>Several years later, I now avoid spam mail by simply no longer reading my emails anymore...

I realized the other day I haven't even checked my main email in months and I missed absolutely noting important.

One thing to be careful of is email hosts that dump your account after x months of inactivity. Logging in once in a while is good, got burned by this once.

Except the H

What are your thoughts on everyone just using onion services and becoming their own cloud again?

I think the model for self hosting actually works and scales again here. I really don't even understand why anyone bothers with jumping through all the hoops anymore when something like onion services exist.

Ive been thinking about this a lot and how individual may not survive long term in a world of hyper aware LLM's.

Im not really even sure what utility a gmail or outlook provides anymore aside from professional environments where the network effect is useful.

It's not clear from the article if this is a mass intake of all internet usage or simply within their own platforms.

I think the article pretty clearly states its not just within their own platform

> In a wide-ranging conversation about threat monitoring and analysis, the interview also touches on monitoring activists. “Last year we had an executive travel into a major city when we received some intelligence through Samdesk about a planned protest,” Ellison said. The originally scheduled protest was moved up due to permitting issues. “Samdesk gave us about 60 minutes of advanced notice that the protest organizers had moved the timeline,” Ellison explained. “That extra hour was critical. Without it our executives would have departed their meetings, they would have ran right into the heart of the disruption.”

This doesn't sound like something coming from Anthropic's platforms:

What even is the marketing strategy though? Generate a buzz headline so people engage and speak about the company? Isn't commenting falling for it?

Posts here with no activity can't climb gravity without engagement.

I noticed this awhile back. Check out the network traffic during typing. https://postimg.cc/k2tbxQSx

So interesting to see a variety of productivity suites recently.

I am taking an alternative approach and utilizing v3 onion services for networking.

Websockets over tor prove to be very snappy for real time collaboration, and I really enjoy the simplicity of deployment from a simple bash script for new mailbox/nodes.

My take is very simplistic for docs and sheets. For example, I'm typically not creating charts for myself but find calculations and basic formatting really useful.

Hey cool sounds like everyone's on the same page. Here is a start.

I've had this happen as well. Same exact name, and concept and highly specific application. It was extreamly niche too.

A kill switch may be effective for an agent driven attack or something. But I would think that what ever hypothetical national security endangering threat that was created would be something a deterministic program would handle, not an agent driven thing. So implementing a kill switch would have no effect on the hypothetical deterministic program that was created.

No doubt. But is it effective against an agent-driven attack?
