joeldebruijn , 4 days ago to Privacy in Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Why use catch-all email domains over email aliases?

Same experience

Oh , that's cute this spammer thinks there must be an admin@mydomain.com etc

Only other downside I could think if is when my catch all cant be used to send a mail or reply.

So I do use them a lot for suppliers en services, but for registering initially and password reset. But I can't use it to contact support by mail.

Mostly I rely on forms or self service portals when I need it as a customer.

Ouch ... I hope I smell them from a mile away ... and change course.

As a #2 person, when my level-of-current-knowledge hits a ceiling and I ask for technical advice in forums or lemmy or even social media, it often comes from a #1 person.

Assuming its specialized knowledge few other #2 have.

Half the time I get an answer (about what and how) AND background explanation (giving context and WHY).

But half the other time a #1 doesnt realize easy things for them are hard for me. When they are miles ahead their answer assumes I have a host of other skills already in place. But I dont know what I don't know so I dont ask for them.

But ... every answer from a helpfull stranger is appreciated. Just bridging knowledge is hard.

For example, because its autocorrect in a multi-language setting is pretty bad (autocorrecting wrong language even if its manually switched).

4. It's not gdpr compliant in the way shown here or IAB TCF uses it.

Legitimate interest is a sort failsafe which can be used to cover certain exceptions.

• the datacontrollor must have an exceptional situation, so not on a regular basis.
• the balance between personal and business interest must be considered carefully under case by case basis.
• the dataprocessor isn't the one doing the consideration

Automating all this is kind off against all the above.

To illustrate even more: I follow a Lemmy privacy "group" with an Akkoma account.

Fair point, done!

joeldebruijn OP , 3 months ago to Privacy in Firefox DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials Extension NOT injecting CSS for Google Ads

No I did try and since you're interested in my learning curve versus my personal effort:
Since two weeks I learned css for the first time, hobby related and just about to start knowing about flexbox css grid float div and styling them.

Oh thnx, I should search more around. 😁👍

Solid answers there.

joeldebruijn , 3 months ago to Privacy in Looking for a privacy focused travel assistant on mobile

Totally going to use flop-my-mop elsewhere, but urban dictionary doesnt have an entry about it I think? 🫢😁👍

Curious about suggestions but for itinerary I just use "event folders" like "20240801 France" and I put every pdf, jpg, gpx, mail I have in it.

And during planning sometimes export website pages, wiki entries to pdf etc. Routes in gpx, POI in KML etc.

joeldebruijn , 3 months ago to Privacy in How many queries per device on NextDNS?

I hope to get there one day (being able to DIY) but so much to learn (in the middle of getting away from MS, Google and migrating to NextCloud, Linux, Yunohost etc.)

Also the reason I pay the €3 monthly fee covering 2 laptops, 3 tablets and 2 phones.
Worth it imho.

It consistently drops 20 - 25% of DNS requests.
