Not disputing the article, nor insinuating that there's some ulterior motive, but it's curious that this blog has only one post; and the About page suggests a lengthier history (with references to what would have been previous posts).
I often think the best way to defeat email open tracking would be for a mainstream email client to prefetch every image when a non-spam email is received and cache it for 72 hours or so. Every email gets flagged as “opened,” so the flag is meaningless, and recipients can see the images without triggering a tracker.
The company also ran a mail filter called Baracuda or something similar that followed links in emails to see if they were malicious.
I was quite annoyed when I was called to do the mandatory training as "I" had clicked a link (on an email I hadn't seen) and more so when told I had no other recourse than to sit through it.
I resigned shortly afterwards.

Author here! Are you referring to the "What’s inside this vendor’s VMware images?" on the about page? That is merely an illustration of what goes on inside my head. This is the first article on my blog.
Best of luck to you on your blog. I would suggest you also add a "welcome to my blog" post where you give a little background about why you're writing the blog and what kinds of content readers can hope to see in the future. There's no denying that you have little content, so you might as well make it clear to readers _why_ that is. Plus, it sets them up to be interested to see what's coming next.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, those were the suggestions which made me think there was a disparity between the About and the posts (or lack thereof). Best of luck to you on your blog.

An automated system processing emails isn’t going to be fetching images or rendering attached SVGs.

That still provides “human” vs “bot” feedback to the sender. An automated system processing emails isn’t going to be fetching images or rendering attached SVGs.
