[ot] attempting to process list connection
by Karl 27 May '21

gmail's not delivering messages from this list to me, despite a filter I set up. I was never sure why I started posting to this list, anyway. Somebody got spam-filtered recently, and while dissociated, doing my brainwashed habits, I replied with pressure towards them, rather than giving them care. I'm thinking about that while I experience disconnection from the list. But moreso, I'm thinking about why I am connected to this list at all. If I understood why I was here, it would make more sense to act on it. It would be really nice to get lists run by something like blockchains, with open logs. I'm sure that Greg would appreciate having less list burden if anybody implemented that. I'm thinking I'd like to use the pressure around not receiving from the list, to resolve mailing list censorship in general, somehow. I bet gnunet has something. .... <~~confusion~~> ... I don't have any experience with remailers, unfortunately, or usenet. It slightly sounds like a solution that the list members would find familiar and agreeable, might involve existing email systems and software. But I'm so crazy I'm unlikely to complete anything that others even recognise as usable ;p I think that's a nice place for the pressure to go, though. In other news, my first feeling for handling this was to set up a local mail server on a tor hidden service. Makes the delivery chain controllable. That seems like a reasonable next step up from e-mail. Not sure if I'll actually do it, though.

Hey Greg, Can you confirm that people _subscribed_ to the list experience a spam filter now? I thought my emails were getting spammed due to not being subscribed, but it turns out this address is, actually, subscribed; I was told this when I attempted subscribing. In other news, I haven't been receiving mails from the list recently (recent mails in the archive aren't in my inbox yet), not sure if it matters. Karl

Tom's Hardware: Chia: Stop Farming with Consumer SSDs or Stop Complaining About Endurance. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/chia-releases-statement-regarding-ssd-end… Jim Bell's comment: I made my SemiDisk in 1982 with DRAMs, not a non-volatile memory. I just checked, and it appears that 16 gbyte of DDR4 DRAM costs roughly the same as 512 gbyte of USD.
