Starting today, we have a new service: metadata.systemli.org, a metadata cleaner.
At metadata.systemli.org you can upload files and let them be cleaned of metadata. That’s particularly useful to obfuscate autors and editors of the files. To remove metadata, the program mat2 is used.
We copied a bit from our friends at Riseup and improved our pad service.
When creating new pads, there’s now three options for the expiry time that you can choose from. For ephemeral pads you choose “1 Tag” (1 day), the default stays “30 Tage” (30 days) and for long-lasting projects, there’s “1 Jahr” (1 year).
From today on, there will be a new contact address: support@systemli.org. Please use this address for all your requests regarding our services.
Today, we switch the TLS certificate of our jabber server to LetsEncrypt. Thus, our last long-lasting fingerprint is gone. Read more about this in our original announcement.
We’ve been busy with our user portal. Recently, we’ve added a new feature for you: You can now manage your own alias addresses. Those are e-mail addresses, which act as a pseudonym for your own e-mail addresses. You can have three chosen and up to 100 random alias addresses. The latter, are supposed to be used in web shops or alike.
Already in 2017, we had announced to work onto enabling mandatory transport encryption of e-mails. People have been saying for a long time this is impossible, because e-mail infrastructure is too old and badly maintained. Our tests in the last 1,5 years showed us a different picture.
It´s time again, the next Chaos Communication Congress (C3) starts soon. Recently, the Call for Participation for 35C3 has been published. Last year, there has been some discussion around sexist behaviour at and around the congress. So far, there has been no public statement by the organizers we know of.
On the 16.08.2018 and the 17.08.2018 from 11:00 onwards some of our services won’t be available for a limited amount of time. We try to let those downtime as short as possible. This is due to multiple necessary works on our hardware.
