taquiones.net is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
I have finally started actually building my first node in what I hope to eventually become a local inter-neighborhood #MeshNetwork of nodes.
The premise is to have an open wifi access point #OffGrid both powered by solar and not connected to the internet, with a few simple things that might be useful to neighbors...
Not sure exactly what all it might have, but I envision at least a #Wiki ...
#EMail ? Mailing lists?
#XMPP ?
#SyncThing ?
#NNCP ?
#RSS feeds?
#Kiwix ?
@Lilith Bin ja immernoch der Ansicht dass @delta / #deltaChat sich für Organisationen anbietet, weil #PGP/MIME funktioniert und #eMail-Infrastruktur eh vorhanden ist.
- Nächstbeste ist #XMPP+#OMEMO weil ich kann #TechIlliterates binnen Minuten onboarden…

Dein E-Mail-Postfach weiß mehr über dich als du denkst: Logins, Bestellungen, Arzttermine, Verträge – alles läuft dort zusammen. Gmail, Outlook und GMX nutzen genau das, um dich besser zu durchleuchten.
Teil 4 der Serie #UnplugBigTech zeigt, wie der Umstieg auf einen seriösen Anbieter gelingt – Schritt für Schritt, ohne Chaos.

Nuevo artículo comentando las características y las diferencias importantes entre el correo seguro y privado de Tuta y Proton. Se agradece retoot y difusión -> https://alt43.es/tuta-vs-proton-mail-en-2026-no-todo-el-correo-cifrado-es-igual/
When I set up the Ghost instance currently under the hood of Disintermedia.net.nz, I learned that if you want to email a newsletter to a list of subscribers who've asked you for it, you can't just send it from any old SMTP mailserver. To avoid being flagged as a spammer, blocking all your email delivery, you have to pay 1 of a handful of bulk delivery companies like MailGun or SendGrid to deliver email newsletters to subscribers for you.
WTF?!?

Quiero dejar de usar Thunderbird en el ordenador (LMint), que me aconsejáis para sustituírlo?
Gracias

Friends, is this https://nxdomain.no/~peter/20260224_smtp_blast_to_imaginary_friends.txt what a successful campaign looks like?

I'm getting the same spam over and over to a self hosted account. The subject is always the same, the body is pretty short and nearly identical. The only thing that changes are the sending address and the parameters on a long URL at the end of the email.
No matter how many I pass to spamassassin it still never scores more than 3.7
Any ideas?

📧 What if email services had limits BY DESIGN?
Not to upsell you.
Not to force you to pay.
But to make you more intentional.
message.casa was created for this purpose!
✉️ Email:
• 128 MB storage (not 15 GB bloat)
• 64 emails/hour (no spam machines)
• 8 MB attachments (no bloat)
• Unlimited aliases (privacy++)
💬 XMPP messaging:
• 8-day history (live in the present)
• 256 contacts max (meaningful connections)
• 16-person group chats (human-scale)
🔒 Privacy-first:
• No personal data for signup
• Encrypted storage (LUKS)
• No tracking, no ads
• TLS required
The philosophy: Constraints foster creativity.
Limited storage = delete what doesn't matter.
Small groups = actual conversations.
Short history = be present.
This is email/chat for the SmolWeb era.
Try it: https://message.casa/
Do limits make you more intentional?

it could have been much easier to handle with #ArcaneChat & #DeltaChat
Anybody knows, at which time (and with which product) the "reading receipt" ("Lesebestätigung") came up for e-mail? Was it with some early Outlook/Exchange version, or in some earlier messaging system? Lotus Notes maybe?
For chat, probably Blackberry was the first to introduce status like "delivered" and "read". But I wonder, when it began for mails. #techhistory #vintagecomputing #technikgeschichte #email
when you are trying to sleep at night and suddenly remember that #ArcaneChat / #DeltaChat are the only piece of software out there that makes it possible easily and for free to have a #decentralized #e2ee #mailinglist #newsletter (called "channels" inside the app) that is portable, doesn't depend on a specific/central #email server and can be easily migrated to a completely different server / address without any visible change or disturbance for your subscribers
all FREE and without limits 🤯
@rl_dane yep you missed the point, it is for ENCRYPTED #email, you are using a public chatmail server without strict rate-limits and open registration, there unencrypted email is not allowed otherwise the service could be abused by spammers
you can use it for unencrypted email if you configure a profile with a classic email server, then you can send/receive unencrypted
that said, the error in that picture just says you did a typo and wrote to the wrong email address
An exchange with Outlook-suffering colleagues reminded me of my 2011 rant which is sadly still relevant, "The Problem Isn't Email, It's Microsoft Exchange" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/the_problem_isnt_email_its_microsoft_exchange.html #email #outlook #exchange #uxfail #standardswhatstandards
I haven't followed Thunderbird Pro development super closely, but it *looks* like they've locked in a price. Is this a new detail? At any rate, I'd definitely pay $9/month for a hosted Thunderbird email plan with 30GB of storage, 15 email addresses, and 3 custom domains. (The 300GB of Send Storage also feels fair).
@skippy I have several profiles (family, work, public, plus classic email accounts), for chatting I am using different #chatmail relays across profiles, including my very own chatmail server: https://arcanechat.me
I also have some profiles just for checking and answering classic email including: #disroot, #riseup and #gmail, I don't use any classic email client, I just read the #email inbox in #ArcaneChat as chats, it is so much easier than in a linear inbox
I survive without #WhatsApp, without #Telegram, without #Signal, without #Teams, without #FacebookMessenger even if social pressure is huge (for WhatsApp in particular)
My main discussions channels are #email, #xmpp and the #Fediverse
I've tried #deltachat but removed it because I have no contact using it.
I’ve begun my journey to reduce my reliance on US tech, so it’s time for an update on how it’s all going.
No surprise, some services are far more easy to replace than others. Email and streaming are low-hanging fruit; maps and messaging can be more difficult. But we should still make the effort.

We are not aware of other FOSS development teams that have as extensive knowledge, both theoretical and practical, about #email and #openpgp and regularly release across all platforms for users world wide ... except for #protonmail with whose technical and security experts we discuss regularly. They are the other major game in town doing pervasive email encryption after all. Did you know that Proton's and delta's VCards are compatible across ecosystems and establish immediate encryption?
