Seriously. I recently learned that group that owns Star Market, Shaws’s, (+ a bunch of others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albertsons ) wants to merge with Kroger’s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kroger)

I was always told competition helps drive prices down. Was that a lie?

This story is weak and literally makes one statement: consolidate the retail market and we might see better prices. It misses the mark on what it might be trying to actually say or what is actually going on: there is no chain large enough to put pressure on suppliers ( which are probably consolidating, invisible to consumers) to lower their prices, so stores are forced to keep high prices or raise them.

It’s not the Muslims, it’s the evil Christians. Same problem, but different names.

The Germans have Russians. :-/

TOR needs to have a lot of ‘background noise’ legit use, otherwise the folks needing to hide in the weeds stick out like a sore thumb.

As an anecdote – I have been sitting on an elastic IP at AWS for years, with reverse DNS configured properly for it. Way early on (years ago), some spam filters would block the whole netblock, but I can’t remember the last time the IP Block was wholesale blocked. I think AWS is very much on top of any spam complaints from their Elastic IPs, and as long as you don’t abuse your specific IP, you are in good shape for light volume, non-spam mail.

LMTP support would be nice too: existing mail routing infrastructure could send messages into stalwart-managed mailboxes. (Edit: reading the docs, they do support LMTP! This is awesome)

A single binary can be invoked with different privilege levels. OpenSSH, for example is a single binary, but uses OS privilege separation when setting up connections from the root-owned daemon. (Just to be clear, I’m not sure that stalwart is using this technique, just that single binary apps do not exclude the possibility of OS privilege separation.)
