windows that running it without one is considered a “loophole”?

Files and directories starting with a dot are hiden by default. You are aksing for this stuff if you manually unhide them.

There’s that “I never vote because politicians do not care about the issues of people like me anyway” attitude again.

(Hint: They don’t care because your kind won’t vote anyway.)

I have no idea how you get anti-immigration and anti-islam sentiments to “I need to kill some random people by driving into a christmas market”. Then again, right-wingers, who knows what’s going on in those heads…
