List administrivia: some emails are not getting through to subscribers

Hi, folks. Here is FYI concerning email delivery failures for cypherpunks: Since the afternoon (PST) of December 23, an issue with the upstream network provider's DNS has evidently caused some list recipients to not get messages. The issue is that the recipient's email provider rejects messages from lists.cpunks.org (a.k.a., pglaf.org) due to there being no PTR record in the DNS. PTR is also known as reverse DNS, and is one of the ways that network providers try to mitigate spam. In fact there is a valid PTR. A command like "dig -x 65.50.255.19" shows this. But some providers are getting NXDOMAIN when they look up the PTR, which means the query is rejected from the network provider that holds the IPv4 address space. This issue is now escalated with our hosting provider, and they need to bring it to their network provider. I hope it will be addressed soon. Meanwhile, some subscribers will not be getting messages. Or, perhaps, only getting some messages. The list archives, at https://lists.cpunks.org, are where you can find all the messages to the list. This does not seem to impact incoming messages: any subscriber may post, as usual. But list messages going *to* subscribers might not be received (including this one). Some messages might eventually be delivered if the issue is fixed soon, but many will bounce and will not be delivered. So far, mailman has not automatically unsubscribed anyone due to these delivery failures, and I've twiddled the server setting to try to prevent any auto-unsubscriptions. Apologies for this problem. If you receive this message, and seem to be receiving all messages, then the issue is probably not impacting your email service provider. If you didn't get this message but see it in the archive, I hope this explanation is helpful. I would be interested to hear from anyone who is getting some, but not all messages - that might help to narrow in on what part of the upstream network provider's systems are failing. Best regards to all, Greg (your current cypherpunks list maintainer)

2001 - a game odyssey

Correlation not causation but Paul Rosenberg published " A Lodging of Wayfaring Men " after 2001. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_Win Another in this genre, by Cory Doctorow, published in 2010. Cypherpunks Grand Theft Crypto - relaunched Grand theft crypto is an F-box game engine from the the underground game-crew that bought you President evil, Castle Wolfensen, Plane murder and Doctor rat. In stores for Christmas this game is a combination role-playing first peon shooter in a close but separate reality. Some revolutionary software has been stolen by the last-empire, a military/industrial combine thats taking over the planet. Targeting dissidents and code rebels stormtroopers of the empire are similar to 1st generation OSD robocops, while high up positions in the empire have been favored by players in field tests, the survival and resistance tactics and strategy of the rebels win over longer term players as they delve into the multi-verse world of 2006.

This is like one of those "democratic" debates that goes something like this: "You, Sir, are abusing power because you killed 25 citizens, when you should have only killed 15!" https://cryptome.org/jdb/jdb-zola.htm

UN invitation for Cypherpunks
by professor rat 26 Dec '20

If there was a God called " Truth " it would have to be destroyed. Such is the rapid-evolutionary way. Secularism today - secularism tomorrow - secularism forever. No Gods - no masters - no bullshit. Peace on earth will come soon enough when all crypto-munitions are managed by the UN ( United Networks ) Cryptoanarchism means producer and consumer cooperatives freely federating around the world. Religion and the state have been selected for extinction, even as best-practice welfare-state measures will survive as UBI from below. Power concedes nothing without the demand backed by realistic force. That anarchist force is growing as we speak. Let the powers that be hate us so long as they fear us. Since they won't listen to reason brute force is authorized against every last one of these priests and police. Welcome to the globalized Darwinian revolution! Long live cryptoanarchy!
