workspace (gsuite) customers: remember to claim under the SLA, cos they don't award it automatically

under 99.9% is a 3 day credit, and they're currently at 99.4%

Logically you'd expect unsubscribe to only act after lots of bounces of this format when the address has been receiving mail fine before. It also seems reasonable not to trust such bounces for the entire domain for a while when this happens to lots of other addresses that have worked fine before. Not that I expect software currently works this way, but it does seem like a common sense thing to code in.

I mean, it's possible , but you'd need to queue up a day's worth of bounces, do the analysis, and then handle the bounces asynchronously later on to do that. Most systems operate more immediately in isolation on individual addresses than that right now, because such analysis is generally not needed (until today, of course ;-)).

Mail agents already queue emails that bounce though; it's a matter of changing the conditions for when you retry and/or unsubscribe. I imagine you can do the analysis in real time too... just look at the bounce and see if it pertains to an email you sent to in the past, and if so, increment some rolling counter for that domain.

Which timezone is my local timezone? A bunch of geolocation systems think I'm in Paris. I'm in Melbourne. (My ISP bought an IP block that used to be registered to a French company). That's a considerable difference.

It's not geolocation - just a javascript function to ask the browser what the UTC offset of your local time is. See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1091372/getting-the-clie...

Which JavaScript function? The two main ones return two differing results for my browser.

  Intl.DateTimeFormat().resolvedOptions().timeZone

  > "Australia/Melbourne"
Which is UTC +11.

   new Date().getTimezoneOffset()

   > -710
Which is roughly UTC +11.8.

If you're going to shoebox me into a particular timezone - tell me what it is, and let me change it.

Anyone else having issues in general with "the internet" over the last few days? The images on different websites I've visited don't load (e.g. twitter, bbc etc). When they do they load, they load verrry slowly

Yes, they Internet has felt for lack of better word “weird” for the past couple days. Nothing specific but similar to your experience with random things not loading but refresh and it’s fine etc. Or strangely slow response on websites.

There used to be times when people didn't care for technicalities like this because the focus was on the person's contribution to the discussion. Now that everyone's replaceable, the popular culture desperately tries to shift focus into arguing about pronouns and terms. Watch out, this is a road to nowhere. Forcing others to use the right pronoun won't build up your retirement fund, but will distract you from worryin…

I’ve read a lot of horseshit reasons against showing the least possible shred of humanity by using someone’s correct pronouns, but “then the Illuminati will steal your 401k!” is a new one.

Over the past 24 hours, I've had GitHub request that I re-verify my gmail three times (roughly 22 hours ago, 2 hours ago, and now), each time resetting my primary email's status to "Undeliverable" and "Unverified" The triggering event may be an email bounce. I get a lot of github notifications sent to my email, and the failure of just one/a few may trigger the reverification.

I also had the same hard bounce (when emailing from a non-gmail address -- fastmail -- to a gmail address). Sent it again minutes later and then it worked.
