The EU needs to give him the China treatment. Calm, sovereign, and let him rage in hus bubble. The EU is way too emotional and decomposed. Then again, the EU is fully dependent on US technology. Should be fun.

Hi,

Thank you for your reply.

I used to use addy.io and moved to Apple’s Hide my. Long story short: although I get the advantages, it becomes difficult over time when you have many accounts and decide for the sake of privacy to move everything again; as could be seen by proposed backdoor legislation in the UK recently.

I get that it’s a lersonal choice in the end in terms of balance versus agony/convenience in terms of updating all the accounts.

I guess I’ll continue my journey along the evolution of technology. 😉

Hey,

Thank you for sharing this in so much detail. I was wondering where you stand on the following topic: email obfuscation by using different aliases or throwaway email addresses for web accounts.

While I thought that it was cool in the beginning, I found that even with a PW manager, things can become messy very quickly, and at a later stage, moving away entirely from iCloud’s “Hide my email” for example could turn out to be a nightmare and make things even more complicated.

So to cut to the chase: use your own email addresses every time or use a, preferably, self-hosted service for that specific use case of generating more or less random email addresses?
