COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT

suutsuut Member
in General

Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase by duress of any government or organization.
https://www.cock.li/

cock.li is an anonymous, privacy-first mailbox. I hope providers will allow users of cock.li to change their email address once.

    Don't a bunch of bad actors & ransomware groups use cock.li? Sounds like they're already complicit in a bunch of other crimes.

    Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase by 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. This has only been possible by the dedication of our entire lives to this bit. Our small team of 3-5 people has permanently sacrificed the stability of our lives 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.

    99% of the sacrifices made to keep this site online have never been made public. Despite the extreme personal costs, no one directly involved has ever been paid in 11 years for their work on cock.li. For the first time ever, I'm asking you to donate directly to the small team that makes cock.li possible.

    We have a sizable donation pool for hosting and legal expenses. Sadly, our real lives got in the way as we get older, and we've been taking steps back to compensate when we should have been stepping up. Now is your chance to make a real difference by telling us to use your donation where it will help the most right now: to allow our small team to step away from our jobs and pour all of our passion into this service to keep it alive.

    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 came, our userbase will 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.

    • 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.

    Um, you have to give your name and address and show ID to get a library card at any library I've ever been to.

    I have to correct you both. The majority of scammers and real criminals use gmail to remain inconspicuous. Proton and Cock.li are for privacy enthusiasts!
    However, there may be some black sheeps among the users too.

    the majority? maybe. but the best, the actual threats, are going to orbit towards more private less blatant honeypots (the very best won't use email at all, because it's just a bad idea and it's easy to slip up, see pompompurin)

    According to the (currently only) NS host:

    "We would like to inform you that the UPS located in our data center has malfunctioned. Unfortunately, the repair process will take longer than usual, as the necessary parts for resolving the issue are currently unavailable"

    The process has been started to quickly add more nameservers, unfortunately a number of hosting companies housing our DNS have disappeared recently due to more-suspicious-than-usual circumstances.

    We recently had to fly someone to another country and hire a private investigator to track down a disappeared host who refused to allow us any access to our disks while he had them plugged into his computers to try to crack into them.

    So, while it may just look like the site has been down all day, please spread the word that we're working on a bit more than just an NS record.

    What kind of story is this suppose to be?

    Private investigators and hosting providers that disappear due to "more-suspicious-than-usual" circumstances?

    How paranoid can you become by running an email provider? :sweat_smile:

    It's a DNS server, just reprovision it. What data is gonna be stored on those NS servers that isn't in public caches?

    Spin up a handful of VM's anywhere and things should be fine, no? Gone are the days of multi day root DNS updates.

    Legitimately paranoid, if the story of the hoster taking his disks offline to steal the data. /s

    there is no alternative to cock. Those guys are non-profit (at least that was goal). Protonmail, incog is for profit. Ghostbox seems more relevant, but they still charge "activation fee".
