  • I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

    I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

    Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

    What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?



  • Does it?

    Do you think spammer will just stop at the first address and then call it a day?

    In my experience there is no such thing as a “catch all” domain address. The second your domain leaks then many spammer will just go into a frenzy and try hundreds or thousands of mail aliases.

    Especially since they can’t really spam Gmail as easily (since early 2024) they will even more aggressively spam any other domain.







  • I just got to say this website is a nightmare. At least 4 popups overlays just opening the article. The remove ads button just leaves the article and offer you to pay to remove ads. There is also delayed popups appearing while you read the article…

    Are they speedrunning obsolence by making sure nobody read their articles online?

    If you do self host I suggest reading carefully the Gmail guidelines for mails. They are the leaders in the field and they dictate the level of security required.

    DNS forward and reverse, DKIM, SPF, DMARC, ARC, DANE, bounce signature etc. Email is indeed a very complicated thing to host. I work on emails system all day and and I wouldn’t host my own mail.

    Even worse I’m hoping email disappear and another technology takes it place. Emails are unreliable and outdated, they need to go.






  • Remember that AI answer that said that adding -f option was to get a confirmation before deletion ?

    I’m a bit concerned that this kind of meme will get a lot more real when people will blindly trust AI for commands.

    Unfortunately I couldn’t find the post in question but if I recall it was GitHub AI telling boldly that you can add -f to your RM command to get a confirmation…

    Read the man people. RTFM is still a good advice.
