The patented part is that you can have multiple email addresses for the same user, and a subset of them can provide challenge-response screening to filter automated messages. The patent is publicly available on the USPTO website.

I don’t have any plans to cease operations, and I have enough capital to continue operation without profit for several years. Hopefully by then I’ll be profitable, though!

I don’t actively monitor any of my users emails. The only things that would justify reading any user’s email is if they are exhibiting suspicious activity or another user reports them. As far as whether you can know that, unfortunately there’s nothing I can do to assure you other than put it in my terms of service and privacy policy. Any email service that receives emails unencrypted from other senders technically has the ability to read your emails, even ones like ProtonMail that then encrypt the email for storage.

Yeah, basically the plan is to offer a full business email service. Each of your employees would have their own “bare” address, which could then be decorated with their own labels. So an employee named John Doe could have johndoe-somevendor@awesome.com for communicating with Some Vendor.

I’ll also have available the standard features like mailing lists (like sales@awesome.com), user management, security and data retention policies, etc.

Any label you only want real people to send email to, you would enable screening, and they’ll get an autoreply with a link. Right now it’s just a link, but if I need to in the future, I could add a captcha.

Any label that you use for signing up somewhere, you wouldn’t enable screening, so that way they can send automated emails to you there. If you use an address for a label that doesn’t exist, it gets created as a “pending label”. Then you can approve or block it (or ignore it and it eventually gets deleted).

Some of us do just get thicker and thicker…

I completely understand. One thing I’m working on right now is custom domain support, so that you can either use yourname-labelname@yourdomain.com or even just labelname@yourdomain.com. That way if you ultimately decide to switch providers, you wouldn’t have to change all your email addresses. I’m hoping to have that available within the next few months.

It’s https://port87.com/. I’m still working to make it ready for business use, but it’s ready to use as your personal email. It’s really good for keeping your email organized, which is something I’ve always struggled with personally.

It’s behind a waitlist right now, but I send out invites about once a week.

As an owner of a competing email service, I’m primed to dislike Proton, but god damn, I just can’t. They’re an awesome company. I hope that in the coming capitalistic hellscape (wait, we’re already in a capitalistic hellscape), Proton is able to defeat the 70% market share behemoths of Gmail and Exchange.

I’m really glad to see they’re supporting Ladybird too. That’s such a cool project.

I basically always have a terminal open, but I use tmux instead of multiple tabs/windows. Drop down terminals never really interested me, because I do a lot of my actual work in the terminal, so a maximized window is way more convenient. Glad it’s working for you, though! I love that Linux has so many different workflows available, everyone can find something that works well for them, no matter how they work. :)

If you want the opposite of funny, anything recent by Roseanne Barr is the unfunniest drivel to ever be generously called standup. It’s like watching an angry boomer rage against everything that’s changed since they were a bigoted little shit, because that’s exactly what it is. If you’re also an angry boomer who hates everyone younger and/or smarter than you, you’ll probably like it.

Silo. It’s so fucking good. So are the books.

Because I don’t know Python.

If you want to waste bandwidth downloading the entire commit history, go ahead.

I use node as a calculator a lot. It can be dangerous, because it suffers from floating point errors, but it’s generally more powerful than a calculator if you know the Math lib well.

I know tmux is incredibly popular, but a good use case for it that isn’t common is teaching people how to do things in the terminal. You can both be attached to the same tmux session, and both type into the same shell.

degit is a tool that will check out a git repo (or a specific branch or commit), but not set it up as a git repo. Basically just downloading a specific commit to a directory.

Did you read my post?

It’s faster and has a different feature set. Also it’s written in Node.js, not PHP, so I can integrate it into my Node.js apps.

Neither of the servers you mentioned can work on a flat file system folder, so managing my Jellyfin media wouldn’t even be possible with either of them.

Neither supports file deduplication, encryption at rest, PAM authentication, or .htpasswd authentication.

Both require a database and can only be managed through their web interfaces.

Both of their web interfaces require modern browsers, so wouldn’t be supported on something like a terminal based browser.

No it’s not. It’s just a publicity stunt.

Oh, I didn’t answer your encryption question. It doesn’t support both deduplication and encryption at the same time. You can enable them both, but it won’t deduplicate.

It should support B2, since B2 uses the same protocol. If you run into any issues, feel free to file a bug report.

Thanks, I’ll check out Jekyll. If I can use the same templating, that would be great.

I’ve heard Obsidian is really good, but I’ve never used it. I’ll give it a try. :)

I’m going to add support for CardDAV, that way you can use it to sync your contacts. I’m currently working on the Access Control Protocol extension to WebDAV, which is required for CardDAV.

I’d like to eventually support CalDAV too, but that’s harder than CardDAV.

I’d like to also create another web interface with a more modern feature set for use in newer browsers, and even have file share links.

An idea I’ve been floating is creating a way to use .md files and .html templates to create a sort of blog, website, or notebook. Something that would be really easy to manage. Basically throw it up on a server, put some .md files in, and you’ve got a basic website. I’d like to use it to take notes, since editing markdown on a WebDAV share is super simple, and having searchable notes from that would mean I could drop Google Keep.
