putting my old man cap on and I would like to weigh in on the US admin export control on Mythos.
It does remind me of the mid-1990s when suddenly asymmetric cryptographic tools such as PGP became a reality and a wide usage possible due to the growing base of internet users.
Governments (US, France…) did not understand how to regulate and banned export (and asked users to apply for a licence).
I do see a strong parallel with the situation that we are currently living.
What’s interesting is what’s happened out of the few years where regulations were strong enough to reduce innovation.
Well, open source won for the common and everyday uses, and even more powerful crypto has been developed and used by corporations and governments.
I can certainly imagine LLMs taking a similar path.
I have been a customer of OVH’s new Zimbra Starter service. It works for my personal and professional needs, CalDAV and ActiveSync are active. I do not use the web interface so no feedback on this.
To the best of my knowledge opendmarc-reports does not perform a DNS check for external auth, but I might be mistaken.
Major hosts (Google, Zoho, Yahoo, Microsoft) are checking for sure. Japanese hosts are the worst offenders. I will try to do a proper data extraction and report back.
I do operate DMARC report processing service and I have to agree that outdated reporting addresses living in DNS records (in my case, previous customers of mine still using their reporting addresses) are an issue.
Although the RFC 7.1 section regarding External Domain Validation [1] addresses this topic, I've found that lots of final hosts disregard this step and blast their reports to whatever reporting address is provided.
ILFORD is still selling photo paper in rolls with the specific chemicals required for regeneration of baths. It does allow a skilled lab operator to use Durst Lambdas or even a 1hour laser-based minilab like a Noritsu QSS or Fuji Frontier to print on real b&w paper!
However, the same skilled operator should be able to calibrate her minilab in order to obtain decent looking b&w prints on color-based paper (RA4 process - used by Noritsu & Fuji).
I am living in Lille, France, where Gobee.bike begun its French expansion. I am commuting by bike and as a cyclist I do agree with the comment above.
Dockless bikes quickly became a nuisance, a few days after gobee.bike released their fleet. People left those bikes everywhere, including on pedestrian space and bicycle lanes.
On a personal note : there is a well maintained and dock-based bike sharing system provided by the town council in Lille. If bike sharing, as some point, become a part of the town's infrastructure — see: Paris with Velib, Lyon and Lille — I do not see the need nor the space for concurrent offerings from different bike networks.
