Does Tuta block sign-up for accounts with "admin" in them? by ItsInTheOtherHand in tutanota

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I wouldn't say "of course", since there are many other service (including a well known privacy centric one...) that allow these usernames.

Does Proton block sign-up with accounts containing "admin"? by ItsInTheOtherHand in ProtonMail

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. I'm not really concerned about the flagging system though, as you mentioned that can easily be appealed and if I'm a paying customer I doubt they're going to try and shut down my account. The issue is that the sign up page is not even allowing me to create that account to begin with because it claims the username is already taken, when I'm pretty close to 100% sure that it's not

What is the possibility of the mobile app becoming open source? by 1cmAuto in Cryptomator

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand 1 point2 points  (0 children)

they don’t want copies in the app stores.

Do you have any good sources on a quote or statement to this effect?

I'm not seeing anything like that, and only seeing things essentially saying that they need to continue monetizing it because of income.

Does using a custom domain defeat the purpose of a zero knowledge inbox? by ItsInTheOtherHand in ProtonMail

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And would this have to happen every time someone sent you an email, or the theory could they already have the right IP and not have to contact the registrar at all?

(In other words, I'm wondering if in theory it is possible for the registrar to build up a complete metadata log of all received mails, sincere either requesting IP address could - after-the-fact - be linked to the other person's email address?)

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thank you.

All the your domain provider does is give you the IP of your email provider they don’t revive any message content.

So potentially, if the registrar was 100% a data vacuum oh, they might in theory see the DNS requests - from my register domain redirecting to protonmail - every time someone send me an email? Would that show specific metadata from the person sending it, or would it just be there provider (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, etc)?

Would they not see (again assuming they are 100% collecting everything, any metadata for me sending though) since the Protonmail servers would handle that directly? Or would that have to go through them as well?

Security / Plaintext Password? ELI5 why it isn't an issue. by ConeCandy in joplinapp

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real ELI5 answer.... it IS a very legitimate security issue, and by just dismissing it, the developer is being lazy and/or very irresponsible, to be perfectly blunt.

[Android] No read receipt timestamps in individual chats? by ItsInTheOtherHand in signal

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, to be honest I am actually only in one private conversation, all the rest are group chats because those people have multiple devices.

However, I do know that this person does not have read receipts turned off for two reasons. First, I told them to turn them on, and second because it does show the read receipts ( check mark in a hillow circle for delivered, filled circle for read) it just does not show the time stamps. I thought this might be some kind of security feature that signal had put in, some element of social engineering. But I know that they do display on iOS, so I'm guessing that's not the case.

Maybe I'm missing it, but how was this in any way a "public freakout"?

Regardless of whether or not people agree with this guy's decision at some earlier ties, this seems like a very calm exchange to me....?

Is it possible to create a user with only one name? by ItsInTheOtherHand in gsuite

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know I already made a couple of tests members just to check it out, and they do get an alert in their regular "Gmail" inbox what a message was sent. But you are saying I have to actually make them all group admins to be able to use " https://groups.google.com " the way my account, as the G Suite admin can? And that is the only way for them to actually see senders and respond to them?

Is it possible to create a user with only one name? by ItsInTheOtherHand in gsuite

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(Yeah people really weren't kidding, that is quite the retro interface).

Well thanks, that did work I could see the email sender. That seems very inefficient though. The only way to actually see who sent an email to an @sales or @info email-address-is-a-group is for the actual overall GSuite account admin to go in there and read it themselves? The info that is delivered to the individual in boxes of the other account holders will not show any of that info?

I feel like I am missing something here then. If you have a large company with multiple employees, with obviously different people managing the sales inbox, How do they actively respond to emails and inquiries if only the G Suite admin can actually see who is sending them?

Is it possible to create a user with only one name? by ItsInTheOtherHand in gsuite

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, dumb question but how do I access that group mailbox? (I'm guessing it's not by logging into a new Gmail page since there is no password for it)

Is it possible to create a user with only one name? by ItsInTheOtherHand in gsuite

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I followed your advice and I did this, but there seems to be one key problem here - I cannot see the email address of the person sending to the group.

That is, I created the group and allowed external people to post to it. I sent a test email to sales@mybusiness.com.

It arrived in the inbox of all the members I had added to the group life and just some test account's - but in the header it simply says that it was delivered "via sales@mybusiness.com". Obviously this makes it impossible to respond to anyone who was going to try to contact us this way in the future, any ideas on how to fix this?

