      Kürzlich wurde im Bekanntenkreis ein E-Mail-Konto gehackt. Das Passwort war schnell geändert. Bei einer anschließenden Prüfung habe ich allerdings eine verdächtige Weiterleitung entdeckt: Eingehende Nachrichten wurden heimlich an eine fremde Adresse geschickt.

      Deshalb mein Tipp: Nach einem Kontoeinbruch unbedingt auch Weiterleitungen und Filterregeln prüfen. Ein Passwortwechsel allein reicht nicht immer!

                    @whynothugo I don't find xmpp so nice of a protocol for several reasons and design choices, but let's be honest, if even managed to repurpose (#smtp + ) for chatting and make a nice well integrated cross-platform multi-profile and multi-device supporting client, that on top of that doesn't even make your profile depend on a single server,

                    I think we don't really need more protocols, xmpp is good enough (anything that just sends encrypted blobs around is good enough actually), and someone could have done the same what Delta Chat did but using XMPP protocol, probably just for sending messages around, without using quite some of the bloat / polemic features of XMPP, like groups depending on the server where you create them and ending up being unencrypted, etc. (in Delta Chat groups are always encrypted forever, encryption can't degrade)

                    sadly no one did that so far

                                      The one email etiquette rule I break is the one about line wrapping. Everyone says you should wrap your email lines 72 something something, but I disabled line wrapping when sending emails and when I receive emails, and honestly? No one’s complained, and I do tend to write lengthy paragraphs. I'm guessing for sighted folk it fits to their screens anyway, so all is good. And disabling line wrapping when someone replies to me makes it far easier to copy code, URLs, etc. I know it's supposed to respect the folks reading emails in the terminal, but this is an instance where I say, nope, sorry! I'm never line wrapping again because your terminal email client displays long lines horribly.

This was swiftly followed, in early 1991, by a proposed piece of U.S. Senate legislation that would force electronic communications service providers to hand over people’s personal data. (The key clause, S.266, was pushed by the then chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, Senator Joe Biden.)"
                                                                          "On learning of Biden’s S.266 clause, Zimmermann feverishly set out to complete the project, almost losing his house in the process. When he finished his software in 1991, he published it all online, free for anyone who wanted to use it. He called it “Pretty Good Privacy,” or PGP for short, and within weeks it had been downloaded and shared by thousands of people around the world. “Before PGP, there was no way for two ordinary people to communicate over long distances without the risk of interception,” said Zimmermann in a later interview. “Not by phone, not by FedEx, not by fax.” It remains the most widely used form of email encryption to this day."
