  • SCTP was going to do that too. It hasn’t seen much uptake.

    SCTP has a major obstacle in that the internet is full of middleboxes that will never support it, because it’s not TCP or UDP. QUIC deliberately addresses that by being plain old UDP. Routers, firewalls, etc. don’t have to know anything about it in order to handle it.

    In case you want to try some others:

    https://relay.firefox.com/
    https://www.33mail.com/
    https://erine.email/

    Unfortunately, some misguided (or possibly malicious) people collect email forwarding domains like these and publish them in lists dishonestly advertised as spam or disposable address lists. An unfortunate number of service developers have taken to using these lists, leading to the situation you’re in now.

    The best suggestions I can offer:

    • Complain to the administrators of each site that does this, making sure to explain why it’s a problem. There’s a chance that some of them honestly don’t realize that legitimate forwarding domains are being swept up into a dragnet intended for spammers, and might stop using those lists if they were made aware.
    • When choosing a forwarding service, pick one offering domain names that haven’t been picked up by the blacklists. This might require non-default settings when creating a forwarding address, or paying for access to the more obscure domains.

  • Thanks for posting this. I’ve been keeping MX Linux in the back of my mind as a possible Debian alternative if I ever need one.

    they aren’t letting me post this testimonial in the MX forum because it doesn’t accept anon-aliased emails for logins.

    Ouch. That’s a red flag for me, since it forces people to expose themselves to spam and tracking if they want to participate in the community. Which alias service did they reject? Maybe there’s one that doesn’t trigger their rule?


  • I mean, pretty much every desktop environment that’s not Gnome or KDE has been dragging its feet.

    To be fair, migrating a desktop environment from X11 to Wayland is a lot of work, Wayland still hasn’t reached feature parity, and most desktop environments are maintained by very few people with scant resources. It’s no surprise that the big ones are ahead of the others.
