Autumn Mahoney :sparkletrans: 1 year ago • mastodon (AP)

I've been running mail servers and writing email software since the dialup days of 1995. I guess by today's trends, that could brand me a holdout.

But we're still hosting mail for hundreds of company domains across dozens of mail servers, all in a nicely packaged system that's always just an "apt install" away.

The landscape has changed over time, and, yes, it is annoying dealing with the imbalance that the behemoth mail providers represent these days.

But there's a lot to be said for not bargaining away your digital autonomy.

I saw @mwl selling his "Run Your Own Mail Server" book and jumped to pick up a copy. Not so much because I had a need for it (though it'll be interesting to compare notes!), but because I strongly support the idea that email is still a shared ecosystem and love that Michael is sharing the knowledge to encourage folks to continue to participate.

Long live the open Internet.

Just wish I had an income, then I could pay a DNS company to allow me DKIM and SPF records. Ever since Google invented those, I've been unable to send emails to just about any mailing list. The local LUG, that UU church, they just silently reject it, nothing the mail admins can do to add an exception. Fred Meyer recently started refusing to send to my mother's email here, and her Chase bank also stopped sending her bills. They would say nothing was wrong on their side, but their messages they claimed had been sent never touched my server.

I can still get emails from meetup.com, and probably your server, but all these requirements that make me give up my legal name, credit card, and actual money to increasingly more rent extractors. Remember when a self-signed SSL certificate worked fine? Just use letsencrypt you say, as if they were a given, and not a point of failure, and my response is "You've reached the maximum amount of domain names you can submit," - what letsencrypt says now, when I try to have more than 1 single DNS name.

i have letsencrypt with about 20 names... i think its max 100 names in a single request, but you can do wildcard also.
letsencrypt is the kind of point of failure i like - i get many weeks of notice that something didnt work and plenty of chance to sort it :)
my experience was that i found it very straight forward and an amazing service...
happy to try to help if i can.

Cy 1 year ago • ActivityPub

I dunno what went wrong with my attempts. Let's see... ohh right I remember now.

Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for \"us.to\". Retry after 2024-09-07T16:00:00Z: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/"

letsencrypt doesn't realize I only have two domains, because it assumes I get all of the domains from us.to, which I absolutely do not. It's like letsencrypt saying too many certificates were issued by "to".

Cy 1 year ago • ActivityPub

...which is frankly moronic, since letsencrypt requires that you make an account, so it knows how many certificates it's issued to you. But my name at "info.tm" got stolen by DNS squatters, so something at "us.to" is all I got. Guess I could try another domain someone's donating to afraid.org, but there's no telling how long it'll last before DNS squatters are using it to extort people too.

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag: 1 year ago • hometown (AP)

@cy I'm...a little puzzled by a few elements here. 😐

1. Legitimately free DNS providers still exist, who support DKIM/SPF records (which are just TXT records, anyway). I use Hurricane Electric's dns.he.net these days, after decades of running my own DNS network. Although I think reverse DNS is also a blocker to many destinations, which definitely raises the bar on the sending side.

@Cy

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag: 1 year ago • hometown (AP)

@cy 2. Inbound mail is not subject to DKIM/SPF validation, so that alone doesn't explain your inbound woes. I'd be happy to take a look at what might be going on the next time I'm at my desk, if you want to send me an email address via DM (I'm a bit of an SMTP sleuth 🕵️🏽‍♂️).

@Cy

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag: 1 year ago • hometown (AP)

@cy 3. The Let's Encrypt thing is very strange; I've got probably a dozen or so certificates, but I don't recall how many I have on a single domain (2-3 for a couple of them, having refreshed my memory on my Nagios dashboard). What TLD is it? (Please don't say .tk, please don't say .tk, please don't say .tk... 😅)

(3/3)

@Cy

Cy 1 year ago • ActivityPub

Eh, it's a bit more complicated than what TLD. The problem is that DNS is an extortion racket, so the person with the name has to keep paying protection money to the registrar, or they transfer it to DNS squatters, who ransom it back for hundreds of dollars a month, while replacing every website that person had with ads and stolen content from other websites so they can screw up search engines.

