[977.82 --> 983.08] Now that the new normal is for our tech overseers to be the judge and the jury, that makes me a |
[983.08 --> 984.84] complete target because I'm not in the system. |
[985.00 --> 986.86] A system that says maybe I'm guilty by default. |
[986.94 --> 992.02] It's a no-win game unless a large number of people get away from those services. |
[992.66 --> 996.76] So in other words, you almost put a target on your back by not participating in these |
[996.76 --> 998.64] systems is what Prozac is saying. |
[999.46 --> 999.94] Do you though? |
[1000.30 --> 1004.26] I mean, there's already, there's so much noise. |
[1004.44 --> 1006.26] I guess he has a point actually. |
[1006.26 --> 1011.00] There's so much signal to noise that they've got to process with, with these things, but |
[1011.00 --> 1013.92] that's where machine learning comes in is to help, help do that. |
[1014.24 --> 1018.06] And a machine can't do much learning if you're not part of the system, I suppose. |
[1019.08 --> 1019.54] Yeah, that's true. |
[1019.62 --> 1024.00] You're, you're protected in the, in the like automatically flagging you because the machine |
[1024.00 --> 1028.78] learning thingy just misunderstood what you took a picture of or what you had a voicemail |
[1028.78 --> 1029.46] about or something. |
[1029.52 --> 1031.30] You're like avoiding all of that trap. |
[1031.30 --> 1036.00] There is a dystopian future playing out here though already, isn't there? |
[1036.60 --> 1042.30] Where if you're not, if you're not part of the, uh, the Amazon or the Google ecosystem, |
[1042.30 --> 1044.68] you know, you're not allowed to buy prime. |
[1045.04 --> 1046.82] You're not allowed to buy stuff off Amazon. |
[1046.96 --> 1052.00] You're not allowed to, I don't know, whatever the, whatever the problem would be. |
[1052.32 --> 1055.54] And Josh in the chat says, don't put all your eggs in one basket. |
[1055.76 --> 1060.72] And to that, I would just counter that there's only three or four baskets to really choose from. |
[1061.30 --> 1066.20] With, with big tech in air quotes, you know, there's really not as much choice as you might |
[1066.20 --> 1068.32] imagine when it comes to the, the internet. |
[1068.82 --> 1072.00] Has anyone out there successfully cut off Amazon completely? |
[1072.66 --> 1074.26] I mean, how do you do that? |
[1074.32 --> 1079.80] Especially in the day and age where a lot of people can't get stuff, but Amazon can still get it. |
[1079.98 --> 1084.98] Can you imagine if somehow your social credit score prohibited you from accessing AWS based |
[1084.98 --> 1085.58] services? |
[1085.88 --> 1086.56] That already does. |
[1086.62 --> 1087.28] They won't let me on. |
[1087.28 --> 1089.90] No, I don't mean as a customer. |
[1090.90 --> 1096.58] I mean, as an end user, you, you are not allowed to load any traffic that traverses Amazon's |
[1096.58 --> 1097.36] network somewhere. |
[1097.72 --> 1098.60] That'd be pretty awful. |
[1099.00 --> 1100.56] That'd be most of the internet, wouldn't it? |
[1101.38 --> 1105.02] What about this concept of just don't put all your eggs in one basket? |
[1105.02 --> 1111.82] Like, so maybe Mozilla's handling your syncing and maybe Fastmail's handling your email. |
[1112.10 --> 1114.82] TrevDev boosted in saying he switched to Fastmail. |
[1115.00 --> 1115.22] I know. |
[1115.28 --> 1117.40] I think you mentioned you're looking at Fastmail. |
[1117.82 --> 1118.00] Yeah. |
[1118.26 --> 1118.48] Yeah. |
[1118.48 --> 1119.78] I've been with Fastmail for a while now. |
[1119.92 --> 1122.22] I use Protonmail for some things. |
[1123.20 --> 1127.96] You're still using somebody else's service, but you're kind of spreading the risk out. |
[1128.04 --> 1128.60] Is that better? |
[1129.04 --> 1130.22] Well, I mean, I found it interesting. |
