githubs new automated education verification system is mildly annoying. turns out it wants screenshots and if you give it a picture of a document instead it will deny u. might also be because i refused to change my public profile name to my deadname but oh well.

a friend and me came up with the very convoluted theory that some intern @ AS131711 connected an old server they found in the basement that was configured to advertise as 1.1.1.1 (obviously very unlikely but silly theories are fun)
rooot: someone swallowed the entire 1.1.1.1 range, some random indonesian AS
blex: maybe it will be a kevin fang vid, cuz thats big still
blex: iirc tho, 1.1.1.1 range used to be owned by indonesia or whatever
rooot: i mean, BGP "takeover" is kinda huge
blex: so maybe a legacy system that failed
rooot: probably some intern turning on that old server from the basement that was set to advertise as 1.1.1.1 [troll emoji]
blex: yea

cool, thunderbird mobile (k9) doesn't follow spec because the devs think that sending the email address over https to the mail server is "unsafe" and a "privacy risk" and because not sending it "works most of the time" i WISH i was joking. this literally breaks autoconfig. link to the thread
screenshot of the thunderbird forums, showing a comment by "cketti", a "Thunderbird team member":

This was done deliberately. We don’t want to send the email address to the autoconfig server without the user’s explicit consent.

Not sending the email address works most of the time because for many providers the config is just a static file. Having K-9 Mail not send the email address is a way for us to find out what providers currently depend on the email address being sent.

Are you running your own autoconfig server? If so, do you really need email address-specific settings?
