Since 2016 I’ve given out 422 unique addresses in the form <hash of recipient name>@example.com, and so far zero messages have come in from an unexpected sender. I don’t know whether to feel reassured, or just lucky.

The thing I keep getting suspicious about is occasionally network traffic will stop, I begin troubleshooting with a traceroute, and then coincidentally traffic will resume. It feels like the traceroute fixed the problem but it must just be

I’m curious to learn how you ran across this. A browser extension that surfaces the data? Or do you regularly go around downloading and inspecting images as you read?

You misunderstand. :) The phrase is a play on words that literally means if “no one” is there you don’t have to stop for them. It’s a contrapositive description of yielding—the point being precisely to counter the common misconception (and

I like explaining this as “bikes don’t have to stop for no one”. Upon hearing that people are usually momentarily affronted by the apparent insolence, then realize I mean it literally and laugh.

I can relate to the desire to self-police among cyclists, though it sounds like this person was road raging as well. I often hear complaints from people who only drive cars that cyclists (as if they’re a monolith) are recklessly inconsidera

The sources of this database are largely outlets of self-promotion. I’d consider my own site part of the IndieWeb—I literally developed it at an IndieWebCamp—but you won’t find it listed here due to that sampling bias.
