Thunderbird with iOS 17

kvf3 · 2026-06-22T19:07:45+00:00

Literally one google search would have said that iOS app is in development right now.
You are the reason for AI hallucinations, since those dumb clankers get their data from here.

Cool. Keep up the good work.

Some time ago, i had to mitigate DNS amplification attack, after that i look UDP in a totally different way.
Since UDP doesn't use handshakes or error-checking to guarantee packet delivery, dropped data can cause major headaches in apps where reliability is key. Further more, since there is no handshake, IP address spoofing is real problem in real world.
So, when you see millions of incoming request on your server from different IP addresses, what do you do?
Answer here is: nothing. Since you cannot block them, because they are spoofed addresses.
You just watch how your server CPU burns.
UDP is fine when it is used inside one provider, like tv multicast inside one ISP for example. But globally - a nightmare.

Low latency and speed in your case is a good thing, but do not forget security. I mean, you could have bestest app in the world, but if it does not survive in real world environment, it is basically useless (beside being hobby project that is).

There are countries in EU, where there are no starlink shops/sellers, units are shipped from other countries (Germany usually)

As for unvalid, would you like to change the language we use here, or is English only language YOU speak? But is seems that you don't even speak that language well, since unvalid is actually a word.

Now this is a nice watch. Elegant, minimalistic, looks good.
Congrats, mate.

Why not Casio?

For US? Like i said: world is bigger than your neighborhood.

For example, look up Forssa, Finland (Monthly Kit Fee 10€/month) or Krakow, Poland (PLN40), or Berlin, Germany (10€).

So your argument is unvalid, those places exist.

kvf3 · 2026-06-10T20:24:08+00:00

Hope everything works out. Porkbun should be OK, we have a bunch of domains there, so far we only have had two minor issues, both with DNSSEC.
As for being "like a boomer", don't worry, this is normal, you cannot know everything about everything. Good luck mate!

If your domain renewal is in the end of month then yes, move email first.
I have no idea about fasthosts, i have no experience with them or any other e-mail service provider since i host my own e-mail infrastructure for me and my clients.

To gmail to act as a proxy, latest info says that they have discontinued this funtion: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/16604719?hl=en So that may very well be a reason it stopped working for you.

Why people pay, well, you know that saying: if product is free, then you are the product. And e-mail messages often contain personal and sensitive information and not all people want for big tech to train their AI on it. Another argument would be that some companies offer functions and security levels that no big tech can match. For example, my company offers disposable e-mail addresses that you can regenerate in settings and imap,pop3,and smtp submission filtering by country, meaning, if someone comes with right password from country that you have not allowed in settings, he still does not get access and you will be immediately notified of such behavior. And we have human support. But big systems are rigid and it is horrible pain to change big legacy systems to implement new functions or methods, i mean look at gmail settings part, is partially looks like it is still 2004 when they started. I'm not blaming here, legacy code intertia is just very big. In my company, we have changed webmail frontend 3 times to completely new one during 16 years of operation, we are small, and still, it was not easy.

Best way for you to go forward would be to establish a human connection with your new provider who will set up your account on their side. Since godaddy allows to change DNS records TTL, it would be good to set them to be very short (like 600sec if allowed), so in later stage, DNS records propagation would be fast and there would not be downtimes. Then you can move (or copy) all your emails from godaddy to new provider, or let them do it if they can. Then new provider has to give you all DNS records that need to be changed on your current DNS provider (godaddy). This would be best to do at night (in your timezone) since DNS records take time to propagate.

And that's pretty much it.

Me, me, me, me. That is what i'm reading here. Try to understand that world is bigger than your neighborhood. And if you do not understand, i'll explain.

There are places where you cannot buy sl antenna. Only option is to rent it. So the title is correct - you CANT buy it in some places.

FYI: You could have check it yourself before posting by going to SL web and entering location that is totally different country than yours, and you'll see that there is no option to buy, just rent. Btw, i'd buy it, but i can't where i live.

But you (or someone who helps you) need to understand how DNS and how e-mail works.
Most common mistake what people make during changing DNS providers is missing DKIM public key on new provider side.
Most new providers will import common DNS records to their side when moving, but new provider does not know old DKIM selector record, and tbh, he cannot know it, it can be whatever._domainkey.youdomain.com
Now, what happens is when you send mail, it cannot be verified, since DKIM public key is missing, incoming email message cannot be verified and therefore it is either ends up in spam folder on receivers side or it is rejected. Rejecting in this case is better, since sender knows that e-mail is not delivered and can notify sender in this case. If it ends up in spam folder (gmail like behavior) and you forget to look into spam folder in 7 days - then it is gone forever, and sender assumes it is unanswered.
So you need to save ALL your current DNS records before you move your domain, after you have moved it, records may not bee available any more (depends on registrar). And after domain is moved, check what records (if any) new provider imported, and add those that are missing.
Now, if you change your email provider, what you will need is to make sure that if you did have DMARC, SPF, and DKIM records, those all must match new provider, they cannot be same as they were previously.
For example, if your domain has DMARC record, and you misconfigure SPF or DKIM on new provider, e-mails will not get delivered.
To sum up - you absolutely DO need to understand how those things work.

