I have a domain and it points to SimpleLogin. I then have 400 aliases that all point to a proton email address which I give out to no one. If I don’t like Proton or want to use Proton and Tuta, I can direct my mail to both at the same time. I can also respond as any of the aliases from either mailbox.

SimpleLogin gives me the ability to point all 400 aliases to a new mailbox in minutes. No more going around every website to use my new email address like I did in the past.

Yeah. I have a free account I used for testing. I need to give it another go really. I liked it but it is still not a patch on Google Photos in terms of usability for viewing or finding photos.

We have different colours to help differentiate. For example if I have a dentist appointment I know it’s mine as it’s in my colour.

In regards to modifying each other’s calendar. If she has a car service booked in but then needs me to move it, I have the ability to modify her calendar to move it to another date.

I’d like to retain the same ability.

I’ve looked at Immich a few times. I don’t really like self hosting important data as I don’t trust myself to not lose anything!

Thanks for the confirmation! I did a search after posting and found that article.

Do you have any downsides to Proton Calendar? So for your wife’s calendar have you added that into Proton and you can add/modify events?

I wanted to test sharing my calendar with my wife (we use Google which is currently how we share) but you have to have a paid account to share your proton calendar. I’m happy to pay but want to make sure it works before I do!

Just pay for SimpleLogin no? Proton owns SimpleLogin now.

I purchased SimpleLogin before Proton purchased them. I have my own domain configured with all my aliases which all point to a proton email address which I do not give to anyone.

I purposely created my own domain just so I could be flexible in the future and move to another provider if needed.

I looked to see if I could get by replacing Photos with Drive in Proton. Whilst I can upload stuff. Videos greater than 100mb need to be downloaded to be watched. I guess because Google process videos to allow them to be streamed. Sadly a deal breaker for me :(

Work fine for finding locally if in Bluetooth range. Not good for finding lost things outside of that. I lost some keys in July last year. Still not found since then.

Apples biggest benefit is the sheer number of phones that can help locate lost items. I was hoping Androids Find my Device network to be the same but currently it’s really lacking.

There’s cookie lists in uBlock Origin. Just enable them.

uBlock Origin has two cookie filters that are disabled by default. I enabled that and ditched the consent-o-matic extension

Just checked mine and it’s all disabled

PipePipe works with V3.5.0

What controller is that?

Did you just respond to your own comment?

I ran PiHole for years. It started as a way to block ads but then also a way to block games and YouTube for my kids so they get a break. I had to manually control this though. I switched to NextDNS last year because this can be done on a schedule and they can’t get around it such as swapping to mobile data on their phones.

In the house though I run AdGuard because there’s no way differentiate traffic for each of my kids NextDNS profiles. With AdGuard it can proxy DNS requests to take traffic from the TV in their bedroom and convert it to DNS over TLS so the traffic hits the correct profile. I don’t use AdGuard for anything else. It does not filter anything. It’s purely to make sure traffic hits the correct NextDNS profile.

KeepassXC looks better IMO. Also I like that hardware keys work without plugins. Personally I still use KeePass for one feature that XC doesn’t offer.

Mines ok. But then I use my own domain.

You can work around the need to go around updating all sites with your new email address… at least the next time you need to change your email address.

I use SimpleLogin to create a unique alias (on my own domain) for each website. When I finally migrated to Proton all I had to do was add the proton email address to SimpleLogin and delete my old GMail address to get it to point to Proton (I started migrating to aliases before moving away from GMail). Likewise if I ever move in the future I only need to update SimpleLogin. I was looking to move to Skiff when my Proton renewal was due!

To set this up I had to obviously update every single website which was very time consuming. However I have much better protection now as email addresses are disposable should a site start spamming me. The only site that actually knows my Proton email address is Bitwarden, Proton itself and SimpleLogin.

Looking in my account I have over 300 aliases. Crazy.

Their free tier storage offering was amazing. I honestly couldn’t see how they could offer so much for free. I was very tempted at the time but chose proton. Although I think I may move to Fastmail when my renewal is due.

Regardless of who you choose. Use an aliasing service. It makes moving to a new provider/email address a breeze on the future. It took me days to go around updating all my 200 sites online. If I ever move from proton it will take me 5 minutes to ensure all my sites now go to my new provider.

My only tip would be to create a new domain rather than using a shared one. This will prevent some sites from blocking you from using an alias.

No bloat? Stay away from Samsung then.

The greater good

Previously, I’d be forever using incognito to perform searches. Just to try and avoid seeing constant ads based on my searches. Since switching I no longer have to do this.

I’m far from being privacy conscious as some in this community but just switching to Firefox and Duckduckgo from Chrome and Google has yielded amazing results for me. I no longer feel like everything I do online is being tracked.

They’re all Safari Incognito

A DNS server can use root hints to resolve addresses rather than needing an upstream DNS server.

Just what you need. A popup on your phone reminding you you’re a scruffy git and not shaved in 7 days.

No but you can use API’s from various alias services so that Bitwarden can generate your aliases for you.

The biggest downside is there is a cost associated with doing all this. I’ve gone from free to paying for a domain (optional), SimpleLogin and protonmail.

If you’re going to use SimpleLogin and proton then look at their proton unlimited tier. I had SimpleLogin prior to proton so I only use the Mail Plus tier. SimpleLogin comes included in the unlimited tier.

I do the same. If I want to move mail provider in the future, it’s just a case of updating the aliases to point to that new mailbox.

This is what I’ve done. I’ve literally just moved to Proton from Gmail. I created aliases for all my sites. The only site that knows about my Proton email address is SimpleLogin.

The only emails in Gmail now are from Google services tied to that Gmail account.

I used Bitwarden to help generate the aliases.
