Europe’s other front: peaceniks vs hawks
Not all voters favour rearming. Hardly any like paying for itThe Economist
I spent Trump's first term watching and reading a lot of "fuck around and find out" stories. I saw Republicans get harmed by their own vote, and I did enjoy the schadenfreude.
I thought, now that they've been harmed, surely they will start changing their minds.
They didn't.
Not even the farmers.
They kept voting Republican, and now the USA is in collapse.

Crumbling certitudes lead to renewed fortitudeThe Economist
At this point every other country in the world should be working together to figure out exactly how catastrophically we can fuck the United States over by banding together because the only way this malodorous playground bully is going to learn his lesson is if he gets a beating he doesn’t soon forget. Anything less and we’ll all be living under the yoke of this douchebag and his cronies before we know it.

The agency cuts come after President Donald Trump promised to shut down the Education Department. Critics argue cutbacks are less about improving student outcomes and more about instituting a conservative agenda. #education #trump #Conservatives

Education Department cut by half. Will Trump still try to shut it down?

if you hit any problem feel free to open an issue in the same repo.
Popular problems:
- DNS settings (a zone file is provided but most providers don't allown importing)
- getting your hosting provider to allow sending and receiving to/at port 25

in reply to Delta Chat (39c3) • • •Hey, sorry. Somehow I missed these mentions. I used the official delta instructions. The two snags I ran into were setting up opendkim. When the script was generating keys, it was failing since the command needed to be run with sudo. I had to manually edit the script to include that. This may just be a quirk of my VPS.
Second thing was getting an SSL certificate. The first run was fine, but I messed some other stuff up and just restarted my VPS from scratch. The second time trying to get the SSL was a pain. Turned out I had to go into my DNS and delete all of the chatmail script entries and try again. It took longer than I care to admit to figure that one out.
The two things that @delta mentioned are important too. I'm using cloudflare and racknerd. Cloudflare allows importing DNS, which makes adding all the entries way easier, and racknerd is cheap and doesn't block any ports. I'll eventually probably try and move away from cloudflare and to a non-US VPS, but I wanted to get it setup cheaply and minimize any potential issues for my first setup.

in reply to Jon • • •DNS, DKIM and SSL are indeed the common choke points. Thanks for persevering and for providing info! Could make sense to keep notes about various hosters in the server repo.
Cloudflare is kind of ok ... As long as you have control over DNS you can change that later. Chatmail servers have automatic recovery even after all server state is catastrophically lost. This is a very nice property.

in reply to Delta Chat (39c3) • • •Rather to my surprise I seem to have managed to set up my own chatserver, following (both) your instructions. I do have a follow-up question though. How security-hardened would you say the standard configuration is? Do you have any advice on firewalling etc?
Delta Chat is an impressive piece of work.
