Reddit has basically gone from a democracy to a dictatorship. If mods don’t obey they’re replaced until reddit finds someone who falls in line.

Did you properly set up DKIm, Dmarc and SPF? I have been hosting my own email through a VM in Texas for about two decades. Whenever I had problems with rejected deliveries, they were solved by moving to the new standards the internet invented to fight spam. Did you use a dmarc analyzer to verify you were set up correctly?

This was a very interesting read. The detail on the exploratory process was perfect. Can’t wait for part two.

Presumably it's a lot harder for a group of evil-doers to get a country into changing laws or printing more money. Your opinions may vary. I have my faith in (some) countries.

Thank you for sharing this. I am in charge of archiving the family files - pictures, video, art projects, email. I want it available through the aging of standards and protected against the bitrot of aging hard drives. I'll be converting any xz archives I get into a better format.

Is this REALLY accepted as true? Photons are fast, but they're not instantaneous. They still take millions of years to travel between galaxies. For something to be truely timeless, I'd expect it to be able to teleport. Is this incorrect?
