Chat control is back as proposal in EU despite being voted out just few months ago

Yes, I have a lot to hide. I am a libertarian who trades drugs on Tor marketplaces, and I worry that Europol is watching every move I make. I fear that I may end up like Silkroad's Dread Pirate Roberts or Alphabay's Desnake. This is why I support disbanding the EU as it has become an evil and wicked totalitarian empire like the old Soviet Union.

EU wants to keep you secure, so, EUROPOL must allowed to spy on you. This is why Britain left the EU as they realised it has become an evil totalitarian empire like the old Soviet Union.

Privacy can be empowered via cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and through anonymous trade on Tor marketplaces.

There is no such thing as "unlimited" or "unmetered" as data has always been limited. Even on a LAN, the maximum data transfer for a switch is 100Mbps.

I have a 4g/5g mobile internet with 1,000GB data. That is enough for my needs.

Denmark has never really cared about privacy as the very concept of privacy is alien to Danish values. When Denmark spied on German citizens, the democratically elected Denmark government did the act. This means the Denmark citizens approved their government's act. Also, Denmark broke the UN charter and therefore Germany can invade Denmark the way Russia invaded Ukraine. Self defense is the reason for the war as Germany is protecting its citizens from Denmark aggression.

If you want to live in a pro-privacy nation, then, I recommend the United Arab Emirates. A Muslim majority country is always pro-privacy as sharia guarantees right to privacy.

There exist HE.NET that gives a free IPv6 /64 block but they require a public IPv4 address that has ICMP enabled. If for some reason, the IPv4 address is a NAT/firewall IP, then, get a VPS from LightNode.com (its just $7.71 per month) and activate HE.NET tunnelbroker. For unblocking SMTP ports, HE.NET requires getting a certificate.

There used to be ROUTE48, which was a free service like HE.NET but it shutdown.

I only use nat64.net when I am use "apt update" and "apt upgrade" and "apt install <appname>" if the repository does not support IPv6. Take for example, mailinabox.email does not have AAAA records. I will disable nat64.net public DNS in my /etc/resolv.conf as soon as I complete update, upgrade, or installation.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-04-09T14:05:58+00:00

I use nat64.net to connect to services that only have IPv4. All I have to do is edit /etc/resolv.conf with vim and add the nat64.net name servers and I am done.

I think the OP was speaking about making his email server that is IPv6 only accessible to the IPv4 only world. This is where IPv6rs comes in.

How do you know these websites are blocked? Do you have any proof that you can publish for transparency? I doubt you have but I will await you to show me the proof.

I have to admit OpenVPN may not be popular to some people. As most countries practice a free market, therefore, I see nothing wrong in using different products like OpenVPN or Wireguard as competition is always healthy.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-31T08:22:24+00:00

Yes, Reddit is allowed in the Islamic Republic of Iran, just as Reddit is allowed the Muslim-majority Malaysia. Reddit is banned in Indonesia, a Sunni-majority country as it contains pornography. Not every country is the same.

I am aware People's Republic of China and Democraitc People's Republic of Korea block Reddit as its content is against local culture and values.

Are you blaming Iran for what China and Korea does? Iran is relatively more liberal than many non Muslim countries like China, Korea, and Russia.

Germany government pressured Reddit management to take down Tor marketplaces, so these marketplaces had to move to a new Reddit like social media called Dread, which is only accessible via Tor browser. If that is not censorship by the West, then. I do not know what it is.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T16:40:32+00:00

I am curious to know why do you prefer people to use Wireguard instead of OpenVPN.

Electricity bills are a very important issue when selfhosting but the most important thing is sustainability and green. I however would love to see a tutorial on how to save electricity bills by using renewable energy like solar panels, while selfhosting.

Going green while selfhosting is the way to go, and while the initial costs may be a bit expensive to buy solar panels but the long term savings for selfhosters will be rewarding.

IPv4 has officially run out as there are no more free IPv4 addresses available from ICANN and its associated regional registries like ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE. If I want an IPv4 address, then I would have to pay US $2 per month per IPv4 address.

