fusilli but i pronounce it F. U. Silly

yeah, I know. that why I want to do it.

Yeah, my plan will be to use a domain that I don't actually use for my email to start with, make sure that I can reliably send and receive mail with it. Then add my normal email domain for sending-only to start, will just need to add it to my spf and dkim records. Once I test with that and verify that I can reliably send mail then I can fully switch things over.

Still trying to decide what do do about full disk encryption.

Thinking that maybe I can host a decryption key on private github repo, have the preboot environment use a local key to download the decryption key to ephemeral storage and use it to unlock the disk. This doesn't make it truly secure because anyone with access to the boot partition could figure out what is happening and do it manually. but it would make it difficult enough that a bored sysadmin at the vps provider couldn't just browse me data easily.

I'd really like it better if I could have it send me a push notification to my phone to authorize the unlock. Maybe I can set that up with how ever I decide to host the decryption key.

Toying with the idea of running my own email server. Lots of people say this is a bad idea.

Been doing lots of research. I have a VPS for it already and want to set it up with postfix, dovecot, roundcube, and mariadb.

I don't want to host locally because I don't want it to depend on my internet connection and because my ip address will likely change at some point and most residential IPs are blacklisted.

But also don't want to host it on someone else's machine unless I can totally encrypt the drive. I have been looking at how to do full drive encryption on a vps hard drive by adding dropbear ssh to the initsys so I can ssh in and enter the decryption password when rebooting.

This also doesn't seem ideal, because it would require me to be available to do this for every reboot.

So still researching to see what other options there are.

I thought they got rid of the iguana mascot.

I guess they realized that it was the best thing about their brand.

I really like and use fastmail.

Although I have just started to try to completely de-google. Its a bit frustrating that they don't offer an apk download. I put in a ticket today saying as much.

They seemed to understand,but basically just said that all I can do is to use the browser version.

I'm using aurora store to download their official google play version for now but it feels icky.

They are obviously now the only ones that I am having trouble with but I thought that they might be more willing to help people distance themselves from Gmail and Google, as Gmail is their obvious competition.

Doesn't turn 2fa into 1fa?

I like to know that even if someone got into my bitwarden vault they would still not be able login to my most important stuff.

I signed up for a Hotmail account in 1997. I told my mom and she freaked out. She heard hot-male.

breast answer?

You can diddle yourself 6 days a week, but on THE LORD'S DAY you have to go to church to get diddled.

Top shelf of a walk in closet that was obscured from view from the door.

Under a futon couch.

On the roof of the house in the angled portion where 2 downward slopes come together.

In the back of a truck in the back yard.

In the middle of a grassy area behind our garage

My parents used to wake me up at 4:30 in the morning to take a cold shower and then spend the next 4 hours doing religious worship. The only time I could read "Horrible secular books" like Mutiny on the Bounty, the three musketeers, and the man in the iron mask was late at night after everyone went to bed. I would stay up till 2:30-3:00am sometimes reading and I knew waking up at 4:30 was just not gonna happen.

Yeah, I got in a bunch of trouble when I came out of my hiding spot the next morning, but sometimes it was worth it.
