I run a personal mail server on OpenBSD and I love it.
The one big problem I've run into is sending emails to mail servers running the Proof Point blocklist. They have my IP blocked, and there seems to be no way whatsoever to get it unblocked.
Maybe you need to have an enterprise account with them for them to even listen to you.
I, too, have issues specifically with recipients sitting behind Proofpoint setups. My IP isn't blocked per se, it's just not "trusted" because I don't send enough, so it's permanently stuck in "new untrusted sender" purgatory. I can't even return responses to e-mails that were sent to me from behind Proofpoint. At this point I consider Proofpoint a completely counterproductive piece of garbage product.
That's their cost for a dedicated "clean" transit. At $15/mo you're just sharing tenancy with everyone else, using their SMTP setup together with everyone else. I'm running my own setup for a handful of domains, my own configurations, signing procedures, filters, features, aliases and catchalls etc. Incidentally almost all spam I receive comes in via Gmail, Yahoo and Hotmail.
What matters is how inbox providers look at the source IP. At least delivery services have higher chance by filtering obvious outgoing spam than a rogue server IP.
My problem isn't the network I'm originating from. It's a) that Proofpoint doesn't track "state" (message-IDs) between outbound and returning e-mail, and b) that I don't send regularly enough to be a "familiar".
downturns are more due to the different timescale between investments and business cycles / market saturation. Current Market returns are due to previous allocated capital, investor chase past results hoping the trends continues, but market saturation or other shocks happens, scaring investor who rush to liquidate their positions, cratering the prices. Companies to keep certain profitability levels in the short term cut costs to the extreme, slowing growth/expansion and laying off workforce. IMHO to contain bubbles and busts, a lot more business/market data should be aviable to make informed investment decisions and make long term investment fiscally advantageous compared to shorter holdings
You definitely need at least an ID, and often times they'll want a bigger cash deposit than you might expect, and even then they discourage it/many hotels do not allow it.
Absolutely. When you make the choice to become a whistleblower, you are making the decision that the information you have is more important than your personal freedoms.
Any major US news publication or the EFF would have put their legal team to work protecting him. He could have fled to a friendly country like France that has strong civil liberty protections. He could have gone to a neutral country like Switzerland. Instead of trying any of these things, he went right to Russia and horse traded information for protection - which plays a lot more like an asset coming home than a legitimate whistleblower.
Poking a rights-violating government in the eye by exposing their rights violations, and then asking that government to protect your rights, isn't such a genius move.
Running away and getting protection from a different rights-violating government that you haven't poked in the eye sounds quite a bit less masochist.
It's also common knowledge he didn't go directly to Russia but had his passport canceled by the US, leading to the Russian airport he was transferring through not letting him leave.
> When you make the choice to become a whistleblower, you are making the decision that the information you have is more important than your personal freedoms.
So it's wrong to expose a corrupt government without becoming a martyr? It's better to let the public to be fooled?
Not everyone thinks this way. Sometimes it matters, and sometimes it doesn't.
> he went right to Russia and horse traded information for protection
Do you have a source for the above statement?
It's my understanding that the U.S. revoked his passport while he was en-route to Ecuador, trapping him in Russia. I haven't heard that he gave the Russians any intelligence.
> He could have fled to a friendly country like France that has strong civil liberty protections. He could have gone to a neutral country like Switzerland
he could not [1]
> Instead of trying any of these things
he did try [1]
> horse traded information for protection
when he was in russia, he had nothing more to give them [1]
You have no idea how whisleblowers are treated in even the most democratic and rich countries. There are numerous examples of people becoming the enemy of the state and a fair trial never ever happened. The legal system does not apply for those.
> It seems to me that nothing else will stop the environmental destruction, in this case overfishing, which alone threatens us with empty oceans in 2040's.
There are two things I can say about this:
1) We won't (unless/until forced to).
2) There are other sources of destruction that will continue even if most people switched to a plant-based diet.
Animal ag is not just emissions, though ... it's much bigger beast. Also deforestation, biodiversity loss, eutrophication, soil erosion, water overconsumption, zoonotic diseases, overfishing, reforestation potential of pastures ...
Estimates of just emissions from animal ag are somewhere between 14.5-26%.
All transport is 16.2% (road 11.9%, aviation 1.9%, shipping 1.7%, rail 0.4%).
