Gosh am I annoyed by these bullshit energy startups. They want to sell a PPA? For a technology for which they don't even have a working prototype? That has never produced a single kwh of energy? That's like... step 200 before step

If you're worried about energy, land use, and competition with farmland for food, there's one thing you should worry about: bioenergy. If you worry about solar energy and land use, you haven't looked at the numbers.

When efail came out, I wrote a blogpost about the security risks of HTML mail. It is really amazing how problematic all of this is, despite its widespread use. The HTML mail spec is really old, and contains almost no security considerations

This is something I'm still trying to find someone who understands it in detail and can explain it to me. Because as you say, you break SPF if you don't touch the envelope from. There's SRS to fix this. But if you do that, yo

Without putting blame on anyone, this does show a fundamental issue with the open core model. It is built on the premise that your "open" product will not be as good as possible, so you can still have the higher priced "enter
