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.
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.
But then you gave me an article from one of the most left-wing confirmation-bias writers I've ever seen.
I will continue to search for it on my own.
Don't do my boy Paul Reubans that way...
True enough, yet here we are
If you have something concrete to back that up, then I'm with you. I am not aware of this.
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 Outdated tech and not secure.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.
I said nothing about taking pity on him, and definitely didn't take it anywhere near becoming a monk. I didn't even claim Barron would be a good person if he deviated from his father's bullshit, I'm just putting out food for thought that he may have the potential to deviate.
And yea, laws consider him an adult at 18, but the body and brain are not finished developing.
Any way, my edited point was more about immediately suppressing an opinion that isn't even all that controversial or impossible to occur. It's reddit behavior, I said something incongruent with the hivemind, therefor it must not be discussed. If it was misinformation or just a straight up lie, then I get it. But that isn't so.
Like I mentioned in the post, considering his brothers it's not likely he will make a change, any way. However, he does have a different mom than the others, and growing up with a much different type of publicity. I have two half-siblings (we share a mom, diff dads). Just because we're related doesn't mean we have the exact same beliefs, or comprehend our parents' words in the same way. My siblings live for money, I live in a forest and don't talk to them at all.
They retained a large portion of their staff and are still headquartered in Toronto, though.
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.
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.
