@kaia I imagine the answer depends critically of the definition of "core office features" applied. (as in some of us are quite happy with whatever we can do via ssh and tunnelling)

What, people are freaking out about #windows11 *now*?

That writing was already on the wall (in bold, italic, lots of !!!s) when I wrote this thing in 2021 - "The Impending Doom of Your Operating System Going to or Past 11, Versus the Lush Oasis of Open Source Systems" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/2021_wild_wild_world_of_windows.html about my then-new laptop and #openbsd support.

That machine is *still* quite usable with OpenBSD, thank you! #opensource #freesoftware #libresoftware

APNIC Blog: IP addresses through 2024

"There is still no evidence of any common sense of urgency about the deployment of [IPv6] ..." https://blog.apnic.net/2025/01/13/ip-addresses-through-2024/

@solene for the spamd generated list, the expiry is 24 hours (IIRC counted from last seen activity). For the others it's six weeks similarly as described in "Badness, Enumerated by Robots" https://nxdomain.no/~peter/badness_enumerated_by_robots.html.

I offer removal for the kinds of situations you mention (https://www.bsdly.net/~peter/traplist_ethics.shtml) but I have only ever received removal requests for outdated entries and for hosts still actively spamming for some reason.

I tell them to fix, I will provide evidence for handing to law enforcement.

@gyptazy @solene spamd is a lot more targeted than that (SMTP only).

Any attempt to deliver mail to the trap addresses will lead to the sender IP getting stuttered at by my system and any similar system that imports my exported data on subsequent SMTP connection attempts for 24 hours.

If anybody out there uses the exported list of IP addresses for any other purpose, that is both stupid and entirely their responsibility.

SSH and POP3 gropers on the other hand are subject to "block drop" here.

@gyptazy @solene That said, if you run a mail service and you don't entirely trust your users to not get cracked or do stupid things, intercepting any SMTP delivery attempts from your networ to the trap email addresses is likely a good idea for safeguarding your IP reputation score among those who keep track.
