Alright, here's more #birbs

@sandzwerg @minego thanks for the mention. Should I post more #birbs here?

@stefanieschulte no idea.

@stefanieschulte
It is something G+ does since a long time and many people find it abhorrent. So why not copy it?

(I believe the idea is that it gives more content to people with a small social circle, which is many. People with many connections suffer more because they get more like/+1 floated posts.)

@amaelle_g it would still be possible to intercept the passphrase by man-in-the-middling the bootup phase/putting something between your usb stick and the disk to unlock (for example by modifying the firmware on your mainboard). The TPM measuring method protects against that.

@amaelle_g forgot to link to https://github.com/mjg59/tpmtotp

@amaelle_g Booting from an external USB stick does not necessarily protect you from an Evil Maid attack, check https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/35742.html for options using a time based one time password generator on your mobile phone (or build one with an arduino: https://hackaday.com/2012/07/11/time-based-one-time-passwords-with-an-arduino/).

@woozle I guess they block the address rangrs of all hosting providers (i'm at scaleway), and only people that go through enough paperwork get an exemption ...

@woozle the docs at mail.live.com ... say "Mail rejected by Outlook.com for policy reasons. Reasons for rejection may be related to content with spam-like characteristics or IP/domain reputation. If you are not an email/network admin please contact your Email/Internet Service Provider for help."

@woozle yes, blocked

"Unfortunately, messages from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can also refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors. (in reply to MAIL FROM command))"

@woozle @schestowitz do you have an msn address at hand I could try? feel free to PM.

@woozle that's the reason I use my own mail server mainly for receiving mails from non-person-entities, but send using gmail /-:

Dealing with random blacklisting is frustrating, especially since mail providers sometimes blacklist you if you come from a consumer IP range and/or have something in your config they deem "wrong".

And often the large providers do not give you info on what's wrong because they do not want to tell spammers how to build a legitimately looking service.

@woozle yes, to a degree.

@dredmorbius well that notion seemed to have stopped with the unbundling of Google Photos at the latest?

@cassolotl @schlink @WelshPixie @gargron @maloki I went with "gentlepeople" in emails addressing larger groups.

@dredmorbius @Jawoodward @gideonro @dredmorbius Time to #giveupandusemultipleapps then? (I have two accounts, one in Tusky, the other in Mobile Chrome. At times I feel the latter works better).
