To be fair, I found a freely accessible version of this with a single search. Also to be fair, it wasn't the published version.
I don't have ONE email address, I have hundreds. I use a unique email address and password for everything i sign up for. I use a custom domain, and use steam@mydomain.com, or lemmy.vg@mydomain.com etc. so even if one of those sites are breached, all they get is one email and one unique password.
I have seen this approach from other people as well. How do you feel about them knowing your custom domain? Then it's easier to search for other mail addresses of that domain as well?
I use the aliases from Proton which make me feel a bit more 'safe'. Downside is that I'm locked into Proton.. :)
That’s possibly true, but I still use a long password, so even if they do, I use 150 char characters where possible. So they’re not getting in. Password managers ftw
Well try aren't brute forcing 150 chars, that's for sure, but don't mistake that as the same as "they're not getting in".

That has happened to me... twice. Once they sent spam to abuse@ and once to postmaster@. Both of those are "well-known" addresses that received one spam mail each.
Having your own domain with a catch-all address is rare enough that spammers don't seem to try to target it.
Meanwhile I set up straight-to-spam rules for a handful of companies that leaked my email address. Very useful.
I also use a custom domain. Basically, as long as you accept that the domain might be linked to your IRL name, it's more of a privacy issue in that regard. The custom domain means you don't ever have to stick with one company forever, also. My email address is portable to any hosting service.
Spammers and scammers work in databases of hundreds of thousands of records they buy. Anything that doesn't immediately return a hit is chaff to be deleted. There's no incentive to root through thousands of credential combos and see if your human brain can see a pattern to tweak, short of targeted attacks about you as a person. If the custom domain doesn't stand out as a business with website worth sending ransomware, what's the reason to be a target? No one will waste time on a custom domain just in hopes of getting someone's 27 addresses just to send important dick pill meds spam.
I get zero spam after a year or so with a custom domain. My neutered gmail still gets flooded with spam.
I use thepresident@whitehouse.gov. The only website I've found that won't take this address is quiznos wifi

I used to live like a savage with everything tied to one email, and had a few regular spam shields. Damned fool small smooth brain idiot way of living!
I don't know why I didn't do a custom domain 10 years ago. The level of security buffering it offers is worth every penny alone. Someone gets aggressively spammy? Fine, I'll delete the fucking email address, enjoy the bounceback, dicks. Every breach reinforces the idea that this is a good call, giving data leaks worthless garbage. It genuinely gives me a feeling of freedom.
Also, you easily know the source of the breach.
And getting a lot more difficult to find email that doesn't want your phone number, while getting more difficult to buy a phone without giving out your personal information.
Ugh, yeah. I got gifted an article and now they won't leave me alone. I can't get off their email list without giving them my email that they already have so I can make an account with them I don't want so I can get off the email list I'm already on. FFS man
Report every post they send you. It will be their problem eventually.

Doesn't everyone have a shit email they use for porn and other dodgy stuff?
Yeah, a dead one that literally doesn’t function anymore. If they “require confirmation” then I no longer need to read whatever is being gatekept.
Also, 90% of the time, a@b.com works.
Also, 90% of the time, a@b.com works.
I'm always amused how often fuck@you.com works
I feel bad for whoever owns you.com
Seems like it would be an innocent new agey spiritual affirmation kind of site. Actually, it’s probably some bullshit, so never mind.

10 Minute E-Mails are the best, you can confirm it exists, and they don't get any (usable) data
Sort of. I have a "catch-all" address (that's just the most legit looking result to a search for the phrase, I won't vouch for whether it's a good site). Basically anything@domain.com goes to spam@domain.com. It's a bit awkward if you need to respond, but otherwise, it's good for signing up to sites and it makes it easy to filter out ones that spam you and don't provide a good unsubscribe link.
psst, if you have a catchall like that, you can probably SEND from anything@yourdomain.com too! We sure can.
You just need a client that lets you type in the From field. Some do, some don't.

As much as I'm mildly technically competent, I tend to interact with my email from a browser. Generally speaking, it's not that easy to alter headers in that environment.
Oh, you don't need to go header-diving or anything. Just a client that lets you do that. Dunno if any browser-based ones do, but they certainly technically could.
Like the Times.
Yeah, it's my gmail address.
My old hotmail gets all that stuff. Awhile back they added some stuff to automatically keep it clean-ish, mainly the sweep feature. Plus I have addy.io that forwards a bunch of stuff to it.

fuck the times
what's wrong with the times?
Billionaire owner caters to bullshit ideals in their opinion pieces all the time. Lots of great journalists work for them and The Athletic though.
which billionaires? what's the athletic?
They were founded as a reaction to the other big paper's european correspondent being sorta communist.
Theyve only gotten more reactionary since.
what's a good alternative?
For the puzzles? I have a sudoku app on my phone im quite fond of.

I always make up an email address. fakename@fakedomain.com. If they require a confirmation, I use a forwarder and forward to a yahoo account that I never use and has all fake profile info. Fake name, fake birthday, fake profile pic. I log in maybe twice per year and delete everything.
Ahhhhh, good idea. A burner trash email.with fake details. I don't know why I didn't think of that.
10 Minute E-Mails are your friend.
Make your first or last name the name of the website so you know who sold your email address to spammers.

sadly more and more sites are rejecting many of the easily accessible mail forwarders and temp email services.

Lmao they never consider that you have like. 5 emails.
What a fucking concept.
Use the element zapper mode in uBlock Origin. Makes the shit go away
Except for when the text isn't actually loaded underneath and you only get like an extra paragraph at most.
Yeah, happens to me too. Sometimes it works and sometimes it won't. Just have to keep trying. Or use SimpleLogin or Addy for email aliases
