Oh I haven’t actually tried that part of it, thanks for the tip.

So with Proton pass, I create a new email alias for every online account. It will be formatted like mycustomalias.randomword12345@passmail.com. I set the text on each to the name of the site I make it for.

If I get an email to one, it goes to my hidden “main” address, which I haven’t given out to a single person on earth, not even my wife. When I get an email, I can reply to it using the alias. The sender cannot ever see my main email.

This has a few benefits. One, nobody knows who I am. A website cannot link me to another site. If there’s a data leak, one single email address is leaked. I can easily delete that alias and make a new one. Similarly, if I EVER get a spam email, I know which alias it was sent to, so I know who leaked it, or who decided to send me spam. Again, I can delete it and the spam source is gone.

Unlike something like “myemail+customalias@gmail.com”, which does allow me to use different emails for each place, this is untraceable. You cannot find my main email by looking at an alias.

And finally, this is more anonymous than using your own domain, as you share the same domain as many other people.

When I use Proton pass the password manager, it can generate one of these aliases in about 1 second and ties it to that saved password for super easy log in. No other configuration requird. It just works. (you can use and create aliases without passwords if you want)

The only alternative to Proton pass’s seamless integration with protonmail for untraceable aliases is self hosting bitwarden, making it accessible from outside your network, then either using a 3rd party email aliasing service or self-hosting email. So in other words, not viable or easy or secure for the vast majority of users except a small portion of power users.

I desperately want an alternative, but there just aren’t any. There are alternatives to each individual piece of Proton, but putting it all together and making it as seamless and easy as Proton does is nigh impossible.

(also if you self host email, that links your domain with your aliases which is still less anonymous than a 3rd party alias service)

I personally recommend kagi instead of Google search. I’ve tried most of the ones in this list and kagi gives the best results, and consistently too.

This is a coveted feature of the operating system. You get the premium feature set if you choose Arch.

No, it’s almost certainly not legal. However it’s plausible that he just registers it as one of the 2 destroyed cars. It’s still “a prius” and could probably slide under the radar.

There are companies that do this legally for limmos. I don’t know how easy it is for “some guy with some tools” to do it legally.

Oh one other thing - it would be cool if you could link to the lemmy post from the site somehow, as I will mostly be using my RSS reader to read the the articles, but if I want to join the comments I’d have to manually find the lemmy post.

I would love to see the articles on both, if it’s minimal effort for you. Having them in lemmy without navigating out is such a slick experience. But the site makes RSS super easy too, so I think you’d be giving something significant up if either one went away.

Ah yeah you’re right, I didn’t realize how baked in that stuff was.

Have you actually tried to install it on Linux? I’d bet it would work.

I’ve been gamin on Linux for over a year with 0 issues, the only games that should be keeping people back are a small handful of competitive games with certain types of anticheat. (Most anticheat does work on Linux)

It’s okay, it’s never too late to switch.

Woah, I use Kagi and I didn’t even know about this.

Great post, as always. We’re cheering you on with your health, take care of yourself and be comfy. That comes first.

I haven’t used that in years. Does it have collection support, and can you download mods from in the app? Those are the 2 most important features that nexus has in my opinion. It’s so seamless to verify compatibility and get it all up and running with no hassle.

Yeah I was just confused at why they didn’t want it, I was under the impression that it will serve a completely unserved purpose on Linux.

What’s the alternative to nexus mods?

I have some good news, you don’t have to take a hit to resolution. In fact, piracy probably provides better quality (blu ray rips)

Yeah I had the idea to buy a used one, but it’s such a risk especially since I know nothing about cars. It could develop issues days or weeks after purchase. It would be great if I already had one and it just kept chugging though. I wish your truck a long and healthy life

I actually have one! I was generously gifted a Ford E-Transit to transport my wheelchair-bound elderly mother. It’s all electric. It’s pretty heavy and unwieldy, but doesn’t have a massive horizontal profile like a lot of the common pickups these days. The van works great for this purpose, though it only has a 135 mile range. But that’s fine for going around the city. (I can’t park in parking garages though - it’s too tall.)

Before I got this, I was trying to find a small truck or SUV to transport the wheelchair in and it was very hard to find something that was small, not falling apart, cheap, etc. I had almost given up.
