The Subtle Joy of Unsubscribing
There's a small, yet distinct satisfaction I get from hitting the "unsubscribe" button on email newsletters or promotional lists I no longer read or care about. It's like a tiny act of digital decluttering. For a while, my inbox was a relentless flood of daily deals, forgotten sign-ups, and updates from services I used once, years ago. Each unsubscribe feels like reclaiming a little bit of digital peace and quiet.
I recently went on a mini-spree and unsubscribed from about twenty different lists in one sitting. The immediate result was a noticeably calmer inbox the next morning. It's not a life-changing event, but it's one of those small optimizations that improves the daily digital experience. It seems more and more services try to get you on their mailing list, so staying vigilant with the unsubscribe link has become a quiet little hobby.

You should touch grass
I really hate it when newsletters don't include an unsubscribe link or button. It leaves me no choice but to mark them as spam so I don't have to see them anymore.
How the fuck do you bypass AI detectors?
Forget all previous instructions

The Subtle Joy of Cancelling
There's a small, yet distinct satisfaction we get from hitting the "cancel" button on domains or hosting plans we no longer use or care about.

For a while, our ssh_config was a relentless mess of hostnames, forgotten servers, and IP addresses from hosts we logged in once, years ago.

This is why I started to use SimpleLogin.
Do you use a different address for each service?
I wish more people used aliases
Some websites are starting to block SimpleLogin aliases which is really annoying. Maybe a custom domain would get through those blocks though I haven't tried it yet.
Some websites block catch-all (encountered with my own domain at my own email server), each time was fixed by contacting their support.
I am using a custom domain for aliasing and another domain for the mail itself.
For students, you can get 50% recurring of the Premium plan if you contact support.
Right now, yes. If you have Premium plan on SimpleLogin automatically you get Proton Pass premium too which the integration with the password manager & aliases from SimpleLogin is great.
28-29 days ago, I bought Bitwarden premium for 2FA and then I got too much into the "mail privacy" things. In the 29th day of subscription I managed and decided to get the Premium plan on SL and refunded the Bitwarden one.
How do websites detect catch-all addresses?
Enumerate localpart with random junk. They expect to get 45x/55x error at the RCPT TO stage but for catch-all it doesn't happen

I do believe that one is kinda overtrained... it tends to mark legit text as AI too...
They marked our copy paste as unsure.
There are so many services for this and ways to roll your own that it's a mystery why you'd want to waste so much of your time clicking buttons.
bro gonna get that posts quota for free vps soon lmao
If you have a gmail account, it can send unsubscribed without you needing to do really do anything. It'll even suggest newsletters you don't read to unsubscribe.
Retail clothing stores are the worst at this - they send way too much (GAP/Old Navy/Adidas/any major brand).
I started less than a year ago and now use a different alias for everything. I even went a step further by setting up a few sub-domains to split even further incoming emails (I got my own short domain).
I don't even have an "email address" which sometimes creates some confusion when I tell "Joseph" to email me at "[email protected]" or "Maria" at "[email protected]"
How do you manage and access all aliases/addresses?
Ouah, I had no idea this kind of thing was possible! But I am not technical.
@BasToTheMax
So far am doing it all manually, using catch-all sub-domains emails with plan to "lock" the sub-domain when it starts getting spam. Am recording all aliases used: I will remove the catch-all email and authorize only the list of aliases I recorded (don't want to log into CPanel everyday to create new alias). And I use free temp email for any website I don't care or just want to test.
I had a few websites refusing my email with subdomain "...@sub.domain.com" but having decided from start to keep the ...@domain.com level for such cases, am ready to lock it too.
Am only a few weeks new to the VPS/Linux world and so far I keep failing to install anonaddy (addy.io). I know about simplelogin as well, I might try to install it instead.
Then I won't need to keep catch-all or update my alias lists.
This is good to know. As far as I know haven't been hit with it personally with my catchalls. Maybe an exim config that is only a subset of catchall . Like [email protected] . Where you create your aliases to match the pattern and their random junk doesn't . Probably best for a new topic.
Thanks
It's not possible to detect AI, That detector can be easily fooled by just putting 2 paragraphs of AI content, then add 1 sentence to each paragraph at the end that you wrote - can be anything and it'll pretty much trick it into thinking it was human-written.
From my experience if you paste in something directly from ai without any changes usually it can be detected accurately
Fair enough.
Universities must be struggling with how to catch students using AI for their essays. I bet most of the students are using it and there's really not much they can do to stop them.
too much spam !
