almost made a post but i realized it was the kind of post that ive muted long-time mutuals over, so post canceled

after suffering the hell of #homelab email, why don't we fix it? Keep the addressing system, but use TOR as the transport.

The Concept: Stop routing email via legacy IP addresses. Use DNS to prove who you are and a DHT to find where you're hiding.

The Identity: Publish your Ed25519 Public Key in a DNS TXT record.

The Discovery: MTAs query a DHT (Kademlia) using a hash of that key to find your current location.

The Pipe: Connect via Tor (.onion) or I2P to bypass ISP blocks and Port 25.

The Payload: Standard SMTP over the dark tunnel.

The Win: It’s just Postfix with a custom "switchboard" script. No new protocols, no "Cloud" gatekeepers, and zero metadata for ISPs to sniff. Easy peasy.

Got this from No.1 son and his partner for our Christmas (part of a multi gift).
None of us were very sure what it was but knew it had caffeine in and, well, we don't do caffeine these days.
I thought I would try it and loaded up my Stove top coffee moka pot.

Thought it looked very dry and powdery.
Turned out to be instant powder.

Do not put instant coffee powder in a moka pot.
