shouldn't compaction be interactive with the user as to what context will continue to be the most relevant in the future??? what if the harness allowed for a turn to clarify the user's expected future direction of the conversation

you are assuming i have users and this is a mail server not a website which has a very different access pattern more analogous to ssh where TOFU works beautifully.

for the use case of a single user IMAP server this is all way, way, too complicated and buys you nothing in terms of security. it's completely analogous to why we dont use CAs to validate openssh host certificates.

bad summary. it prompted you to accept the certificate upon first use and then pinned it which is far different than what you are describing in terms of security implications.

i saw a video on youtube where a guy intercepted https app traffic from an android app for a smart scale where the app used certificate pinning. there was some very automated tool for defeating the cert pinning. unfortunately i can't

how are you renewing the LE certificate if the domain is resolving to an internal ip? this seems like a big hoop to jump through.

per apple dev forums it seems like they have a history of breaking this and then fixing it. additionally, while IMAP is broken, calendars and notes seem to work just fine so hopefully it's not deliberate.

explain how a pinned self signed cert is insecure. i don't see it. it would seem to be more secure than one signed by a public CA that's not pinned.

unfortunately none of that applies to my setup. my imap server lives in a dmz and doesn't have all that other jazz.

i'm just using a hardcoded private ip to connect to the imap server. are you saying i can get a certificate with a hostname of "*" that will match ANY ip address?

https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/732409 (fixed url) seems like the issue is specifically with IMAP- I can confirm that calendar syncing works fine with the self signed cert. this is really disappointing.

I'm using a private ip over a vpn so I don't think that workaround will work for me. I don't really want a public dns record.

:-( hey lurking apple devs- can someone please escalate this?

There is an interesting argument to be made that pre-JT xz code is probably pretty secure due to the fact that the threat actors would have already audited the code for existing exploits prior to exerting effort to subvert it.

The killer is the "The bill also prevents investing in an entity in which the IRA owner is an officer." which is generally how the checkbook IRA is structured (IRA owner is the Manager of the single member LLC that is wholly owned

No, the LLC is the same as the plan in terms of rules against prohibited transactions. Apple thought experiment works, but if you are personally generating revenue that moves the needle on a IRA investment that would be a no-no.

They can easily stop the next Pete Thiel by capping the appreciated IRA balance which they have in fact added a provision for. I don't comprehend the scare tactic of killing the self-directed IRA.

That may be the case but they are casting a very wide net. The numbers I've seen say there are on the order of 100k-1MM self directed IRA accounts that exist. Approximately 0% of which are lucky enough to be Peter Thiel and invest in

No it doesn't as that would fall under the rules for prohibited transactions of which there are strict rules and penalties. See https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-participant-employ... .

Self directed IRAs are commonly used with a wholly owned single member LLC to invest IRA funds into real estate related investments such as rental properties or many other types of private investments. The new proposed tax bill seems to re
