#GMail is harmful to e-mail ecosystem; its antispam blocking policy matches too many valid messages as spam.

It blocked LastPass email leak warning email, because it contained "a link" to a leaked site.

It blocked an e-mail from goverment agency addressed directly to me.

It discriminates all non-gmail servers, and it's pretty much impossible to own a private SMTP server these days, because GMail will classify everything as spam.

It's not how e-mail should work.

Consider dropping GMail.

You may think your Gmail account is private, but Google disagrees. Google told a judge that users have "no legitimate expectation of privacy." https://www.cnet.com/news/google-filing-says-gmail-users-have-no-expectation-of-privacy/ Proton = privacy.

Putting out another call: I'm looking for #musicians using #Linux or #opensource software to create their tunes.

All genres welcome, as long as it's quality!

This is for my podcast Linux For Everyone. To be honest, this stuff is hard to find.

Help me find it!

Calling all Community Builders: The Internet Freedom Festival is looking for 10 individuals working at the intersection of human rights and technology to take part in a brand new Community Empowerment Program.

Our goal with Tutanota is to offer the most secure email service. The built-in encryption is a good start, but as this post explains, there is more to secure email than just encryption: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/secure-email-service

Looks like a few more slots were added to this wave of #PinebookPro preorders -- this isn't the next batch, just some devices that weren't claimed from the forum pre-orders. If you're quick, maybe you get lucky. ;)

Next livestream is this sunday!

Happy #InternationalDogDay from Disco Dingo :). 🐩 #art #illustration #mastoart

So making small batches of Vinyl records (say 50 pcs) is really not viable. But with compact cassettes - I could pretty much manufacture them myself for as small amounts I want. I could rather cheaply buy cassette stock and print my own cover art. I got a nice tape deck that I could use to record the tapes myself with Linux :D Not sure how many of you would be willing to buy it though.

Did you know that you can hide the application that you are using for #Mastodon?

I am curious about analyzing notifications, especially concerning interactions around publications. So I am building this tool.

OK fedifriends, here's a fun issue that started today.

I have Nextcloud set to auto-upload my photos from my phone. This works great and has done for years.

So today, there's a "connection error" next to all the pending uploads. Not unprecedented, could be a server-side issue, expired cert, etc.

But - it only happens on wifi. If I turn off wifi and go to mobile data, everything's fine.

Will wait see how it goes on work's wifi tomorrow but would be interested in any theories in meantime.

Annoyed to have to manually authorize #PeerTube instances with #uMatrix, I just created a very small script automatically generating uMatricx rules for existing instances.
You can copy them in one click then add it in your custom rules list.

You can find it on #Gitlab: https://booteille.gitlab.io/peertubatrix/

Cryptography question:
If you sign something and then timestamp it in a blockchain, I suppose that would be called "notarization".

What about transferring a token (e.g. a namecoin domain) to prove this and also that there is no other signature that we don't know about.
Is there a name for this ?

It's quite important for signing software updates in a way that proves that some poor activist is not receiving a special signed software update "just for them".

So, this one's rather interesting. Ever heard of a VIC-II (PAL) labelled MOS 8656R2? Well, I haven't.

Wondered why this (apparently fully functional) VIC that I got off eBay had a 8565R2 label fitted on top of it and peeled it off to find this underneath. A mistake in a production run, or ... ?
