I love the cursor trail on your website. A nice bit of nostalgia from the web of yore.

So they issued you a company provided phone for this work specific functionality?

I'm guessing you use WipeOS to more easily handle securely erasing disks. Could you have iVentoy host WipeOS to simplify the setup?

Much more sophisticated and reliable than Xfinity.

Good datacenters have redundant and physically separated power and communication from different providers.

Also, in case something catastrophic happens at one datacenter, the author mentions they are peered to another datacenter in a different country, as another layer of redundancy. Cloudflare handles their ingress, so such a catastrophic event wouldn't likely to be noticed by their customers.

SPF alignment ensures the MAIL FROM domain matches the From header. DKIM alignment ensures the From header matches the domain in the DKIM signature header. In the DMARC policy, you can set both adkim=s and aspf=s.

Google owns and manages all of this, so they can send emails with a google.com MAIL FROM, a google.com header, and signed with a google.com DKIM key. And they could do likewise with gmail.com emails.

I'm not clear on why this isn't practical, perhaps there is something I'm missing though? I would appreciate your viewpoint.

Edit: I see you added a point about forwarding.

They probably sent it from gmail which would pass the SPF check (google.com and gmail.com have the same SPF). They wouldn't have it signed to pass DKIM, but google doesn't use strict alignment checking so to pass DMARC either SPF or DKIM are acceptable.

Of course it is typically wise to consider Chesterton's fence.

I enjoyed it.

My girlfriend's first reaction after getting 30/36 and seeing the neutral smiley face emoji was, "Wordle doesn't judge me."

I think that this solution is a bit backwards. I think it should be on the extension to detect if the site is already "dark".

Over COVID I couldn't wargame with friends in person, so I started an N scale railroad to fill the hobby void as they share a lot. Also it was fun doing all the automation etc as mentioned in other comments there. I've sold the railroad off since as I started wargaming again though.

My email is <first initial><last name>. I also have the same first initial as my father, sometimes I get email intended for him. Fortunately our last name is unusual so that's about the extent of it.
