Well it’s years later and frankly at the end of his career. He has no downside to admitting this. His apology means nothing. He needs to be ostracized, and hopefully this might send a message to anyone else thinking their status and influen

Wait, what? Why does he need to be forgiven?

Try 127.0.0.254 then.

I really hope that last statement isn't true. Do you have any idea how horrible being in prison is when you are innocent? Your values are twisted if you think the innocent having their lives ruined is better than a criminal going free.

I think the worry here is that he now has no way of returning to the U.K. where he earns his income. He is stuck in jail in the US without reasonable access to a good lawyer (an appointed lawyer won't understand this case). His outcome

That validates an RFC5322 email address which literally ONLY email clients need to do (and maybe a few things that process received email). Most things need to process and validate only RFC5321 (and 5890, 5891 and 5892 for Unicode) addresse

Well that and he admitted them. So there's that.

I hope writing that down helped. Because that is not sustainable. I tell developers that I interview that I don't want them working long hours because it leads to bad code. Go home. I want you to have a life and one you enjoy.

Correct, and those systems were even referred to as "email" before this date. Just not in published specifications.

Correct. And that despite not having anything to do with what we now call email, he copyrighted his program. So despite people using the term before his program, owning the copyright was more powerful. He needs to lose badly and soon, befor

So you're saying he's just insane? I mean he categorically did not invent email. My friend Dave Crocker was involved in the birth of email and this guy was not participating in that process. it was created before his invention. It

This is like admitting to stealing things from people who leave their houses unlocked. If you think that is all good then you need to re-evaluate your life choices.

Well you're not comparing to AWS without ops, you're comparing to hiring someone for non-AWS vs managing AWS on your own. Outsourced ops know your systems. They have contracted guarantees. They can manage your own systems, hosted

You can buy sysadmin services. This isn't a full time job at that level.

Ditto. And sadly they will likely win the election.

That's a shame since I wrote the RFC/BCP on DNS blocklists while at Symantec.

That's why you always set up a local mail server that delivers onwards to these services. I documented how to do that with Haraka here: https://baudehlo.com/2016/07/26/setting-up-haraka-to-send-to...

Most people in the U.K. (the only other place I have experience with) never file a tax return. It's just assumed that the government is doing the right thing. Taxes are taken at source for all things, and if you have things outside of

Bitbucket, unlike github, clung to a design of many servers connected to a big disk. GitHub instead went for many servers with their own disk and a distributed storage system. This means that bitbucket ends up being a lot slower in many ope

If patent law worked like coodies that comment would be awesome.

Fwiw search that way is (I think) patented by Proofpoint. So it might be hard to implement.

Not sure what your idea of "not much less performance" is. When craigslist switched from postfix to Haraka they went from 20 email servers down to 7 for the same load.

This site is better than most - I gave you an upvote to show that :)

But after this, will that ever be allowed to happen again? This coup, false flag or not, has spelled the end of that control.

I'd be shocked if anyone got a 4 figure advance. I got a few hundred dollars for an XML book in the height of the XML times. Ultimately the book never got finished but everyone I know who has written a tech book (unless it's a hug

Still no ability to comment via the API? Apps are still scraping to do this.

And yet the same argument has been made time and time again against SMTP. Let's stand back for a second and understand why SMTP has stood the test of time. Yes it has flaws that allow the "first contact" problem (ie spam). Bu

Having an interest in security is a huge win for you. Hiring people into that field is impossibly hard because there are a tiny number of people employed in that area (I came from that field and it's very hard to find people to hire).

Bear in mind two things if you're looking for a software dev position: 1) most software dev is fairly boring, but often you can make of it what you do. You can make it boring or interesting. 2) it's not for life. Every job is a st
