Does software that could use PGP suddenly freeze for seemingly no reason, even if you don't use PGP? Then you are probably running a Linux system with GnuPG installed. Apparently, the default silently switched from using a standard GnuPG keystore to using some atrocious software called keyboxd.

I don't want to ask Alexa shit. I wish businesses would get off the fucking bandwagon, trying to manufacture interactions with these stupid bots most customers hate. If you are as annoyed as I am, here are some rules to block the "Ask Alexa" garbage on Amazon's website.

Shh! Don't tell the spammers, but… Other than DMARC, the only anti-spam technique I employ is greylisting. The last time I received a spam message, it was due to my failure to verify DMARC on incoming mail. See, this is why the big providers are making a big deal about DMARC. I wrote briefly about both in BÚÉK! and Spam. Here, I expand upon greylisting.

I have tried to find a way to show custom headers when reading mail using Emacs and mu4e. Unfortunately, I never did. However, I find a way to show arbitrary custom headers in Thunderbird, which is fantastic! In Config Editor, you can add a list of headers separated by spaces to `mailnews.headers.extraExpandedHeaders`.

I finally started getting spam. Well, phishing emails, technically. From one specific source, some random VM probably purchased for just the occasion. No matter, checking the headers, I found DMARC would have successfully failed it. (Successfully failed? That's a thing, right?)
