cock.li is a pretty good E-Mail/VPS provider from what I heard. From their homepage: > How can I trust you? You can't. Cock.li doesn't parse your E-mail to provide you with targeted ads, nor does cock.li read E-mail contents unless it's for a legal court order. However, it is 100% possible for me to read E-mail, and IMAP/SMTP doesn't provide user-side/client-side encryption, so you're just going to have to take my word for it. Any encryption implementation would still technically allow me to read E-mail, too. This was true for Lavabit as well -- while your E-mail was stored encrypted (only if you were a paid member, which most people forget), E-mail could still technically be intercepted while being received / sent (SMTP), or while being read by your mail client (IMAP). For privacy, we recommend encrypting your E-mails using PGP using a mail client add-on like Enigmail, or downloading your mail locally with POP and regularly deleting your mail from our server. Also, there's this quote from /g/: Administering a mail host is sort of like being a nurse; there's a brief period at the start when the thought of seeing people's privates might be vaguely titillating in a theoretical sense, but that sort of thing doesn't last long when it's up against the daily reality of shit, piss, blood, and vomit. Now that I think about it, administering a mail host is exactly like being a nurse, only people die slightly less often. -------------------------------- They also publish all emails/call recordings when dealing with law enforcement on their transparency page.

Ah yes the alt-right paradise. "@hitler.rocks" and "@nuke.africa" are really nice domain to have :) The administrator of cock.lu also famously hosted with oVo systems some more than sketchy boards.

  I'd personally love to have an E-Mail address ending with nuke.africa. If you can't understand that it's satirical/jokey, I feel bad for you. Some people are way too serious on the Internet. If you are offended by a bunch of words without proper context you really need to go outside.

    The problem isn't "some people don't get that it's a joke". The problem is that it's a distasteful joke.

      Who's to say that it's distasteful? Humor is very subjective. I'd also argue that most people that complain about those jokes unironically think that author is actually racist, like it doesn't even cross their mind that it could be a joke, even a "bad" one. Ironically, the fact that some people react in this way makes these jokes even funnier

  Where can I read more about the sketchy boards hosted by the admin?

    As stated by Le Monde[1] Kohlchan was hosted on OvO Systems, which was owned by Vincent Canfield. If you can't read the end of the article due to the paywall, you can use the reader mode of Firefox. You can also see that cock.li is hosted on OvO Systems on the footer.

      From what I understand OvO Systems runs a VPS host (cockbox.org) and after Krautchan shut down, Bernd rented a VPS on cockbox (since they allow anonymous payments) to host a Krautchan successor named Kolchan. So yes, OvO Systems hosts it, but the admin is not actively involved, similar to how the Hetzner admins aren’t involved in Plex movie warez services being hosted on Hetzner dedis. Cock.li on the other hand is run by the OvO systems owner himself.