[1130.22 --> 1133.58] You think talking about email specifically, there's a link in the show notes. |
[1133.70 --> 1139.06] There was a blog post doing the rounds this week about a guy who's been self-hosting email |
[1139.06 --> 1144.34] for 23 years and has finally thrown in the towel and basically gave all the reasons that |
[1144.34 --> 1146.68] you might imagine as to why he stopped. |
[1147.06 --> 1149.10] Email is not distributed anymore. |
[1149.92 --> 1153.32] He says you cannot create another first class node in this network. |
[1153.48 --> 1155.18] Email is now an oligarchy. |
[1155.18 --> 1160.90] A service that is gatekept by a few big companies, which does not follow the principles of net neutrality. |
[1161.32 --> 1163.94] First, they cut off the residential IPs. |
[1164.06 --> 1165.86] Then they cut off the VPSs. |
[1166.08 --> 1168.42] Now they've basically cut off all self-hosters. |
[1168.62 --> 1172.04] He says my emails are just simply not getting delivered anymore. |
[1172.04 --> 1177.26] After running a mail server since 1999, the day he got a broadband service. |
[1178.48 --> 1182.26] And ever since then, he's been running a mail server and he says now it's just completely |
[1182.26 --> 1183.48] he's throwing in the towel. |
[1183.48 --> 1189.62] He says hell banning everybody except other big email providers is a lazy way to fight |
[1189.62 --> 1191.10] spam and it's dishonest. |
[1191.88 --> 1196.04] He uses spam as a scapegoat to nerf deliverability and stifle competition. |
[1196.72 --> 1196.96] Absolutely. |
[1197.28 --> 1199.50] It's all about stifling competition, in my opinion. |
[1199.90 --> 1205.40] And the issue isn't necessarily that your IP gets blacklisted and you get sent straight |
[1205.40 --> 1205.98] to spam. |
[1205.98 --> 1213.96] The issue is that you get part of a block of IPs and your mail just simply gets rejected |
[1213.96 --> 1215.38] before it even gets that far. |
[1216.10 --> 1217.14] And what do you do then? |
[1217.38 --> 1218.48] You're completely SOL. |
[1219.10 --> 1223.46] Your really only best option, if you find you can't self-host your mail, is you need to |
[1223.46 --> 1224.22] at least own your domain. |
[1224.50 --> 1225.86] You know, don't have an at gmail domain. |
[1226.44 --> 1227.46] Don't have an iCloud. |
[1227.46 --> 1232.98] Though Apple would love to tell you that they have the most private system of all of them. |
[1232.98 --> 1233.00] Yeah. |
[1233.46 --> 1238.56] Actually, I probably believe them that they do, actually, of all of them, of the big three |
[1238.56 --> 1242.34] or four, I suppose, with that, what's it called, iCloud Plus or something? |
[1242.68 --> 1243.06] For now. |
[1243.18 --> 1243.60] For now. |
[1243.72 --> 1244.06] For now. |
[1244.28 --> 1247.68] Though as they begin to monetize services and things like that, they're going to have |
[1247.68 --> 1249.28] to drive revenue from advertising. |
[1249.28 --> 1254.38] And they're launching more and more resources and staff around their advertising department. |
[1254.50 --> 1255.94] So we shall see. |
[1256.40 --> 1260.22] Carlos, the guy that had this email, you know, shutting down his email server. |
[1260.64 --> 1265.18] He says it's a huge invisible problem that really isn't getting fixed. |
[1265.30 --> 1267.70] Email is basically going to the big tech companies. |
[1268.28 --> 1268.98] I think he's right. |
[1269.10 --> 1271.10] I think the future for that kind of stuff is matrix. |
[1271.90 --> 1276.18] I mean, not that it's going to replace email, but for something that you can self-host and |
[1276.18 --> 1279.10] federate and is truly decentralized and open. |
[1279.56 --> 1282.40] I just wonder where email will be in 10 years time. |
[1283.54 --> 1284.60] Answers on the postcard. |
