    What are SPF-records?

    SPF or Senders Policy Framework was formerly known as Sender Permitted From, and sometimes also called SMTP+SPF. In 2004 it became known as Sender Policy Framework.

    SPF is a system that is used by a domain to prevent email spam by detecting if a sender is using email “spoofing.” Spoofing is when a sender is trying to falsify where their email originates from. An SPF record is a TXT-record in a Domain Name System (DNS). SPF records simply list all the servers that are allowed to send email from your domain.

    New video-review of Blotter by David Loeser


    Corrections/clarifications to the video:

    • The topmost bar is for all-day events.
    • All syncing happens via iCal. Hence you may need iCal running for Blotter to fully sync.

    We’re helping users bypass government censorship with the Tor Project

    We’ve always been big fans of the Tor Project. For those of you who are not familiar with Tor, it is a tool that enables users to bypass internet censorship and anonymize user activity. In many oppressive countries Tor is one of the few ways the citizens can communicate with the outside world. Tor is also a critical tool for human rights activists and journalists around the globe.

    A few days Jacob Appelbaum, one of Tor Project’s core members sent out a message to the Tor mailing list, urging for help after an increased crackdown in Iran. This can be seen in the image below.

    We wanted to help out, so we reached out to cloud vendors to see if they were willing to help. Luckily they were. Thanks to the kind contribution of servers from CityCloud, we now have five Tor-relays up and running in Sweden (with obfsproxy).

    We also expect to soon have more Tor-relays up and running in Switzerland on CloudSigma‘s network.

    Quiet 1.5 is here

    Today we’ve launched both an update to Blotter and an update to Quiet.

    The 1.5 update of Quiet is primarily about improving performance and adding more compliance with Apple’s Mac App Store regulations (as a result the ‘Hide Dock’ feature had to be removed). We apologize about having to remove this feature, but we don’t make the rules.

    • The ‘Hide Dock’ option has been removed.
    • Focus out is now more battery efficient and CPU friendly.
    • Fade To Black and Wallpaper options fade in more smoothly.
    • Resolved a graphical corruption issue with Focus Out.
    • Restores Snow Leopard support
