Welp, since yesterday's post asking questions about using OpenDMARC with Postfix got, basically, crickets, I am led to the conclusion: nobody uses OpenDMARC with Postfix.

So let me ask instead:

• Is your Postfix configured to reject mail from outsiders pretending to be you?
• Is your Postfix configured to reject messages that fail DMARC?
• If so how?

If you worked at #Google and committed a security violation just a minuscule percentage of what Trump's team did on Signal, your corp account would be deactivated, your badge confiscated, and you'd be led out the door permanently before you could say "Gemini".

DHS/ICE didn't even exist when I was in high school. It's not an ancient and storied pillar of our society. We were fine before it existed, and we'd be fine if we abolished it.

I can’t believe these VC funded idiots are creating an enormous corporate Torment Nexus!

We will fight this in the only way we know how…

@cstross DO NOT CREATE THE TORMENT NEXUS is a valid INTERCAL statement (any dialect, from the original 1972 to all the modern ones)¹.

Does your favourite language have a native way to say the same thing?

¹ It is of course a no-operation.

The fact that the head of the CIA, DNI, NSA and VPOTUS were all on this chat thread and never interjected to say "Team, WTF are you doing? This is not a secure channel and these conversations do not happen here. Do I make myself clear?" is a damning indictment of their fitness for service.

The key takeaway from the Signal scandal is that no matter where in this planet or which industry you work, incompetent men incessantly fail upwards while being excused for their most awful mistakes, while top performing women get harassed for sending emails.

‘Miller, the Trump confidant, effectively ended the conversation by saying that the president had been clear. “Green light, but we soon make clear to Egypt and Europe what we expect in return.”

Broadly, the administration’s policies on Europe are coming into focus. And there are few stepping up to voice backing for Nato or for Europe writ large.’

‘On a podcast interview this weekend, the senior Trump envoy Steve Witkoff mused about the potential for the Gulf economies to replace those of Europe. “It could be much bigger than Europe. Europe is dysfunctional today,” he said.

Tucker Carlson, the host and another Trump confidant, agreed. “It would be good for the world because Europe is dying,” he said.’
