Cock.li — Service Update Log The goal of this file is to provide a single document which contains all updates to cock.li since 2024-11-12. Updates are posted at the top, so the contents are reverse-chronological. Previous updates are not immutable. Use `diff` on a previously downloaded copy to easily see all changes. ~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~ 2024-12-02 Thank you very much for your gracious support to cock.li over the last few weeks. The cock.li team wants you to know that your donations have allowed us to place fighting for cock.li as our top priority. This new era for cock.li means you can rest assured that we will make efforts to keep our userbase updated on the current happenings to the maximum extent possible. Cock.li started as a hobby project, and was slowly neglected over the years as upkeep mounted while interest in the project waned. Now that engaged people are working on the site every day again, you should expect that you will have some descriptions of the work that's going on, i.e. where your money is going. If it seems like work is currently slow, that's because most of the required work is in the background, and it would be unwise to detail it at this point. Some day, our work will be less serious, and the quality of updates should improve further. Until then, I hope you will appreciate this list of our current priorities: ------ High priority 1. RED ⟶ ORANGE alert (top priority) 2. Regular maintenance 3. Restore password changes 4. Finish DNS migration and expansion 5. Hardware maintenance & security 6. New website with all features ------ Medium priority 1. Updates 2. E-mail deliverability 3. Financial reports 4. Reimbursement calculations (for many $100s of bills not paid by cock.li over many years) 5. Mail storage improvements 6. New PGP keys 7. Status page 8. Update feeds (TXT+RSS) 9. Team contacts 10. Monitor improvements ------ Low priority / Future work 1. Writing about cock.li (its history, tech, and philosophy) Of course, these priorities will change as our work develops and our minds wander. This list should be updated as needed. Thanks again for your support. Back to work! -Team cock.li ~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~ Donate to cock.li Cock.li maintains two types of funds: SERVICESAFU and TEAMSAFU, used for operating and staffing costs, respectively. There are two funds because for over 10 years, no one directly related to cock.li was allowed to be paid for their work on it. TEAMSAFU is our solution to allow us to get paid for our work on cock.li, and there's much work to be done. ## SERVICESAFU SERVICESAFU is cock.li's operating expense fund. Expenses paid from this fund include costs for hosting, legal, domain registration, and contingencies. This fund is still spending donations made 5 years ago, and should be well-funded even for the current red alert. But if you want to know your donation will be spent in the safest manner, this is where you send it. The donations and expenses related to the Bitcoin wallets of SERVICESAFU are disclosed in cock.li's financial reports (which haven't been updated in 3 years, but will be "some day") d(o_ od) Monero: 44vHmnRmhcXiqq348LPGwxSPfvrN4pAKzb1GypnQn65c824N9MsKk2Z5okYCUieYy58u2DYHT4HToK1hXuqnk7QdNfe3nLL Bitcoin: bc1q4pxl6727zj0s37zarhu20lsg72ac3htvlsv52l ## TEAMSAFU The SERVICE can't be SAFU if the TEAM isn't. In contrast to the service fund, TEAMSAFU allows our team to be paid for their work on cock.li, or for any purpose we see fit. Donations to this fund will directly encourage us to continue our work on the service. Its donations and expenses are not included in cock.li's financial reports, but the Bitcoin wallets can be publicly analyzed on the "block chain". d(o_ od) Monero: 41fqXKYNEWuBDuqYczhoSiE1aUN9tCGdWYrfjynebuTM3tdE5UUHEfeZjZ3iZpgqY8LdYLk9h4As66UBC5mARL4z98PfUwB Bitcoin: bc1qg9ehmfzusgfd6dvudll0qxkcl8c5q3sh8qnetr ~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~ Red alert updates: - memes - More DNS servers are being added and the old server will be removed. - Everything was down for about 24 hou-MULTIPLE DAYS AND COUNTING due to upstream datacenter outage affecting DNS, and the disk *disappearing* when the host came back. Uh oh. - Red -> Orange Alert soon hopefully. - My fellow retards: cock.li has not "shut down". You may need to read more than the first line. - Anyone suggesting you migrate your account to Gmail, Yahoo, Proton, etc. should not have been using cock.li in the first place. Normalfags get off my fucking board. - Feel free to migrate, I don't have any good suggestions though. Try that on Proton! - PW changes and maybe registration will be back within a "couple days". ~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~!~ COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT. Date posted: 2024-11-12 🚨 COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT. Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase under duress of any government or organization. For nearly 11 years, cock.li has remained one of the only public e-mail providers to allow registration as anonymously as a library card. The fact that it's still possible to get an e-mail address as easy as 20 years ago is a fact widely *hated* by international governments; at least the parts of those governments which have dedicated countless resources to target our service, our team, our family, and our friends with illegal surveillance, bad-jacketing, organized disinformation, and much worse. A combination of these illegal tactics have become so serious that the site is now in grave danger. The only way it's been possible for cock.li to weather this and stay online is thanks to the dedication of our entire lives to this bit. Our small team of 3-5 people have had our lives permanently altered and our stability sacrificed so Internet users worldwide can more-or-less enjoy the comfort of being able to access e-mail without requiring a phone number or other surveillance document. Despite the constant attacks on the service and our personal lives, no one directly involved has ever been paid in 11 years for their work on cock.li. The personal costs of this volunteer work add up over a lifetime, and as we get older we've slowly taken steps back to compensate, when we should have been stepping up. Stepping up is exactly what's needed right now, and we're here to do it. These recent issues have forced us to take leave from our jobs to make time just to keep the wheels spinning. I hope you can understand that is why, for the first time ever, I'm asking you to donate directly to the people who make cock.li possible. Your donation will make a real difference by telling us to use the money where it will help the most right now. We have a sizable war chest for legal expenses that has never once been used to pay us for our work. Problem is, if we can't make time to put that war chest to work, what good is it? We believe cannibalizing this fund to offset our lost time would put cock.li in a worse position, so by creating a new fund we can make it clear what we're doing while keeping our legal funds secure. It shouldn't surprise you that the people who are so passionate about this service are not profiteers or business people. We are private, unpaid individuals who don't want to see one of the last great liberties of this Internet fall victim to the criminal and violent attempts to shut it down. If these critical threats force us to change the world to ensure e-mail remains recognized as a human right, we won't hesitate to do it. We never once asked for personal donations specifically in the hopes that if this moment ever came, our userbase would appreciate that we were able to make it this long on passion alone, and trust that your donation will make the best possible impact. There is much work to be done. I will keep you updated as much as I can. Thank you very much for your consideration. ~!~ Fun facts about cock.li: User count: ~1,400,000 Established: 2013 Domains: cock.li airmail.cc 420blaze.it aaathats3as.com cumallover.me dicksinhisan.us loves.dicksinhisan.us wants.dicksinhisan.us dicksinmyan.us loves.dicksinmyan.us wants.dicksinmyan.us horsefucker.org national.shitposting.agency tfwno.gf cock.lu cock.email firemail.cc memeware.net cocaine.ninja waifu.club