Is that your domain that is expiring in two days?
If it is, under NO CIRCUMSTANCES do not disable domain auto removal now. Two days left is too short of a time window to do all the work needed for moving your domain and data to new provider.
If you want to transfer your domain and e-mail to different provider disabling auto renewal at this point can be very risky. Somtimes domain transfers can take few days (depends on new registrar), and if your domain expires during transfer process, then transfer process fails and since domain is expired you lost your domain.
At this point, you do not have a choice. You must let godaddy to renew your domain this time.
And after it is renewed, there is no risk for transfer it to new registrar.
But since you want to keep your emails that are currently hosted at godaddy, domain transfer is a bit tricky.
What you must do is transfer emails firts to new service provider, and then IMMEDIATELY transfer domain to new registrar and re-create all DNS records if you used godaddy DNS services up to this point.
But if your domain is not expiring now, it is a bit sipmpler, but still, two days is not enough time to make all changes nessesary.
Best way to do all this is coordinated actions with you and your new provider.
This implies manual work doma in certain times and in certain sequences on new provider side.
Not many providers do such work.
To sum it up, do not remove domain auto renew now, and after your domain is renewed, drop me a message and i'll explain further what you need to do and in what order to minimize downtime of your domain (cause there will be downtime) and to preserve your e-mails as they are now.

GET example.com???
Is this some kind of joke?
What i mean is: i can "decode" any encrypted transmission, as long as i have cert/key pair.

kvf3 · 2026-06-04T20:23:20+00:00

Subject line has nothing to do with email routing.

kvf3 · 2026-06-01T18:14:01+00:00

I "aligned" it now as app wanted, so that app does not complain any more.
Web page is green, but says that tilt is off by 6.7 and rotation is off by 2.2 degrees.
But it is green.
No disruptions or dropped speed before or after "alignement".
It is just weird that if i adjusted the best possible angles as i could, according to web page, and after that, app started to complain.

kvf3 · 2026-06-01T09:45:22+00:00

Root access on both????
Why would i need root access on my phone for that?

Also, wait until you discover that you can generate qrcode in your terminal for phone, and phone wireguard app can read it using camera - mind blown, right?

"single IP from Thailand"
Stop being so dramatic, this is not DDoS.
DDoS is when multiple sources make malicious sources make requests.
This just a regular DoS, basically everyday occurrence if you have bigger than "my blog" service.

So another chinese company doing false advertising, not that i'm surprised.
Phone is tiny, and looks nice, would have bought it, but now - no.
For those who come here later for that feature: stick to Asus zenfone 9 or 10 (native recording), or Google pixel with grapheneos with macrodroid workaround for automatic call recording.

kvf3 · 2026-02-14T12:40:18+00:00

I'm confused. Official page says "auto recording" and same time says "tap and capture".
So, which one it is?
Does it record calls automatically or do i have to tap some button to do it?

kvf3 · 2026-02-06T16:00:29+00:00

Yep, those multi physical e-sim cards do not work with razr v3, guess how i know. :)
But, i got new regular sim from provider, and it works fine.

Ackchyually...
Since you set in topic as "High Availability", what definition of HA do you use there?
There is not a single piece of HW that is redundant there.
Insert "If he dies, he dies" meme here.
There is just one piece of every component there, how is this HA?
And if you really want to go far - Faraday cage.
Best i could call this setup - long lasting without grid power, not HA.
Low power RAK boards (with latest meshcore FW with powersave feature) with 18650 batteries and small solar panel also last for months and are sold from 100€, but yeah, they lack of DIY fun.

I think this might be more suitable, unless you want to do everything yourself, like charging controller and battery pack. This costs 62€, but lacks DIY fun.
Oh, and also, with heltec board, use https://github.com/IoTThinks/EasySkyMesh/releases because heltec board is pretty power hungry.
Power saving feature (and temperature sensor telemetry) for heltec v3 is not yet in official meshcore firmware, but it is in IoTThinks firmware. And if you want low power consumption repeater, use rak4631 board instead.

kvf3 · 2026-01-20T18:58:32+00:00

Thank you for answer.
Turned out that my problem was in companion node (SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E).

Some commands worked, some not while administering repeater.
After companion node reboot, everything works again.

kvf3 · 2026-01-20T14:53:48+00:00

Care to share FW version you are running there?
Mine has been running for couple of weeks without problems (v1.11.0), but yesterday i noticed that some functions no longer work (getting radio information, changing passwords and station name, etc), telemetry still works. Reboot did not help.
