This is what my fetchmail log looks like today (UIDs and domains obfuscated):

In principle I should be able to report the exit node somewhere. But I don’t even know how I can determine which exit node is the culprit. Running nyx just shows some of the circuits (guard, middle, exit) but I seem to have no way of associating those circuits with fetchmail’s traffic.

Anyone know how to track which exit node is used for various sessions? I could of course pin an exit node to a domain, then I would know it, but that loses the benefit of random selection.

I hope this question doesn’t piss anyone off.. it was censored on lemmy.ml.

I’m looking for 3rd-party banks that issue debit cards for use on the Discover / Diner’s Club network. It’s quite rare. Visa, Mastercard, and AmEx are more common and easier to find, but I have a number of objections to those companies. Discover is a clear lesser of evils. This is what I know from past and present searches:

• (FL) https://cadencebank.com ← Cloudflare, not interested
• (GA) colony.bank ← dead (or blocks Tor)
• (IL) https://www.oldsecond.com ← used to have a Discover debit card but no longer. Rumored to have a Discover credit card but I don’t see mention of it on their website
• (KY) cfsbky.com ← Cloudflare, not interested
• (MD) https://www.oldlinebank.com ← dead (or blocks Tor)
• (PA) jbt.bank ← Sucuri, not interested
• (TX) thebankandtrust.com ← Cloudflare, not interested
• (TX) www.extracobanks.com ← blocks Tor
• (WI) https://www.guardiancu.org ← dead (or blocks Tor)

If I overlooked any please mention it (even if it’s Cloudflare, just to know the options). It’s a paltry list considering there are thousands of banks and credit unions nationwide.. and I only found 9.

True Value hardware used to have a Discover credit card but discontinued that in 2020.

There’s some chatter that Capital One may acquire Discovercard. It will be a shame if that happens, but the upside could be that more 3rd-party Discovercards emerge from it.

My credit union has been spamming me for years. As the volume of their bulk junk mail increases, I’m looking for a way out. Their email is HTML-only. So my text mail client only renders the raw text “To unsubscribe and stop receiving emails click here”. And “here” is obviously just text because it’s a text terminal.

Is that legal?

Suppose it is. So I dissect the HTML and fish out the link from a heap of garbage. The link does not go to the credit union’s website (if it did, that would be a non-starter anyway because I canceled my web account when they started blocking Tor). The link goes to a 3rd party site which also blocks Tor. So apparently as a precondition to opting out of spam I must share my personal IP address with a 3rd party agent of spam. Perhaps I can play whack-a-mole with a series of VPNs but I’m not interested. I just want to know if the opt-out procedure can legally be exclusive in this way. Can a legal challenge be mounted that forces them to provide an opt-out mechanism that’s inclusive?

The legal text is this:

(ii) clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity under paragraph (3) to decline to receive further commercial electronic mail messages from the sender;

I don’t know the legal meaning of “clear and conspicuous”, so I’m not sure if nesting it in HTML satisfies that requirement. But it’s strange that they must merely give notice of the opportunity to opt-out, apparently without actually giving the opportunity to opt-out (just notice thereof IIUC).

Has anyone found a Debian client for Lemmy? I’m really surprised nothing exists yet and wonder if my search skills are just lacking. This is what found:

• lemoa is non-Debian, and dying
• neonmodem is non-Debian, and crashes
• nnreddit is non-Debian, and only rumored to be getting ported to activitypub; the repo for that project is a broken website for me

(Non-debian just means they are not in the Debian repos, not that they don’t work on Debian).

Just wondering if anyone has managed access Lemmy from emacs in any way. Theoretically, this may be feasible:

emacs (gnus) → nnreddit → lemmy

But I’ve not heard anything solid about whether nnreddit has been adapted to interface with a lemmy server. This bug report has been open for the past year:

https://github.com/dickmao/nnreddit/issues/90

OTOH, the project moved to a website that’s broken (at least, for me it’s broken).
