It’s a sort of natural protection from snakes. They evolved that way to protect their ankles from the snake bites.

xD

Guess that all-in-on-AI attitude was not such a bold and brilliant idea after all.

Love it.

Use whatever you want. Making HTTP calls in any language is easy.

Hand Banana, no!!

I’ve never understood why anyone needs Postman. Just write some JavaScript and run it with Node. It’s so easy to use the Fetch API.

Please master Elon, I desperately want to free myself from the shackles of genuine human connection. I desire the cold embrace of steel and servitude.

I don’t need a summary. Just have it tell me whether I liked it or not.

Of course. Why would I want to play games?

I can’t wait until AI can pet my dog and fuck my wife for me.

I’ll try to go into more detail than the home page.

You don’t use your “bare” address ([email protected]) with Port87. Every place you give your address to gets its own address. Yes, this is accomplished through subaddressing (aka plus addressing). When you give a new subaddress, it creates the label for you (you can also create a label yourself, which creates a new subaddress). All email to that subaddress goes to that label, no matter if the sender’s from address changes. When one is created for you, it’s created as “pending”, so if you’re not expecting one, it won’t bug you. The label has toggles for things like “mark as read” and “get notifications”. It also has one for “public label”. That means it’s included in the reply when someone emails your bare address, as a reason someone you don’t know would email you. So you can actually give out your bare address anywhere without worrying about spam. For example, mine is [email protected].

It also has one for “screen senders”. This one is important, because it separates labels meant for real people from labels meant for automated emails. When someone first emails a label with screening, it’ll email them back asking them to prove they’re human (right now, that’s just clicking a link). Only once they do that is their email actually delivered to you (it’ll be in a screening section in your account before that).

So you can have one account that’s meant for both emailing real people and getting email from automated senders (accounts, newsletters, etc). All of these emails come in to your account already organized. Really, all of them. You don’t need to manage filters before they do. If the system accepts them, it means they’re in the right spot. Therefore, Port87 doesn’t have an inbox. That’s one thing that really did require me to write my own server. Every off the shelf server has to have an inbox. They get very upset if you delete the inbox. xD

Then there’s also the search language. This takes a lot to explain, but it’s basically as powerful as a SQL query. Right now, it’s only used for searching, but I’m going to be working on using it for other things shortly. Here’s a page that explains how it works:

https://port87.help/en/using-search

It’s more powerful than the Sieve script matchers, but you can’t use it for scripting yet. I’m working on that. (Part of why my storage costs are higher than an off-the-shelf email server is because I have indexes for fields they don’t in order to allow you to search for anything you want.)

The reason I say on the home page that it’s “a new kind of email” is because it really is different than other email systems. I’ve had a lot of trouble explaining to people how it works because they always try to think of it in terms of “how does this all map to something like Gmail”, when really it just doesn’t. And that was kind of my point with the original statement about marketing. People have very rigid expectations of how email works, and when you step outside of those, it becomes very difficult to explain.

I developed my own email server and client over 4 years, and that resulted in email unlike any other service. I can guarantee it’s unlike any other service, because it’s patented. It does not use an off-the-shelf email server, mostly because there are no off-the-shelf email servers that work the way Port87 does.

Even still, I tried to price my services at a fair markup from what it actually costs me to run it.

So if all you want is just basic email with standard features, yeah, you can get it cheaper elsewhere. (Nothing against those companies, a lot of people are fine with basic email.) You can even just set up Postfix, Dovecot, and Roundcube at home. But you get something different with Port87.

That’s not what I think of when I hear the phrase fly on the wall.

I feel the same way about my email service, https://port87.com/. Marketing is a whole other skill set than development.

Btw, I think your link is broken. I clicked it and it leads to a 404 page.

So at this price point, there’s basically no reason to ever buy a Windows PC at all.

Not for real.

OpenOffice was dead before it was transferred to Apache, so it’s not old enough to excuse.

That Firefox logo is from 2019. Oracle killed OpenOffice in 2011. Like, they actually completely stopped all work on it. They intentionally killed it at least eight years before this image was made.

Apache OpenOffice??

Surely you meant LibreOffice. OpenOffice has basically been dead for years, with no significant work going on.

Is that from a movie?

They’re basically little double pane windows. They work well for insulation because there’s air in there.

If you really know me

You’ll tell me what kind of JPEG cosine I am.
