Re:How does the Gmail unsubscribe button work? on Saturday May 30, 2020 @01:32AM (#23358742)
you can set things up much, much easier, fastmail calls it subdomain aliasing or something like that.

Basically, it allows you to create email aliases without having to whitelist.

Setup [email protected] and reject everything else arriving there.

Accept anything at @i.yourdomain.com

I have an inbox, everything [email protected] arrives there.

Then I have an "other" mailbox where all the @i.yourdomain.com emails arrive.

If there is a really annoying website that doesn't respect my wishes I create a filter for the offending email to ban any mail to my spam folder.

Re:Fraud possible in Brazil's e-voting system on Sunday October 05, 2014 @12:54AM (#8411483)
voting should never be computerized. the risk for exploits to go unnoticed is too high. paper and pen seems to me the only safe implementation.

Re:Mac or Thinkpad? on Sunday August 18, 2013 @07:58PM (#6234823)
I got the x220 less than a year ago because of all the recommendations out there and I regret it. Should have gotten a Macbook. The trackpad is horrible, the usb connections get cut off after putting the laptop to sleep, which means any mounted external drives are disconnected hard after resuming. Oh and the microphone doesn't work.

Re:Looking for an ebook about money on Friday January 04, 2013 @08:59PM (#5011068)
thanks for that, really appreciate your help! No, unfortunately it wasn't. I think it was a book that went out of print, so the publisher put it up on the web for free, but I could be wrong. Either way, it was definitely a book with more than a hundred pages... Nice find!

Looking for an ebook about money

About 5 years ago, I stumbled across an ebook about money, which I saved on my harddrive as a pdf, but cannot find it anymore. It is likely lost. Unfortunately, I don't remember the title at all, nor the author. The book explained very nicely how money works and what role it plays in the economy. The part that stood out for me was a description of a money system, where interest was eliminated,...

|If you don't like services that require your full name, don't use them.

Similarly, if you don't like to provide pseudonyms, don't do business in Germany. Power always does what it wants, this time it is the German government with the upper hand.

voting cannot be computerized ever without risk of manipulation. voting will always have to be on paper in the interest of democracy.
