This is not expected. I don't see it on the instances I manage. In the `static` directory, I see ``` $ du -h -d 1 1.7M ./admin 12K ./facebook 68K ./django_extensions 4.0K ./browserid 68K ./django-mailman3 2.6M ./postorius 12K ./paintstore 1.6M ./rest_framework 5.2M ./hyperkitty 404K ./CACHE 12M . $ find -type f|wc 401 401 18253 ``` I think when you run the Django admin `collectstatic` command, you need to specify the `--clear` option. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

It depends heavily on how Mailman was installed to begin with, but essentially you just upgrade the various components to the latest versions using pip.

Are you absolutely sure that you want no one to be on your list anymore? There is a confirmation screen although it is not as strongly worded as you suggest. See https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/-/issues/545 for a discussion of this. There are screenshots there showing revised button labels and rearranging the cancel/remove buttons on the confirmation page. These changes have not been implemented as yet because I didn't think there was a clear direction.

I don't know if MySQL and MariaDB have different features that have different syntax, etc. That's what you're looking for. Any commands that are *not SQL* used to configure the database engine itself (for example the utf8mb4 parameter which MySQL has but PostgreSQL does not, does MariaDB need it?)

Problems come in when you delete the original example.com placeholder domain. I think you probably need to add SITE_ID=0 to settings.py so the Django figures out the site from the HTTP header rather than just assuming it's the same Postorius site for all lists. > 3.

That'd be the real "Daredevil" :) This will also work, I'm sure. But we'd be embarrassed after going to the trouble of making Mailman 3 handle multiple domains. Also you'd need separate instances of Mailman running, with their own /etc/mailman3-1 and /etc/mailman3-2, and more important you'd double the RSS and VM requirements by running two instances.

At this point, I don't think there is such a list/overview, and it changes all the time as more things get added/fixed in MM 3. Also, there are some Mailman 2.1 things that are supported in Mailman core, but settings for which are not exposed in Postorius. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

AFAIK all of the currently active Mailman > developers believe that social auth is a GoodThang[tm], so we're > unlikely to DTRT as you see it without your help. As the Mailman3 Debian Maintainers, we decided to disable social auth in the mailman3-web Debian package alltogether. That's because in general, we try to avoid "calling home" features in software when it's possible. Usually, these "call home" features are abused to track users behaviour. With Mailman3, it's not directly calling home. But still, adding so-called "social" authenticators to the mailman3 django application will expose users to the risk of clicking on those ID provider buttons. > > I need to migrate from mailman2 to mailman3 and was wondering why > > social accounts are enabled by default > > By default Mailman 3 is social media: you have a profile, you can be > searched in the indicies of the archives, and so on.

Clearly, these are not universally-valued > features, but I think that they justify the current defaults. Personally, I consider it a major privacy issue if one central instance (e.g. Facebook) is able to track on which platforms and services you authenticate. And to be honstes, I'm a bit irritated that those tracking features from big corporates like Facebook and Google, whose main business model is to aggregate as as much private data points as possible about as much users as possible are enabled by default in Mailman3 upstream. Besides the privacy concerns raised above, on problem with central authentication services is that they also create new single points of entry/failure.

I agree with Torge that those social auth providers should be disabled per default. IMHO, A sane default would be to list them in the settings.py but have them commented out. Cheers jonas
