Well, tuta encrypts at rest as well, meaning the data is encrypted in their storage even when the emails sent and received are not using their secure/confidential encryption.

Realistically, any secure email system with encryption is going to require extra steps by the recipient. Having them click a link and enter a password isn't that cumbersome in my opinion (versus dealing with pgp keys and such)

I have used both. Both are good. Tuta doesn't support pgp as people said, but I think you'll find that the amount of people you will interact with that can and want to use pgp encrypted email is slim.

The way tuta works is you can send and receive regular email. And when you send it encrypted, the recipient gets a regular email that's says something like"you received a confidential email" (you can edit the text). That person then follows a link in the email and you need to provide them with a password (ideally you provide this password out of band... by text or chat or something... but you can of course just send by regular email).

After they log in, they are basically on a limited web interface to tuta where they can only exchange emails with you (but they can see every email between the two of you in their "inbox).

It's a pretty good system. There is also encrypted calendar and contacts. They have webmail of course and also apps. There's a dedicated calendar app.

Mailbox.org is actually more of a full office suite at this point. The web interface isn't as tight and can be confusing. They can handle your pgp keys or you can do it yourself. You need to decide if you care about trusting someone else with your keys. I actually still have my mailbox.org address because I like the domain. It forwards to my tuta email.

Oh yeah, tuta also allows you to use any of a number of their domains or you can bring your own (pricing may vary). They also have aliasing and catch-all addresses for custom domains.

Both are based in Germany for what it's worth. German privacy laws are pretty strict. For any law enforcement to be granted access to any of your stuff there needs to be a court hearing. They have a warrant canary and transparency report here https://tuta.com/blog/transparency-report .

Also, because tuta is end to end encrypted, all they can release is encrypted data. There's is more of an explanation at the bottom of that transparency report post about what can be requested and what data they even have on users. Mailbox.org might have similar policies but I haven't taken the time to find them.

One thing I will note is that tuta has HSTS enabled I believe so if you're behind a corporate firewall that does certificate snooping by way of MITM when you try to access, it won't connect.

Here is some good reading. We used it in an upper level philosophy course by the same name

I'll go ahead and toast you on this one.

I don't think you're understanding. The testing they did was presumably fine and the performance hit is probably unacceptable. But mentioning but not testing the scenarios of

  • app installed but not running
  • app installed and running but overlay turned off

Is kinda mailing it in.

Thanks this is really interesting. Literally hadn't heard of this before.

Can you explain this? Never heard of it.

I too have been hoping for his usual fascist, use-then-discard tendencies to kick in.

We did not vote overwhelmingly for him. He barely won.

Smart lighting.

Specifically Philips Hue with the switches that look like normal switches/dimmers.

The bulbs are pricey but I've had some of them for 10-15 years. Still going strong.

I guess you didn't bother with any of the story lines then?

 

Let’s see the poorly generated art, the “self driving” failures, and THE HANDS!

This was from around 3 weeks ago. I pretty religiously (pun intended) blocked and reported ads from the "hegetsus" fundie christian bs group for probably 6-8 months. Naively I thought it actually started making a difference.

Then I just get served an ad from them with a little note that this was "Posted from a blocked account".

"Blocked"... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

 

Review embargo lifted. No spoilers in this post. Probably spoilers in the links below. Here's a few:

A bold shift to action and a stirring fantasy tale make this the best Final Fantasy in ages.

For the first time in years, I’m excited about a new mainline Final Fantasy game. It’s about time.

GameSpot: https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/final-fantasy-16-review-on-its-own-terms/1900-6418081/

FFXVI is a bold shift in both gameplay and narrative, yet captures the Final Fantasy magic in stunning fashion, earning a place within the pantheon of incredible entries in the beloved franchise.

9/10

‘Final Fantasy XVI’ Is a Messy, but Quietly Brilliant Next Step for Square Enix’s RPG Series

Destructoid: https://www.destructoid.com/reviews/review-final-fantasy-xvi/

Superb - A hallmark of excellence. There may be flaws, but they are negligible and won't cause massive damage.

9/10

IGN: https://www.ign.com/articles/final-fantasy-16-review

Outstanding story, characters, and worldbuilding earn the right to depart from what fans expect from Final Fantasy.

Amazing - Featuring fast, reflex driven, action heavy combat, Final Fantasy 16 is certainly a departure from what fans may expect out of a Final Fantasy game, but its excellent story, characters, and world building are right up there with the best the series has to offer, and the innovative Active Time Lore feature should set a new standard for how lengthy, story-heavy games keep players invested in its world.

9/10

I know that guy who supposedly popularized the term wouldn't necessarily agree with Steely Dan as Dad Rock, but to me it fits the bill.

 

Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.

Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.
