Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 05-Dec-2023 04:03:07 JST Moon Had to carefully dance around why western servers block Japanese servers to the person I’m seeing while explaining the fediverse -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Tuesday, 05-Dec-2023 02:20:03 JST Moon It’s true kids don’t want to work because there’s no payoff like there used to be but ideally this would lead to more risk taking but that’s not happening either -

Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Monday, 04-Dec-2023 20:45:41 JST Moon This is a request for help regarding Fediverse programming. Please reply with your ideas for different types of Fediverse, or Fediverse server, "achievements" or awards, or badges/credentials, that would be suitable in a decentralized context.
Examples:
* Donator badge
* Most blocked instance user award, 2022
* Oldest user on instance
This is a brainstorm so don't reject ideas for being stupid just reply to this post with them.
Please share. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 22:26:07 JST Moon 2000 election might have been stolen via supreme court depending on how you interpret it, I honestly can't remember the minute details anymore. All I remember was the argument that the state was changing its election laws during the election which is probably usually bad but probably more sensitive to the actual thing being changed not just a change happening -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:53:05 JST Moon @newt I happen to know that some places keep them around in case of power loss they can keep doing business. however most places now if they can't take a card just shut down until the power comes back. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:52:49 JST Moon So, I mentioned that I still have a checkbook. And people on here were like "what do you even need checks for lol"
Yesterday I had to write a check to my building to pay for an additional key fob, they only took checks or money orders. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:45:40 JST Moon Imagine if infosec "people" analyzed our election systems top to bottom and wrote breathless reports of how utterly insecure it was, kind of like when they tell you they discovered a critical vulnerability at the grocery store where anyone can take the entire bowl of free samples -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:45:39 JST Moon @feld there's no evidence that the 2020 election was stolen (here come the replies) just funny how different the attitude on vote fraud has become despite probably no significant improvement in any of our systems. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:30:08 JST Moon @aetios @opal @xian btw don't use OpenSMTPD, it's a trick. they changed their config format a dozen times and despite wanting to be the most well designed, secure email server they had numerous critical vulnerabilities. maybe it works better now, don't care.
if you run your own mail server use postfix and touch as little as possible. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:30:01 JST Moon @opal @aetios @xian Also dovecot setup is annoying but not terrible, UNTIL you want to do something a little unusual like catchall mailboxes or some sieve filtering rules, at which point it becomes a ton of work because it's undocumented except out of date guides online that don't work anymore. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:22:02 JST Moon @mattblaze remember that other election and all your security buddies were screaming about how dangerous and untrustworthy computer voting machines were and half the country was screaming the election was stolen and the news media was citing you guys criticizing voting machines while questioning the election results? -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:07:13 JST Moon @whiteline @xian I got an iphone so now I have apple Maps, it's going to be hard but I'm going to get out from under gmail. For meeting I'm just at the whim of whoever sets up the meeting and I'm forced to use that. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:06:43 JST Moon I really really need out from under google -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:05:27 JST Moon It works really good imo
It’s paid 10usd/mo -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:05:09 JST Moon @mint @opal @xian @aetios well that's what I mean, if you get your mail delivered or not is more reliant on the ip than anything you can control in the setup. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:03:21 JST Moon @mint @opal @xian @aetios well, I was a contractor at the time and needed it for work. work email should always be on a big provider or you're just asking to lose communication with people. I lost work because of my insistence on self hosting. -
Moon (moon@shitposter.club)'s status on Saturday, 28-Oct-2023 21:00:58 JST Moon @opal @xian @aetios mail is hard, I ran my own mail server for over 15 years in addition to running three commercial mail servers for big companies. you can do everything right and still have unacceptable levels of undelivered mail. the factors are largely out of your control.
I have mentioned this previously but I had a mail server I inherited that had the same ip address since the 1990s and it got a moderate amount of spam and no deliverability problems. I spent a bunch of time and wrote a bunch of new spamassassin rules and my users were super happy.
due to ISP issues we ended up having to change IP ranges. After that, spam got out of control and deliverability dropped. I spent months writing custom spam rules but it just never stopped. In the end we switched to gmail and all problems went away.
I stopped hosting my own mail server because it became impossible to stay unblocked from gmail and outlook. I would get blocked for no reason, request an unblock, wait a month until they unblocked me, then a month later their automated system would block me again.
fuck email, give up, just use the thing that works and move on.
