- Chronosdreamreal: Which email service does BCN use to send authentication codes?
- dreamreallocal postfix. :(
- dreamrealThere's an upstream issue and I don't know why, I think
- dreamrealwere you trying to log in?
- Chronosdreamreal: No. Just curious.
- ChronosI'm not sure why you added :(
- dreamrealIt's a drag, because authing a local postfix sucks.
- ChronosYour emails seem reliable... fast, haven't landed in spam, etc.
- ChronosAh.
- dreamreal"Oh, you configured your OWN MTA? OBVIOUSLY A SPAMMER!"
- dreamrealIt's a constant race ahead of false positives.
- ChronosAh, that sucks :(
- ChronosThe world has managed to largely centralize email
- dreamreal... and made it nearly irrelevant. I'd be better off with SMS, but ew
- dreamrealI don't WANT people's phone numbers
- dreamrealPlus the SMS services suck
- ChronosI'm far less likely to give some rando website my phone number than I am my email address, for some reason
- ChronosI'm not sure if I'm being logical or not, heh
- dreamrealwell, your phone number is harder to anonymize
- dreamreallike, if I put my phone number out there, that's actually how to communicate WITH ME
- dreamrealI can't hide behind an alias
- dreamrealAnd should nevet get hacked, well, there are no password, but your identity is the email address; if your phone number is in there, too, that's a more direct violation
- dreamrealI don't think it's likely, nor would it be easy, but ... people saying that are the ones who get surprised the most when it happens, which is why nevet doesn't expose or track those things
- dreamrealeven the service passwords it uses are hidden
