Whats the best email service?
Really depends on how you define “best”, but maybe Fastmail if your priority is features and usability or Protonmail if you value privacy a lot.
I would love to selfhost, but my internet service provider blocks port 25…
Selfhosting email is generally not worth it in my opinion and doing it from a residential connection is pretty much doomed to fail right from the start.
RSS feeds maybe? Either host them yourself and have people use one of the many RSS feed readers out there. Or use RSS feed links for Mastodon users (e.g. https://social.kernel.org/users/torvalds.rss).
no ad related traffic gets out
But the outgoing ad-related traffic (i.e. submission of DAP reports to aggregation services) is generated by Firefox itself, not some website. I don’t think adblockers have any influence on that.
adblockers do their job and prevent any PPA submissions.
Does it actually prevent all PPA submissions or just submissions for blocked ads, because they weren’t shown in the first place? If an ad managed to slip through, would the impression still be reported?
technically I have infinite addresses
Email addresses can’t be arbitrarily long, so technically you don’t have an infinite number. But you could easily use up as many addresses as there are atoms in the universe every Planck time until its heat death and it would still only amount to an infinitesimal fraction of the total.
It increases privacy and stops advertisers tracking everything you do.
No, it doesn’t stop advertisers from doing anything. They can still do everything they did before. This is just an additional thing that advertisers can use to track conversions from ad impressions.
I did the update a minute ago and the option was checked for me.
Edit: From the official explainer:
This feature will be enabled by default with an option to disable it.
Just wanted to say that I was pretty disappointed with the C920 as well. The difference to my work MacBook’s webcam is quite literally night and day. With the C920, anything but bright, frontal, uniform illumination gives you a bad to mediocre image, while with the MacBook I could pretty much sit in complete darkness and nobody would notice a difference.
I think if you want something actually good for streaming you’ll have to use a real camera that can stream to your PC instead of a “webcam”. Not sure which brands are compatible with Linux though. Many streamers do list their streaming equipment in their bio, so you might just want to look around for someone like that with a good looking stream or just ask.
IIRC, because of sealed sender, they can’t know who you’re communicating with, only that you’re using Signal at all.
