  1. Moving away from WordPress – important* info

    When I started this blog in 2017, I picked WordPress almost at random, just so I could get started with something. And it has worked well enough.

    But:

    • it’s not cheap
    • it’s a pain to make layout adjustments
    • the post editor is clunky and sluggish
    • WordPress.com sites are at least partially hosted in the US.

    Because my blog is essentially a static website (comments section aside), I’ve decided to switch to a static site generator (Eleventy/Build Awesome) and a fully European web hosting provider (statichost.eu), which offers a free tier for small sites like mine.

    How this might affect you

    If you follow the blog, this will be the last post you’ll be notified about. After that, there will be:

    • no more email updates
    • no more WordPress notifications
    • no more Mastodon cross-posting.

    If you still want to hear from me

    The transponderings blog is not dead, and I do plan to post from time to time (when my AuDHD brain allows!).

    You will be able to:

    • visit transponderings.blog as before
    • follow/discuss/support the blog on Ko-fi
    • follow the blog and get notifications using an RSS newsreader.

    Thank you so much for supporting my blog. ☺️

  8. Will the newsletter have silly retro food links? What about disturbing animations that look like a nightmare you had as a kid? Probably, but best visit the link below to be sure. 👀

    Staring at these 😜

  10. I'm interested in starting an occasional e-mail #newsletter to keep in touch with people who like my #TTRPG books. I'd like to avoid #proprietary solutions like #MailChimp.

    Does anyone have experience running an #opensource #selfhosted #mailinglist manager they would like to share? What would you recommend?

    (I am experienced in #Linux and I already have a self-hosted VM).

  11. Just an occasional reminder that I also send out a newsletter. Aside from releases and videos, I have been known to find goth links about festive graveyards and go on tangents about Chuck E. Cheese. 🐭🧀

  12. "Nettime has been widely recognized for its seminal role stimulating and disseminating ideas about Netzkritik or Net Critique, net.art, and tactical media and pioneered practices such as "collaborative filtering"."

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nettime

    The internet mailing list Nettime was created in 1995, 30 years ago.

  13. DKIM Fachfrage an Postmaster:innen

    Ist das Verhalten korrekt, dass mein Mailserver eine Mail ablehnt, die von mir über eine Mailinglist an n Personen (inkl. mir) gesendet wurde und dann über die Mailingliste mit meiner Mailadresse als fiktiver Absender verteilt wird?

    Ich hätte bis gestern gesagt: Ja, sonst ist Phising und Spam zu stark vereinfacht und mein Server rejected diese Mail aus gutem Grund als nicht authentifiziert.

    Laut Mailinglistenbetreiber sind meine DKIM Settings fehlerhaft und deshalb würde diese Mail, die vom Mailinglisten-Server unter meiner Identität versendet wird, abgelehnt.

    Ich habe ehrlicherweise schon lange keine Mailingliste mehr aktiv benutzt, aber meine mich zu erinnern, dass die an die Mailingliste versendeten Mails immer unter der Identität der Mailingliste selbst verteilt wurden.

    Es ist auch so, dass eine Antwort an zu einer Direktmail an den ursprünglichen Absender führt und nicht an die Mailingliste. Damit bekommt der Rest der Personen im Verteiler gar nichts von der Diskussion mit (wenn nicht Antworten an Alle genutzt wurde).

  14. Then, a couple of months later, I get spam from a seller trying to get me to buy knockoff designer handbags, or a Nigerian prince trying to secret his fortune away, or something else odious.

    But look -- the email was sent to the address "[email protected]"!

    Now I know, with absolute certainty, that this spammer got my address, directly or indirectly, from Crappy Tire. Maybe they sold their mailing list far and wide. Maybe their systems were hacked and every customer's email was exfiltrated.

    I can now take action. If I think they sold my address, I can write a nastygram referencing their privacy policy or Canada's PIPEDA act, or Europe's GDPR, or whatever. If I think my address was stolen from their systems, I can report the security incident to them, or publicize it so others know it may have happened to them.

    And most importantly, I can disable that email address. Just refuse all mail sent to it. It's no longer of use to spammers or crooks. If I ever deal with Crappy Tire again, I give them a new unique address.

    Anyway, that's a lot of backstory. I use this technique extensively. I have caught many, many companies selling/renting their mailing lists in violation of their own policies. I have caught many others that have been hacked, and they didn't even know it.

    So what's the thing that happens to me occasionally regarding this?

  16. When you #unsubscribe from #mailinglist, they always say it might take a week to 10 days. I didn’t know #batch #processing was a thing anymore.

    What, are they running #email off of #MVS mainframes?
