Spam Received on Email Alias

Thu, 30 Jul 2026 01:05:27 +0200

If you’ve read a few of my previous posts, you’ve probably noticed that I’m a big fan of SimpleLogin. It allows you to create a unique email alias for every online account, so you never have to hand out your real email address.

Besides the obvious privacy benefits, there’s another advantage that people often mention: if a company suffers a data breach or decides to sell your email address, you’ll know exactly who leaked it. Since every service gets its own unique alias, any spam sent to that alias immediately tells you where your address came from.

Reading Books With Ai

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Do you know the feeling when you’re struggling through a difficult book? Sometimes you’ll catch yourself just reading the words, not really understanding what they mean…

It happens to me all the time.

And I know why it always does.

I read something that I think I sort of understand, but in reality I really don’t.

What do I do?

I read on anyways..

And what always happens?

The author further builds upon that very thing I don’t understand.

How I almost got scammed trough Spearphising

Mon, 15 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

I recently received a series of emails from what appeared to be Porkbun, the DNS provider for my domain japerre.xyz, urging me to renew my premium plan.

At first glance, these emails seemed harmless enough. However, they landed in my spam folder, which was the first red flag that something might be off.

Suspicion set in… Was Porkbun compromised? How else did these scammers obtain my email? Then it struck me that I don’t use my personal email with Porkbun and these scammers got my email simply because well… I gave it to them by having it in the footer of my blog 🤦‍♂️.

How to Use Youtube Like a Sane Person

Sun, 31 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Transitioning to FreeTube, an open-source desktop client for YouTube, has significantly transformed my approach to content consumption on the platform. Available on GitHub, FreeTube offers a comprehensive YouTube browsing experience, mirroring almost all functionalities except for the ability to post comments — though reading them is still an option. Switching to FreeTube has fostered a more intentional and mindful engagement with content. The absence of algorithm-driven recommendations means I’m no longer passively consuming whatever is served up by YouTube’s algorithms. Instead, I actively choose what to watch by keeping up with channels I’ve consciously decided to follow.

Seamless Transition: How Using Email Aliases With SimpleLogin Saved Me When Skiff Shut Down

Mon, 19 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The news recently broke that Skiff is joining Notion and that their email services will come to a halt in 6 months. This practically means that every online account using skiff has to have its email updated in 6 months time. This is mildly annoying to do for one or two websites, but people usually have hundreds of accounts and changing email for every one of them is a very time consuming task. What’s worse, is that people often don’t know exactly to which sites they’re signed up with their email account. They will surely think about their Facebook, Twitter and Youtube account, but what about that obscure crypto exchange you forgot you had an account for? This leaves a big doubt in the back of people’s heads: “Did I update all of my accounts?”
