It is not a "Dark Ages" issue. It is a ubiquity issue.
This mail address has ~10 mailing lists going to it. I fully control this email address (housed on my server in my house.)
If I had to check on a separate web site for this list, I would drop it. If I needed yet another client to view, I would also drop it. I don't keep up with ANY web forums, twitter, facebook, etc. I have screen sessions to the #lopsa, #lopsa-lounge, #asterisk and #gluster IRC channels that I glance at every few days when I am bored or need help with something.
I just don't have time to be swapping interfaces. On 07/12/15 13:37, Allan Irving wrote:
It was just a suggestion - no need for the aggressive reaction. Email is inherently insecure so I don’t see how Slack’s security comes into it. Slack offers features email never will. Additionally, as opposed to filter rules - you can open Slack when you can be bothered to respond to messages. Without filters you have an inbox full of LOPSA discuss emails. It was just a suggestion but given the response for outdated technology which is very insecure - it would seem that LOPSA really isn’t up to date. Are you really sending sensitive data over a mailing list? Then who’s to blame for it as a system administrator? A discussion list has and never should divulge confidential information seeing as this one is indexed by Google. You can stay in the dark ages but some of us are thinking ahead. Given the responses, it is clear to me that moving on into the modern century is the way forward.
