Re: Public visibility of Email Address and Spam 10 months ago

From Noam Preil to ~sircmpwn/public-inbox

My email is publicly visible on multiple sites
(including my own), and I've received one singular spam message to the
account _ever_, in the nearly two years I've used it.

It could just be that Migadu's spam filters are unusually good, but I
have it configured to filter to the spam folder, which. has exactly zero
spam entries in it right now.

That said, I've heard from others that they _did_ end up having to hide
their email on their own site to reduce spam, and that doing so
noticably reduced the rate at which they received it.

I'm just confused why I never get any, to be honest. I don't think I'm
doing anything _too_ unusual?

Re: Relicensing aerc to GPL 1 year, 5 months ago

From Noam Preil to ~rjarry/aerc-devel

Hi,

I don't remember contributing to aerc, but if I did, I'm totally okay
with relicensing my contributions.

And, I got the email, so I assume I"m in the history for some reason? :P

...Okay, I just checked - my only contribution was changing the IRC link
from freenode to libera.chat. There's no way that's even a copyrightable
change, so my approval is unnecessary anyways.

Still, sending this in the interest of making your life easier - you can
remove my name from the list of people whose approval is needed!

9front has features for more advanced sandboxing, including
auth/box, which allows specifying a full list of allowed drivers, and
constructing an arbitrary sandbox.

Imagine you have this directory structure:

foo/
	bar/
	baz/
		a.c

and foo/ is bound over foo/bar, such that foo/bar/baz etc is equal to foo/baz, and the real, on-disk directory foo/bar *cannot* be accessed.

I use Plan 9 as my primary personal operating system, and am writing this within it.
