Great explanation! I didn’t know anything, now I know something. 🙏

They’re almost not even low key admitting it…

Betting that -a includes --volumes. 👍

the “standard” basically only strictly explains how to decode the data and any encoder that produces output that successfully decodes that way is fine

Ah, okay, this explains the whole aspect of it then, for me. :-) If this is how a certain format is described, then it makes sense that encoders can produce different data, which then will be decoded as different output as well, all while all parties are compliant with the specification. That makes much more sense. Thanks for taking the time to explain everything, including I-frames and P-frames! ;-)

Tldr.: no, you won’t get the same result

What I’m saying is, shouldn’t you?

It’s not a shame because of the amount of people we know, or how many people there are in total, that want to self-host email. It’s about the fact that it’s so difficult to set up, and hard to secure. I just wish it were simpler and more secure by default so that more people could roll their own and break free from ad-ridden and privacy-invading email services. 👍

How does that work? Aren’t two encoders of the same format supposed to produce the same output for the same input and configuration using some given algorithm? Otherwise I’d consider them different formats/codecs… 🤷‍♂️ Maybe that’s wrong of me?

Very anecdotal. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for that detailed reply. You have far greater needs than I do. 😊

It would be cool to do all these things and self-host. One day I’ll get there, in life.

That’s a shame.

I meant on the part of the host. Would it be easily preventable on the server if the ports weren’t blocked by the ISP?

That’s interesting. Is it easily preventable?

Thanks for clearing this up. I definitely have no use for this. I wish I did, but alas.

What made you switch from Proton to Mailbox, if you don’t mind sharing?

That’s insane to me. How is that a free and open Internet? Should be illegal.
