Having your own domain and giving a unique email address to everyone... Is it correct to call this canary trapping email addresses?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_trap


Sounds about right. Yes, I've been doing it for decades now and besides telling you who's selling email lists, it makes filtering much easier. Filtering by To: is pretty low effort compared to Bayesian spam filters etc. They get tossed in a Sieve filter as soon as they become a problem, and I'll send a bitch letter to the leaker with another random email address to see how dedicated they are to screwing me.

How is this possible for any normal person with a work provided 365 account?

You can use the +label method on M365 work accounts, like first.last+label@workdomain.com

Outlook rules match on them too, for rules.


I have an account just like that at Best Buy with my domain. The teenage cashier I gave it to thought it was cool.

Cheaper goods in exchange for losing your well-paying job is an awful deal for the one who lost the job.

Most Linux kernel development is done by people affiliated with US companies, often by employees on company time. Linus moved to the US a long time ago, and the Linux Foundation is based in the US.

> why not chinese or indian alternatives?

Because neither China nor India are European. Feel free to make your own vibe coded site with Chinese and Indian alternatives.

> Since the old version of the game is known on both sides, we compress the new version using the old version as its dictionary.

That's quite clever!

> Since we compress once and decompress many times on player machines, we can afford slow compression times. Zstd lets you tune the compression level, and we found that level 19 yielded about 13% better compression than zip.

Zstd is parallelizable across threads, which wasn't mentioned here. It helps speed it up at high compression levels, though not as much as I'd like.


We do use all available threads for it, did just not call it out in the article

I guess I'm so paranoid that not only do I run GrapheneOS, I've never had nor wanted banking nor payment apps on my phone. Having ALL my money be accessible from something so easily lost, stolen, or seized would be a constant source of stress for me. There's (hopefully) a lot of security around accessing it, but sometimes the only winning move is not to play.
