I did lots of reading about this and am still wondering why someone would want to opt for catch-all domains over aliases. Catch-alls seem highly susceptible to spam and while I haven’t actually done any email aliasing yet,

I’m using catch-all since years and no spammer has ever made up a new email alias to spam me.

it doesn’t seem to take much effort to make a new alias if you have a plan with unlimited aliases.

That depends. The moment you are in a shop without your phone/email and they really want an email address you can simply write down their_company_name@your_email_domain_name for them without having to compromise anything.

It will remain only on the LAN without being reachable from the internet, does the “not https” aka “personal certificate” will be a problem?

Caddy can do local SSL certificates without needing browser exceptions.

The web link in this post gives a 404. Correct is https://sga.codeberg.page/articles/Launcher/Launcher_for_Everything.html

I think to know that you can query some info from a mailserver to test if an address exists.

Yes, vrfy

For Postfix the default of disable_vrfy_command is : no So I assume you can try it risk free.

GMaps WV as mentioned in another comment : https://f-droid.org/packages/us.spotco.maps/ Last updated, June 2024.

This is a restricted WebView wrapper for accessing the web version of Google Maps. Intended for use when OpenStreetMap isn’t enough.

FreeBSD is perhaps easiest to start with. A USB Ethernet dongle might save the day for Internet connection. You can also try BSD with KVM (Qemu) or VirtualBox in Linux.

I stopped trying after NY, Chicago and LA which were all blocked. At this point their defenses are more aggressive than my bank.

Tried Mullvad for this :

• Germany - fine
• Greece - blocked
• Finland - blocked
• Hungary - fine

I guess it’s YMMV.

They aren’t protecting state secrets.

They’re probably worried and with forums abuse this is quite fair.

Bookmarked. Thanks.

Though I’ll have to try later some other time, I guess Tor users are blocked :

The owner of this website (www.bikeforums.net) has banned the country or region your IP address is in (TOR) from accessing this website.

According to this I think this is the Mastodon account of the Funkwhale developer https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@funkwhale which is down as well. The first link also has a link to their Matrix channel.

Wondering : Does duf do a better job than df with btrfs ?

How does making a keyring file work ? I tried it by importing the signing key into my keyring and then ran gpgv tails-amd64-6.4.img.sig tails-amd64-6.4.img which also gives : gpgv: Can't check signature: No public key

Found this, which appears to suggest to use other verification methods : https://tails.net/contribute/design/download_verification/#index2h1

OpenPGP verification instructions

We removed the instructions to verify downloads with OpenPGP because:

Without advanced knowledge of OpenPGP, verifying with OpenPGP provides the same level of security as the JavaScript verification on the download page, while being much more complicated and error-prone.

None of our personas would have enough knowledge of OpenPGP to use the OpenPGP Web of Trust with confidence.

Providing basic (and never exhaustive) instructions has proven to be very time consuming to our help desk and technical writers. See #17900.

We still explain how to verify our signing key using the OpenPGP Web of Trust in the installation instructions from Debian, Ubuntu, or Mint using the command line and GnuPG because Debian derivatives come with trusted OpenPGP keys that can be used to create a path to our signing key.

NetGuard uses a VPN connection inside the phone. NetGuard is not like a VPN server, it will just block network access for apps you want to block access for.

The discontinuation of neofetch development was big news for a lot of people, for example here : https://lemmy.ml/post/15051857 I’m happy for the software developer, now a farmer though :)

The developer maybe moved on to something new, like author of neofetch took up farming a few months ago.

Good read. Piefed looks like a promising and active project with interesting features. Did you try Lemmy with the new 0.19.4 ? That upgrade makes it more smooth for me.

A Terminal Email Client As An Alternative To Gmail: The Old Dog Neomutt And Pals

A title like “A Terminal Email Client for Gmail As An Alternative To Gmail web: The Old Dog Neomutt And Pals” would be a better fit.

Yes, go ahead and file the bug. And as others mentioned already, the custom screensaver modifications of XScreensaver like for LM may have bugs. The author of XScreensaver has been complaining about this several times.

• https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html#gnome-screensaver

The bug you found looks similar to this one :

• https://linuxreviews.org/Xfce4-screensaver_0.1.9_Is_Released_With_A_Critical_Security_Fix

Unlocking a machine locked with Xfce’s screensaver xfce4-screensaver has long been a simple matter of turning two monitors on at the exact same time. That makes Xfce4-screensaver versions prior to 0.1.9 segfault and crash - leaving the machine unlocked. This very unfortunate Xfce bug #16102 has been open since October 29th 2019 and we have pointed fingers at it several times before. Xfce developer Sean Davis has finally closed this gaping security hole. He explained that the embarrassingly long delay before this security vulnerability was addressed was due to “real life conflicts” in a brief comment on March 22nd. He did not elaborate and we did not ask for further details since it is likely none of our business.

Twitter had a TOR service last time I checked, I haven’t seen a single Mastodon instance available as TOR service.

TIL Mastodon can be run as tor service : https://docs.joinmastodon.org/admin/optional/tor/
