Using unique email addresses makes phishing attempts extremely obvious… (No, this official looking email from my bank is fake since it was sent to Grocery@my.domain …)
I get a ton of "This is your email administrator -- your email password needs to be reset" to github@mydomain

I'm also on HIBP over 10x. What are we supposed to do? Create a new email address for every service we sign up for? I don't know what the best practice is for keeping our personal data safe anymore.
> Create a new email address for every service we sign up for? Yes! Just get a domain and have every email it go to you. Mine is something like “@super-secure-no-viruses.email”

Alarm didn't go off - Russia. Missed the bus - Russia. Stubbed my toe - FFS why is it always Russia? Not excusing it, Russia, China and Iran do make my honeypot's top ten list every month. But then again so do the US, UK and France....
Why does this link to the verge (garbage clickbait site) and not to the original source of the internet archive?

All you need is a domain and an email provider that allows catch-all addresses, both of which are easy and c…

This raises an interesting question: should email addresses be private? Addresses of buildings aren't private, and they're somewhat analogous as with many computing concepts. (Aside: Before spam filters were quite good, it was typical to avoid scraping of addresses by mild obfuscation, but I think those days are gone, and this is distinct from privacy anyway.) If someone wants to upload and never be found out, then t…
> should email addresses be private? I dunno. Should your personal phone number be private? Or your home address? Would you be okay if I knew it and shared it with a stranger? Or would you rather be asked permission to share it first? Seems pretty cut and dry to me.

Verge reports someone has taken credit for an ongoing DDOS against IA. "An account on X called SN_Blackmeta said it was behind the attack and implied that another attack was planned for tomorrow" https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/9/24266419/internet-archive...
