anyone use any of those "we scan your paper mail and send it to you via email" services?

it seems like the perfect recipe for identity theft but I'm not living in the states and no longer have someone who can reliably check my mail for me

I use Travelling Mailbox for both mail and packages. sometimes I have them scan the contents, but usually I can tell from the outside if I want it. works well so far (past year).

Really, if I could just pay the USPS $10/mo to NOT deliver anything with AUTO in the address line, and maybe a blacklist for any advertisers that sneak through, that would solve 99% of my postal problems. Hell, just being able to block the loose sheet coupon mailers that gently caress everything up would be nice.

Of course, I know that's a pipe dream, but still.

I don't know if it's still going but there used to be a way to opt out of local coupon mailers and stuff, you just had to fill out some USPS form

i emailed them to ask about that and you cant. the flyers and stuff aren't addressed and they get paid to deliver to all boxes in a region so they don't have lists of who to deliver or not deliver to. if you're on the route, you get a flyer.

for a little bit our mail carrier would leave them in a stack on a table by the boxes instead of sticking them into the boxes which i thought was a great compromise but they had to stop.

eventually we'll get to the point where the only thing in your mailbox is trash and the key to the parcel box and then you can just dump it all directly into the trash instead of having to sort.

I know, I would just love a "we'll pay you to stop, please, please stop" arrangement. The marketers get "targeted" advertisements so it looks better, the USPS gets an extra cash flow, I don't get loving garbage in my mailbox. It should be a win win all around, but the same group that brought us CAN SPAM would kill even a hint of this.

a better solution would be to charge businesses more for delivery of properly addressed items and then eliminate delivery of non-addressed mail.

i've always had issues with post canada actually trying to deliver packages so i have a po box now, and i've started redirecting what little mail (non-statement bank stuff, gov't stuff) to it as well

i'm considering just never checking my mail box after i'm satisfied i'm not missing anything and let the next tenant deal with the metric fuckton of spam in the box

the windows 2000 leak wasn't much bigger than this: it only included enough code to allow the porting of internet explorer to unix (you'll remember that the origin of the leak was outsourcer mainsoft, who ported ie to solaris and hpux). it had ie, all of its components, and everything they depended on: win32, ole, the kernel, etc.

now, the nt4 leak was the real deal: it had the full source tree, complete with build system

the current source leak is just the microsoft "shared source" distribution -- the poo poo they give to anyone who asks nicely.

i am sure it has already been scrubbed of anything interesting by legal teams.

This didn't sit well with Flanagan, who used his knowledge of the Tower Gateway Basestations he installed to access these devices and disable their ability to communicate with their respective water utility providers' upstream equipment.
