    I loved this recent "Show HN", I found some gems for the reading list in 2026! Books mentioned on Hacker News in 2025 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46345897

    It’s not just websites :-/ Things like Apple private relay (which way too many people seem to have it enabled) are tunnelled via Cloudflare, maybe using warp?

    Tried them with a domain that gets a bunch of spam, unfortunately their filtering is not as good as others like Fastmail it seems.

    Chatmail relays can be run by anyone, they are designed to be fairly minimal and lightweight, just running what is needed to support the "encrypted chat" part, not regular email.

    FWIW I find https://tldes.com pretty useful for keeping an eye on who is currently offering the best renewal for various TLDs I use.
