Other email providers don't allow recycling of account names - once they're gone, they're gone. That said, I do agree that using a domain you own is better practice. However, I hav…

I cannot recommend fastmail to anyone for the simple reason that if your account expires and gets deleted, anyone can create an account with the same email address and take over yo…

What do you guys recommend as a good way to continue work undisrupted when GitHub goes down? A second remote mirror?

Outlook add-on to give the ability to "undo" sending email. It just mimicked the functionality in Gmail where it holds your email for 10/30/60 seconds before sending, which gives y…

I guess it's a bad time to make a presentation to let us move from an on-prem SVN repo to GitHub...

I'm not saying Deliveroo isn't in the wrong here - they absolutely should have more defenses, but I still think this argument makes little sense. What if they have the defences in …

Do you have a source for that? If that is the case then pretty much every major website is in breach. Credential stuffing is rampant and very easy to do these days. It's not the we…
