    There is a form and people you can talk to if the form doesn't work. The form should have been mentioned in the reject message but is at https://senders.yahooinc.com/contact#sender…

    PiHole doesn't block all ads though it might seem to for some, and DoH (aka Private DNS) will eventually obsolete it if the amount of lost revenue doesn't remain trivial (less than…

    You wouldn't lose the content just the ability to share it, if I read it correctly, which is something I wouldn't normally want anyway. My backups are done with restic so Google ca…

    My bank nagged me to go paperless. There is a PDF available monthly but those are trivially editable these days.

    A Cloudflare Argo Tunnel, perhaps the free one for short-term use.

    Keepass2Android's keyboard solves this for me.

    I dislike this, trend it seems, of putting the language in the URL -- the Accept-Language HTTP header should be used which can express weighted preferences. Mozilla does use the he…

    Refused. I presume because I don't generally browse with ECMAscript enabled. Back to DDG Lite.

    If you have a (very) short list you can make/modify a search engine entry to add a -site:which.ever for each that cause problems. The problem is that the scummy sites are legion bu…

    You can filter on the web site or in the app, not globally nor in some parts of the interface so it's a PITA but it is there.

    The gracious guess would be an attempt to detect malware by sending or fetching hashes to match.

    I believe the suggestion is to do something about the account on the other service that has been pointed to your address, e.g., if United Airlines is sending you mail about flights…

    They are all too often in another country, so they can sometimes be determined but seldom accountable.

    The newsroom piece says why, it seems to me: "to better align our pricing with the value that our products and services provide.", aka because we want to make more money and we hav…

    Privacy.com doesn't believe anyone would want their service if they have a land-line, and not a mobile. "Give us your phone number", okay, "we sent a confirmation SMS" ... hahahaha…

    Hosting can cost quite a lot, these days usually due to data transfer but storage and compute can certainly pile up.

    You can host your own Send, and the host need not exist when there's nothing you are sharing which is right in-line with utility computing as provided by "cloud" hosting companies …

    Alas it is just another battle (not initial, there have been others) in a war of escalation.

    Everyone except nutters. Google bounces. Microsoft too. I don't know of any provider that doesn't. Surely someone somewhere does not bounce but they are in the minority.