This is compounded by afraid.org, where someone donates a domain, and afraid.org gives hundreds of people DNS names ending in that name, for free. The donator then has to keep paying some registar indefinitely, or hundreds of small scale websites all get replaced by squatter autogenerated SEO instantly forever.

"us.to" has lasted a while, but "info.tm" got stolen after being fine for years, so I'm still looking at other subdomains, to see if they last before trusting them.

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag: 1 year ago • hometown (AP)

@cy OK — so a community-based, third-level domain, based on a donated second-level domain? Yeah, I see how that would hit (probably secret) limits on Let's Encrypt, since as far as they're concerned, the donated domain is all one administrative unit. 😑

I can't really argue with the racket point. Lots of things online are that way; some always have been (I'm old enough to remember when you had one vendor for domain names, and they were IIRC 35USD/year), some have slowly become so (self-hosting).

@Cy

Cy 1 year ago • ActivityPub

Nothing stopping the US government from giving everyone legal.name.us for free. They wouldn't even have to run DNS servers, just say the names can't be sold.

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag: 1 year ago • hometown (AP)

@cy The namespace collisions on that are too damn high. I know multiple people with the same name (to say nothing of the five distinct Moore families to which I am adjacent 😅).

Strictly speaking, there used to be a somewhat similar parallel to what you say; a non-profit of which I was acquainted used to have a domain under (IIRC) gen.mn.us (gen = general I think?), but that delegation fell by the wayside before the organization dissolved.

It's sad; the internet could have been different. 😕

@Cy

Jima :Compromise_bi_flag: 1 year ago • hometown (AP)

@cy Oh, as an aside, have you looked into eu.org? I forget the exact process for requesting delegation of subdomains, but I am the delegate for two state codes under us.eu.org, and could probably be convinced to try and request/manage another if that would benefit you. 🤔

(Thanks for making me realize I don't have a web page up to make clear that I can subdelegate domains under those two state subdomains...something to work on when I have some downtime, I suppose! 😀)

@Cy

Cy 1 year ago • ActivityPub

Yeah I uhh totally made you realize that, yep all part of my master plan heh heh

I've been looking at eu.org, and dns.he.net. If I don't miss my guess, he.net is a free DNS server, but you still need to pay the registrar to get the root servers to use it?

eu.org looks pretty fantastic, and I've never heard of it before (go figure). Might just sign up for that, if they don't throw a gotcha in at the last minute.

Cy 1 year ago • ActivityPub

Hey thanks, you can send email to the domain of my instance here, at whatever username. I'll enable fromjima for a bit, if you want to get past the junk filters. I can receive email though, just not from those particular businesses. Kind of sad getting all these emails from local mailing lists I can't participate in anymore.

My mom could get emails from anywhere except her bank (Chase), Fred Meyers, and Microsoft which my sister uses for email. My server stopped getting emails only from those companies (that I know of) while getting email from everywhere else. I ended up having to get my mother a Microsoft email, giving them her phone number, so that's why Microsoft stopped sending me mail, if that's not obvious. Dunno about the others.

Story idea: a poltergeist tries screwing around with an ADHD'er who lives alone. Moving objects around, opening the cabinets, the usual.

After months of this, the poltergeist realizes the ADHD'er has been blaming themselves for all the occurrences

It's only when the poltergeist starts helping the ADHD'er that the real fright begins

(but then that settles down and they become weird friends)

I think this is the first track I've actually used my Roland SC-88VL SoundCanvas on (the pan flutes). Felt it was appropriate for that 90s computery feel.

Another thing I did was I bit-crunchified the high frequencies of the drums to fill in the space above 11Khz. A lot of the samples I used only had a 22Khz sample rate. The aliasing effect is similar to one you'd sometimes hear on old computers/soundcards.

Finally, the FM bass line sound is an RYM2612 patch that I grabbed directly from the Metropolis Zone vgz file from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. The RYM2612 is an emulation of the YM2612 that's in some Sega Genesis/Megadrives.
