While I can't speak on the privacy part (I don't know if anybody is +listening to that channel besides me), I can update on the spam part. Since +going live I recieved exactly 0 unsolicited messages. Nada, zilch, +bupkis, גורנישט. I'm a little disappointed in that since it shows that my blog +is not read by millions of people (a shock, I know). But it also seems that +automated scanners, scanning repos in Github don't act on this kind of +information. With that, I plan on keeping everything running for the foreseeable +furture.
