  • I’m not sure why people are trying convince me to change my mind on something.

    I have seen it in my logs with my own eyes. I wish I could be left alone without having to bother looking into it.

    Whatever the reason is. Someone is crawling through dictionaries of address. It is slow but steady. It started with abuse@ and other generic addresses and then started trying names. I blocked the sending SMTP server once I realized what was going-on.

    What am I suppose to do? Ignore it and just triage in inbox?



  • Does it?

    Do you think spammer will just stop at the first address and then call it a day?

    In my experience there is no such thing as a “catch all” domain address. The second your domain leaks then many spammer will just go into a frenzy and try hundreds or thousands of mail aliases.

    Especially since they can’t really spam Gmail as easily (since early 2024) they will even more aggressively spam any other domain.


  • I’m a bit skeptical on the Email alias feature but this is a really cool project.

    I just don’t know how practical it is to use custom domains to receive those confirmation emails.

    Wouldn’t you receive a ton of spam once your email domain leaks (which will eventually happen)?

    Email is also useful for password reset.




  • The Official client was mid at best and hundred of thousands of people where on various third party apps.

    Then Spez wanted to sell API access to train AI so it became prohibitively expensive for most third party reddit clients to continue.

    So I didn’t want to use their app and on top of that it was to sell my data to AI businesses.

    I actually wanted to nuke all my comments to be sure they couldn’t use them but didn’t manage to do it reliably.

    But yeah the fact that they completely killed the reddit client I used just to sell my data for AI training was the last straw for me.

    Also reddit was getting quite toxic especially in some subreddits IMO.




  • I literally don’t understand people having kids in this “climate”. That’s how cynical and hopeless I feel about humanity’s future.

    I wouldn’t want to inflict that… The heat, the natural disasters, the risk of nuclear wars. The genocides considering multiple were or are active at any point (Palestine, Syria…). The fall of journalism…

    Many things I discuss with my friends but nobody could ever dream to fix. So all this shit stays with you. And seeing how our politics are reacting to climate change, this is lost. Because everything else is pointless if you don’t have a place to live.
