I don't feel like Russia got a hundred billion dollars worth of military out of the hundred billion dollars they spent

If your password looks like an md5 hash they'll try to dehash it and if they're successful they'll be wrong

*Uses the hash of "password 1" as password

Not even all adults. That diet makes me fart constantly and feel suboptimal.

Every plant is trying to kill you. It doesn't want to be eaten. It especially doesn't want you to eat its seeds. We can detoxify most of the ones that people eat, but it costs

Eating the same plants over again can make you sick

You may not be as good at detoxifying those plants as the people who do well eating them

I know I'm a lot healthier with no plants in my diet than I have been with lots of plants

You can keep secrets from the future. Future decryption won't help government see what you did in the now, the logs don't store the encrypted payload, only the end points and the user/ip

Addict.

My mail lived on an Intel atom based mini itx machine for years. I wanted to play with breakup by replication and bought a cheap shell. Now the cheap shell is my only mail server

Linux + postfix (SMTP) + dovecot (IMAP and POP3) + SPF + DKIM on the host

Point the MX record for your domain to your IP address

Contact your ISP and ask them to set the PTR record for your IP to your hostname

Mail can be handled by a very low end computer, a raspberry pi can handle email for a small number of users

If you have a specific mail machine you would forward the ports you use to that host on your router.

I self host email. Email is easy. I went a tad overboard with database configuration, a configuration/password change program, a few virtual hosts so I can renew six different names, but a single domain on a Linux box (any flavour) is easy

It makes it easy to make a bespoke email address for every entity you interact with, or show them the respect they deserve by giving your valid email spam@your.domain.tld

It is a bit of a hobby though. You need to keep up with email security if you want to send to anyone.

Your ISP sees the connection to news.usenetserver.com and if they cared could get a court order to get your data from them. They can compel you to release your username and password.

You also need to protect yourself against future law and enforcement

I know that government prosecutions for fraud against government use IP addresses

The IP address identifies the company or home the fraud was done from, the account the money went to identifies the individual

If breaking the law and able to afford to make it difficult for prosecutors, it's probably best to make it difficult for the prosecutors, we may have an activist pro copyright holder government in future and logs are forever (or 5 years)

It seems trivial for the US government to tie data into TOR to data out. If you're hiding things that government is willing to spend effort seeking, it's not safe.
