Danish UCE... #Coop

🕓︎ - 2000-09-14

Today I received a Danish UCE - Unsolicited Commercial Email - sometimes reffered to as spam.

Something called "resonance.dk" trying to push a cd to me. But that's not all - they put me on their mailinglist without my consent, even without my knowledge!

Frankly, I'm appalled. If Danish is understandable to you, read on the (not finished, not announced anywhere) Rune T-page.

How to in excruciating detail…

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.

I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.

To post a comment here, you need to:

  • Configure a newsreader¹ to connect to the server koldfront.dk on port 1119 using nntps (nntp over TLS).
  • Open the newsgroup called lantern.koldfront and post a follow up to the article.
¹ Such as Thunderbird, Pan, slrn, tin or Gnus (part of Emacs).