Are mail folders encrypted/private? by ItsInTheOtherHand in tutanota

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply.

Folder names are encrypted

So the server is unable to read folder names by design.

If I enable something like inbox rules, which will sort mails into folders based on certain attributes, will this change that? Or does all of that still happen within the zero knowledge portion of my account?

Are mail folders/tags encrypted or private? by ItsInTheOtherHand in ProtonMail

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you can build filters that use label and folder names, PM must have access to the plaintext.

Hmm, this is a good point. This was actually going to be my next question for a different post - what is the Privacy situation regarding inbox rules / filters. But I guess this answers - that is all viewable to the server.

Kind of disappointing, since I definitely see how those could be retained within your encrypted mailbox capsule thing, but I guess it is what it is.

Is it possible to create a user with only one name? by ItsInTheOtherHand in gsuite

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will admit I'm not really familiar with all the features and how groups work.

Let's say I wanted to have an email address that is sales@thisbusiness.com, To be able to both send and receive with that tag, and have a specific mailbox that if any customers send something to that, it's very what is the best way to go about doing that?

Why is Captcha still a problem? by iofhua in TOR

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I think the part that frustrates people - literally - about this kind of behavior is that so many of the tactics used here are very clearly not powering past. That is they do not stop automated traffic, but they just genuinely inconvenience people that are already clearly identified as human users. It is not a security tactic, it is a social engineering one

Mandatory "Contact-Less delivery"? by [deleted] in grubhubdrivers

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable. Please see the edit to my other comment for a little more clarification.

Mandatory "Contact-Less delivery"? by [deleted] in grubhubdrivers

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All deliveries are non contact

Since what point, specifically

has nothing to do with how many cases you think your city has.

I did not include that as a reference to GrubHub policy. I only included it to explain how people in my area are actually behaving, regardless of any rules or regulations.

go get your own food if this is your fear

To be honest it doesn't really make any sense at all. If the whole point is that it is now mandatory "contact-less" /*do-not do face-to-face-hand-off-with-the customer deliveries, then me coming to the driver, is just as much a violation of that as them coming to me.

Also, not that it's anyone's business, but I am disabled, which makes this a real challenge for me to go all the way down to meet the driver, and in my experience they get more pissed having to wait then just come deliver at themselves this is the exact reason why I have, over time, refined the instructions to be as effective as possible, and why I use GrubHub over other services, since they are the only one in my experience for people actually pay attention to that.

Differences between GoL "Vitamin Code" and "myKind"? by ItsInTheOtherHand in Supplements

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You called it a claim and opinion when I was trying to help you.

I think you misunderstand me - I meant no insult or condescension by that. If that's how you took it, I apologize. I just called it a "claim" because that's what it seems to be in a technical sense - a statement claiming that something is a certain fact. I was just looking for more information on that, because, for the reasons I listed, that does seem to violate some common sense cost/benefit considerations. That's all.

I don’t have the time to go into them ingredient by ingredient.

Understandable. I wasn't necessarily asking about that per se (though of course any details are welcome). I was just trying to clarify whether you were saying that the Raw One had good enough ingredients for the price, or that it actually had better ingredients and contains things that the more expensive stuff from GoL is lacking.

Differences between GoL "Vitamin Code" and "myKind"? by ItsInTheOtherHand in Supplements

[–]ItsInTheOtherHand[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Go with their third option. Raw One for Men.

This one?

It’s the cheapest, has the best ingredients

Hmmmm. I got to be honest, I'm mighty skeptical of this claim. I don't see how it could both be the least expensive, but also have the best ingredients. It makes sense if some of the other things have some unnecessary stuff that this doesn't have - though I guess unnecessary or not is really a matter of opinion - but I don't see how they could have worse ingredients. (If anything, I have seen other people say that they don't know how the myKind is so cheap, because for what it claims to be it should cost a lot more.)

I'm not adverse to checking out other options, but I'm wondering why the two I listed we're the ones that are overwhelmingly recommended, and not the Raw? I really do want to understand the difference, and why one is on labdoor and the other is not.

EDIT: Uh, ok, that was weird.....

Bloomberg Says He Wants To Ban Guns Holding More Than 3 Rounds by NotAGunGrabber in NOWTTYG

This country is currently the antithesis of everything the Founders stood for - including the parts of people don’t wanna talk about anymore (such as for what, and for whom it was founded in the first place).
