• For incoming mail, on your server run a mail retrieval agent like fetchmail to fetch mail from the externally hosted mailbox into a maildir on your server.
• To serve that maildir to your clients, on your server run a mail delivery agent like the IMAP server Dovecot.
• To accept outgoing mail from your clients, on your server run something like Postfix with a relayhost configured with the details of your externally hosted SMTP server.

There’s nothing unusual or tricky about any of this arrangement.

(I have never used their commercial offering).

Jitsi works really well, and the developers seem to have made an effort to have it work well on any platform, even mobile browsers and PSTN. I’ve always found it the lowest friction teleconferencing method for all types of users.

It’s self-hostable, integrates with SIP, and 8x8’s commercial offering mentions HIPAA, BAA and GDPR.

Eggs are a bit curdled.

When you let an industry regulate itself, you end up with the 737-MAX and a reassurance that existing 737 pilots don’t need further training to fly it…

Huh. Dijkstra is a Dutch name.

IJ/ij is a single letter ÿ but typed on a typical keyboard.

The Dutch word for (water management structure) dyke is dijk.

Flows nicely, but it’s an inaccurate collage of plot elements.

• Isildur lost the ring in a river.
• Déagol found the ring in a river.
• Sméagol killed Déagol for the ring.
• Sméagol (now Gollum) lost the ring in a cave.
• Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Frodo, Gollum, 🌋?

''Boof" as in “Shelve”?

Migadu is a decent option if you don’t want to self-host.

I’d suggest 35,000 low-earth-orbit satellites but Elon is already working on that.

It’s no use. “VPN” means gateway/MITM service, just like “crypto” means digital tulip mania.

Today’s episode brought to you by our friends CoinSkank™ and EchelonVPN.

The article does not explain the primary design purpose of a VPN – providing an encrypted tunnel into or between two private subnets.

For example, your home subnet is typically all 192.168.nnn.nnn addresses – a class of addresses which the wider internet does not route, and which your router/modem does not allow the wider internet to access unless explicitly permitted.

Say you have a NAS on your home network, and you want to access it from your laptop while at a cafe; you could set up a VPN between your laptop and your home router, and it can make your home network appear as your local network to your laptop, giving you access to your NAS.

Or between two office locations of a business – their database servers, accounting systems, printers, etc can all be freely accessible between offices without being exposed to the wider internet.

So it sounds like an ID will not be a requirement.

Sure, but gov ID is permitted as an option if another non-ID option is also available.

Simply choose between submitting your government ID or, say, switch on your front facing camera so we can perform some digital phrenology to determine your eligibility.

The ban and age verification requirements apply to pretty much all services which allow communication of information between people, unless an exemption is granted by the minister.

There is no legislated exemption for instant messaging, SMS, email, email lists, chat rooms, forums, blogs, voice calls, etc.

It’s a wildly broadly applicable piece of legislation that seems ripe to be abused in the future, just like we’ve seen with anti-terror and anti-hate-symbol legislation.

From 63C (1) of the legislation:

For the purposes of this Act, age-restricted social media platform means:

• a) an electronic service that satisfies the following conditions:
  • i) the sole purpose, or a significant purpose, of the service is to enable online social interaction between 2 or more end-users;
  • ii) the service allows end-users to link to, or interact with, some or all of the other end-users;
  • iii) the service allows end-users to post material on the service;
  • iv) such other conditions (if any) as are set out in the legislative rules; or
• b) an electronic service specified in the legislative rules; but does not include a service mentioned in subsection (6).

Here’s all the detail of what the bill is and the concerns raised in parliament.

LoL, they misconfigured their test rig and it turns out they were measuring loopback’s bandwidth.
