On November 15th 2019 from 5:00pm (UTC+1) onwards, some of our services (cloud, some websites and jabber) will be unavailable for some hours. This is due to necessary maintenance work.
After longer internal testing, as of today we publicly offer encrypted Schleuder lists to groups and organizations for secure internal communication. Schleuder lists are special because incoming and outgoing mails are OpenPGP encrypted.
Systemli is a left-wing network and tech-collective. We support emancipatory groups and individuals with technical infrastructure and know-how, in our spare time. This explicitly doesn’t include free speech apologists or crypto market liberals. Therefore, we published our terms of services a while ago. Thereby, we aim to demonstrate for which projects we engage and in what scope.
We have increased the password security in the most recent version of our user portals. If you set a new password, it is automatically tested against the password database of “Have I been pwned”. First, your password “test” is transformed with SHA-1 hash function to “a94a8fe5ccb19ba61c4c0873d391e987982fbbd3”.
To improve your security, we have updated all our Onion Services to Version 3. Sadly, this changes the service addresses. Please update your client programs and bookmarks. After a transition period, we will disable the old Onion Services. A full list of all our Onion Services is available at the dedicated page.
- systemli.org uses mailbox encryption
- You should generate a recovery token in order to activate it
- Nevertheless, you should encrypt your mail using GnuPG
We’re proud to announce an important new feature: encryption of your mails on our servers, also known as mailbox encryption. Thanks to this technology, your mails will be encrypted using your password on our servers. One has to know your personal password (or recovery token) for decrypting and reading your mail. In other words, even malicious attackers with access to our servers would not be able to read your mail.
We had to temporarily turn off account registration on our Jabber-Server, because thousands of spam accounts got created by automated bots within the last days. For the same reason, we unfortunately felt impelled to delete all accounts that got registered within the last two weeks. If your account is amongh them, we hope that you understand and would like to ask you for some patience. In case that you’re in urgent need for a Jabber account, please have a look at our Friends.
During the last months, we have put a lot of work in our invitation and administration portal. Originally, we developed this tool in 2014 to simplify the access to our e-mail service. Later, we added a cloud storage with several features (calendar, contacts, etc.) to systemli.org mail accounts. Both are valuable features for our users, we hope. Today, we are very happy to present a new important feature: e-mail password recovery.
