Configuring Windows 10 with better privacy, performance, control, and fewer annoyances

As a reasonable computer user, I expect my operating system to not:

  1. send telemetry without my consent. Windows sends Microsoft a massive amount of personal data. [1] [2] [3] [4]
  2. update without my consent. Auto-updating is equivalent to a third-party being able to execute code remotely on my machine where I store private data. Even if an update is not malicious, updates change functionality, and I only want software to change if I know what will change and decide that I want it.
  3. tell me what I can or can't run on my computer. Apple does this w

Making efficient use of the libdispatch (GCD)

libdispatch efficiency tips

The libdispatch is one of the most misused API due to the way it was presented to us when it was introduced and for many years after that, and due to the confusing documentation and API. This page is a compilation of important things to know if you're going to use this library. Many references are available at the end of this document pointing to comments from Apple's very own libdispatch maintainer (Pierre Habouzit).

My take-aways are:

  • You should create very few, long-lived, well-defined queues. These queues should be seen as execution contexts in your program (gui, background work, ...) that benefit from executing in parallel. An important thing to note is that if these queues are all active at once, you will get as many threads running. In most apps, you probably do not need to create more than 3 or 4 queues.

  • Go serial first, and as you find performance bottle necks, measure why, and if concurrency helps, apply with care, always validating under system pressure. Reuse

Postfix Hardening for MX Guarddog

For this guide, the following assumptions are made:

  • MX Guarddog is being used to filter spam
  • MX records have been set to MX Guarddog's servers
  • Postfix successfully receives and delivers mail from MX Guarddog's servers

After following the instructions at MX Guarddog for setting up the MX records, email addresses, email server, and quarantine reports, everything should Just Work™. Spam should slow to a trickle; MX Guarddog does a really good job of spam filtering! The only thing they can't protect against is spammers that ignore the MX records of a server and try to connect directly to the server. For that, some configuration will need to be done. In addition to this, we'll also prevent submitting email on port 25 and only allow it on the submission port (587).
