clan··on How to Run Your Own Mail Server (2017)
In my experience live.com was an easy fix.

But gmail was not. Even as a business user with support.

Gmail rejects me as an ugly spammer at the gate when using IPv6 but not when using IPv4.

My IP addresses are not listed in any public blacklists.

And the Borg hivemind is not able to tell me why. Gmail support is friendly but have no knowledge of their filter nor an escalation path.

The amusing part is they reject me as a bulk sender. But when I register into their bulk mailer program my volume is too low.

This is with strict SPF, DKIM, DMARC and registered with dnswl.org.

I am running FreeBSD on their VServer (and dedicated) too.

Anyone know if the rescue system is available on the cloud offering as well? (So alternate OS can be installed)

And do the "cloud" have the same painful setup with the gateway outside the subnet?

Cheapest plan is DKK 19 (EUR 2,5 / USD 3) with everything metered.

Take it like that if you will. There is a distinction between considering something dishonest and flat out lies.

You do however not indicate any interest in discussing the finer points.

This is already too far into the realm of flame wars. I apologize to those who had to endure. I got caught up: Someone on the Internet was wrong!

Have a nice weekend!

You hit the point accurately. But misses why the discrimination is both warranted and needed.

We do not trust those either.

With the recent progress in Firefox they had a really good position to win users back. A key driver would be getting away from Google (Chrome) who wants your data.

That driver has now been reduced. They have taken the lower road.

Neither do I trust YCombinator with this data. Or anyone else...

So why trust company X? The point being: I do not.

Thank you for your software but please do not use it as leverage for getting my data.

No abuse here. I honestly think you are missing the point of what is upsetting people.

Nothing in your full quote makes it any more palatable.

No matter how nice your intentions are. No matter how transparent you are. No matter how sincere your wish to contribute to a greater common good is. Do not... Do not... Do simply not collect my browsing data. They are not yours to have.

Whatever excuse is brought to the table I will take it as dishonesty. It can come as no surprise that even the slightest privacy concerned users will take offense of this. They simply hope it will fly under the radar of the common users - because "we do good".

(Please do not take the "yours" as a personal attack - english is my second language - some nuance has been lost in translation)

Same here. Trust is hard to earn but easy to loose.

Love those references. If you have not seen it yet go watch Sneakers (1992). I am getting old - I remember when it was fresh :-)

Pennies saved on education. Cutting out 6 months of basic training.

We live in a world managed by spreadsheets. Common sense is not in vogue.

clan··on E-commerce will evolve next month as Amazon loses the 1-Click patent
Because I would need to detect the fraud first. And fraudsters tend to be clever!

I hardly ever use cash anymore so my bank statements have a lot of action going on.

How closely do you monitor those?

clan··on E-commerce will evolve next month as Amazon loses the 1-Click patent
That only makes it slightly better. It is still stored at payment provider. Hopefully they are better at safeguarding my data.

But if I only supplied a token. with a value I determined I would not have to worry.

clan··on E-commerce will evolve next month as Amazon loses the 1-Click patent
Yes - exactly. And with a specified amount so I am safeguarded from anu surprises.

I have never seen a service like that - so (I think) it is mainly on your side of the pond.

clan··on E-commerce will evolve next month as Amazon loses the 1-Click patent
I have always hated the thought that retailers stored my credit card information. Seems to be very common with US based shops.

If this gets any traction I will need to fight even harder to opt out.

I yearn for the day I can have one off transaction codes.

clan··on Biggest amateur-built sub sinks – owner is suspected of killing passenger
Yes. With himself as the first passenger.
clan··on Cloudflare starting to enable DNSSEC automatically for .dk domains
Cloudflare has an absolute stellar interface for handling DNS. I have used many paid services as well but they all lag hugely behind Cloudflare in terms of usability. Really good to see them stay on top of their game.

A few of the other big players do have reasonable interfaces but we are currently seeing quite a centralization of services. I hope more players in this field will up their UX/UI game as I much prefer diversity in the market.

clan··on Sunsetting SixXS
Local ISPs still (stupidly) claim that there is no demand for IPv6 so I will surely miss them. I really appreciate the stable service they have provided over the years.
clan··on Apple sues user to avoid refund due to used parts
Apple uses used parts to repair a phone under warranty. The user complains and The Danish Consumer Complaints Boards unanimously decides that he should get a full refund. Apple now sues the user to avoid the refund.

clan··on Ask HN: Is web programming a series of hacks on hacks?
This is the crux of the matter. Surprised how few of the comments which addresses this.

Just look at how many JS frameworks which have a "router" component. So rather than navigating documents you end up faking that we navigate documents. Wonder why things are getting so hard?

Look at how many have difficulties in distinguishing what REST is supposed to be and RPC. Both have a place - but many look for the "one" solution and ends up using something they call REST in a RPC style.
