    Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims

    If you guys could "design" a privacy and security focused mail provider, what features would it have?

    Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims

    The idea should also be that the provider does not want to keep those emails. If I have the mails on a server this isn't good. The mails should be on the server until the client downloads them, and then they should be gone.

    well on both of those i can login with a new browser using user + password, and then the mails are decrypted and i can read them. Encrypted as in i have the private key and the provider does not.

    Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims

    Is there a email provider like this? That is designed to not store emails (or at least not plain text) as well as logs? I understand that IMAP doesn't work this way (pop3 does), but as pretty much all large providers store mails for only one person and not groups of people (read: companies that...

    Just looked at the website, in a nutshell thats the same thing just not self hosted I think.

    buy a typewriter then. There are ways to determine from the sound of it what you are typing. Don't use computers :P Everything has security flaws, we just don't know it yet. Open Source is still the right approach to minimizing those. If you refer to xz that wasn't in there for years. The guy...

    I think you / we have to rethink how "I wrote" is defined. If you put notes into chatgpt, and it converts that into a well readable text, and then you read it and correct it here and there, then you still wrote it imho. "Write me a blogpost about cd", then not proof reading it and then...

    Say Hello to Goodbye Mails: Temporary Disposable Email Accounts for Creating Accounts

    Well my article is written specifically to avoid that. Although, other than setting up the mail system, which looks like its a full fledged mail system (has all the DNS records required to look like a normal mailserver), there is no website or similar. I kinda thought about that but didn't want...

    Say Hello to Goodbye Mails: Temporary Disposable Email Accounts for Creating Accounts

    yes, of course, to fight spammers. I don't get this one. You mean spammers using burnmail accounts? To be honest I'm a bit on a path to bury SMTP. Its broken in my opinion and we should stop fixing it. It should be replaced by something that has proper encryption to begin with. Half of the...

    I'd still take it easy. Google can "punish" your ranking and its annoying to recover from that. But as said, pretty much everything is written with, or at least re-written by some LLM.

    Why Your VPN May Not Be As Secure As It Claims

    Well a VPN also makes you "pseudo"nymous, because lots of other people use it. You can setup a VPN with wireguard rather easily and host it for as little as 4 euros per month with something like a hetzner cloud server. But then you have to keep it secure yourself. I don't think thats worth the...
