@prologic@twtxt.net @movq@www.uninformativ.de Same here, I give each service a dedicated e-mail address. It’s very interesting to see how e-mail addresses are transferred to other actors. Luckily, this only happens rarely. But it does happen. In surprising ways.
Aliases not only help to fight spam, but are also a great way to specify filter rules to sort e-mails.

Looks like twtxt.net is back now!
My biggest (and oddest) complaint about Windows 11 so far: If its connection to the Internet is poor, the entire OS is very slow. Even opening a local offline program like Handbrake takes over a minute. Task Manager does not show any extra load on CPU or RAM in the meantime. I’ve seen it on 3 different installs with various hardware components. I can’t explain why it happens.
