     @aral i'd quite like the metaverse, though.

     Finally, a couple of you have reported not being able to add your site if it doesn’t load over a secure connection (TLS).

     That’s by design :)

     It’s 2022 and we should all be doing our best to encourage good practices. HTTP is not secure. It means people who visit your site could be hit with man-in-the-middle attacks.

     Thankfully, we have a free/automated way to implement TLS now with Let’s Encrypt.

     And servers like Site.js (https://sitejs.org) do it automatically for you.

     G’morning folks, how lovely to wake up and see the new signatures on the web0 manifesto

     (https://web0.small-web.org)

     By the way, if you are having trouble signing because your email server implements an archaic anti-spam technique called greylisting. I’m going to look into adding basic support for it but please also contact your email provider and remind them it’s 2022. Spammers have long worked around greylisting. Today, it just makes things harder for legitimate small web use cases.

     Also, some folks have mentioned on the fediverse that they don’t have a web site to link to… please feel free to use the link to your fediverse account (Mastodon, etc.)

     But please don’t link to people farmers like Twitter, Facebook, etc., or to sites with trackers from them.

     I’m going to look through the links today and contact you to see what we can do if any look problematic.

     @aral 95% of the spam my rspamd filters is prevented by greylisting. greylisting is perfectly fine if one implements SMTP correctly, which means that there will be multiple attempts to deliver mail.
     what really makes shit hard is stuff like dkim, spf, dmarc, because everyone has a different idea what is required and they make configuration of a mail server even harder.
     sorry for the rant.

     @gert @aral I have never seen an objection to cryptocurrency that had anything to do with the technical detail that cryptocurrencies make use of cryptography.

     @aral I keep seeing these obvious dichotomies and I just don't get it. Protesting against crypto coins but promoting and pushing TLS *everywhere* as if TLS is *not* crypto. I also sometimes see very subtle allusions made by others regarding your dichotomies that you seem to ignore, as if you are not aware of what you are doing.. Or if I had fiber at home, I would immediately and happily say goodbye to Hetzner. Etc. Maybe I'm missing something, dunno..

     @gert Dude, I’m just using TLS. I’m pretty sure there are more important things to get upset about.

     @aral Why can't you let people decide for themselves what they want to keep private and what public? Why force people to obey the authoritarian CA business? Why the arrogance when it comes to protecting the environment? Very disappointing imo.
