Comment Federation is the right implementation (Score 2) 27

I've been a spamgourmet user for 25 years, and it's been perfect but... Email as designed is fundamentally designed for a friendlier universe and thus easily exploited. To fix this email should deliver ONLY a secure link to its payload that is hosted by the sender. If I send you and email, in your email (or sms or any other delivery protocol) you get a notification: "Fishdan has sent you a message. To read it click fishdan.com/mail?recipient=you@youraddress.com&secretpin=19700101&othersexritything1=foo&othersecuritything2=bar&clientsecurity=&mysecurityclientid=918273123012 etc etc You could even have a thing where if I want to send you a more secure email I require your browser to have a JWT (or whatever) that you only get by answering a second email. Etc etc. Contentlink is evaluated by your email client AND your browser for safety. IF it's an official certification it gets a better trust rating etc. has to match the send of the email and your email reader assigns a trust rating to it that you see when opening the email and again when following the content link.

Comment Memoy Palaces? (Score 1) 243

I have aphantasia. Like others, I can visualize something only fleetingly, if at all. The whole concept of a "memory palace" as a way to memorize things always puzzled me: I make up a "room" in my mind and put something to remember in it. Fine. Now I have to remember *two* things. Learning about aphantasia was honestly a relief.

Which search engine do you use? If it's one I haven't tried then I'll give it a go.

I bit the bullet and went with Kagi. Yes, I'm actually paying for search. I tried it out during a testing period and honestly, the results are great. I like the per-site options, the "lenses" that let you focus search, retrieval speed, and most of all, the results don't seem to suck.

Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

Comment Re:I got a different email (Score 1) 104

Indeed, I also got both these email, which make the overall message rather confusing. They also sent a third email (prior to all this) about domain name registration as I also did use dyn (prior to Oracle's involvement) to purchase a domain name and needless to say Oracle now inherited that, so that email only informed domain registration would be usable on their platform instead.
