15:11 Chronos dreamreal: Which email service does BCN use to send authentication codes?
15:25 dreamreal local postfix. :(
15:26 dreamreal There's an upstream issue and I don't know why, I think
15:26 dreamreal were you trying to log in?
15:32 Chronos dreamreal: No. Just curious.
15:32 Chronos I'm not sure why you added :(
15:32 dreamreal It's a drag, because authing a local postfix sucks.
15:32 Chronos Your emails seem reliable... fast, haven't landed in spam, etc.
15:33 Chronos Ah.
15:33 dreamreal "Oh, you configured your OWN MTA? OBVIOUSLY A SPAMMER!"
15:33 dreamreal It's a constant race ahead of false positives.
15:33 Chronos Ah, that sucks :(
15:33 Chronos The world has managed to largely centralize email
15:34 dreamreal ... and made it nearly irrelevant. I'd be better off with SMS, but ew
15:34 dreamreal I don't WANT people's phone numbers
15:36 dreamreal Plus the SMS services suck
15:40 Chronos I'm far less likely to give some rando website my phone number than I am my email address, for some reason
15:40 Chronos I'm not sure if I'm being logical or not, heh
15:40 dreamreal well, your phone number is harder to anonymize
15:40 dreamreal like, if I put my phone number out there, that's actually how to communicate WITH ME
15:40 dreamreal I can't hide behind an alias
15:42 dreamreal And should nevet get hacked, well, there are no password, but your identity is the email address; if your phone number is in there, too, that's a more direct violation
15:42 dreamreal I don't think it's likely, nor would it be easy, but ... people saying that are the ones who get surprised the most when it happens, which is why nevet doesn't expose or track those things
15:42 dreamreal even the service passwords it uses are hidden