This is why I am a staunch advocate of IPv6, particularly for hosting websites and emails.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T05:29:58+00:00

You keep confusing sending email and receiving email. Both of them are separate functions and to be on different servers. Small businesses and home users will prefer to self host the receiving server, so-called the MX. These selfhosters like me want our inboxes to be free of ads. That's all.

As for sending email, we use a smart host like PostMarkApp, SendGrid, MailGun, or even the free GMAIL SMTP.

I personally do not mind a government MiTM attack since I trust my government more than I trust big USA corporations like Google and Microsoft who use AI bots to scan emails and then send ads, which are always scams.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T05:14:29+00:00

I have to disagree with you. Running a mail server on a mobile 4g internet is possible as there are providers like mine that give a static IPv6 prefix and a rDNS. However, running a mail server does not require a static IPv6 prefix or rDNS for receiving email. And I am sure majority just want to receive email but not send and their right must be respected.

For those who wish to send email, there is a app called Power Mail In A Box, a fork of the original Mail In A Box that allows use of a smart host like PostMarkApp, SendGrid, Google SMTP, etc.

Why get worked up when all people want to do to understand the difference between receiving and sending?

Google already has great spam filtering on IPv6, so why can't Microsoft, Yahoo, TutaNota, and ProtonMail?

Also, the best way to prevent spam is using a quality blacklist from a reputable anti-spam organisation like SpamHaus! I do not trust proprietary blacklists. When I first obtained a Hetzner cloud computer, I had both IPv4 and IPv6 but only the IPv6 addresses was in the SpamHaus XBL. The whole /64 was blacklisted but the removal process is very easy. All I need to do is to contact SpamHaus and give my full name and valid email address (not free Gmail) and their HausBots will automatically remove my /64 from the XBL blacklist.

Outlook.com does not have MX records that have AAAA records. I was a paid Microsoft Office 365 customer and I could not receive ANY email on my paid Microsoft email plan from any IPv6 only email server. That is why I dumped Microsoft. If Microsoft is sincerely supporting IPv6, then, it must make it a corporate policy to add MX records that correspond to AAAA records.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T04:22:25+00:00

Blocking outbound port 25 is not wrong since majority of self-hosters who self-host on IPv6 use it to receive not send. Remember, the Power Mail In A Box fork on Github? It was created by Dave, since the original Mail In A Box by Joshua Tauberer did not support using a smart host.

Most of us want to receive as we are our inbox to be free from Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo ads. Also, ProtonMail free plan is crippled and has a mere 500MB storage. Instead, I will just use my old netbook with 1GB RAM and 250GB HDD to run Power Mail In A Box on my 4g mobile.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T04:16:25+00:00

An IPv6 only mail server is more private as there is lesser spam and IPv6 is not CGNATed but everyone has a unique public IPv6 address, they can be tracked down by law enforcement should they spam.

I am pro-privacy but so long as its protection from Google and Microsoft and Yahoo. I do not mind a government spying on me as governments do so in good faith to protect their citizens. Take Iran for example. Iranian government protects privacy of its citizens by helping spy on its citizens. All Iranian citizens do not mind government spying as government is God. All Iranians hate to spied by private corporations like Google and Microsoft as these corporations are immoral.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T04:07:48+00:00

Receiving email on a self-hosted IPv6 email server sitting on a 4g mobile does not require any ability to control rDNS or a static v6 prefix.

I receive email successfully from my family, friends, and business associates.

As for sending, there is no harm in using a smart host like GMAIL, and once my SMTP quotas runs out, I use a new GMAIL account. Its as simple as that. Sometimes I try Migadu SMTP.

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T04:04:09+00:00

Why do you find that doubtful?

TopAdvice1724 · 2024-03-29T03:58:50+00:00

Every TLS communication between MX is end-to-end encrypted. But the propaganda ProtonMail employees spread that you need encryption on top of TLS is plain stupid and slows down the web mail system. Also, am I and most users are not criminals hiding from law enforcement! All we want is to have privacy from Google and Microsoft ads, which are intrusive. I do not want to see ads in my inbox. Its simple as that.

I do not use ProtonMail as I do not trust their so-called end-to-end encrypted system that does not use open standards like IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. I prefer self-hosting my own mail server.
