I own my own domain name, and 28 variations of my email address have appeared in various breaches. In order to search and receive alerts for my domain, i had to sign up for a 16$/mo service. It's not free unless you just have one

I have been using a catchall domain since 2004 and it has been a lifesaver. The sad part is when your email leaks from big companies, you definitely know. I started getting viagra spam delivered to equifax@mydomain.com back in 2007, long be

I feel like free software, and RMS's biggest blind spot is the network, between people, and between computers. Everything is framed and discussed in this old timey way of using computers, where you had a general purpose machine that wa

I used to ride my bike around every late summer gathering them from people's lawns. The trees have sexes, so one has to find the female trees. There are quite a few in Portland, and all relatively the same age because they were given a
