Very similar to if you were to send a traditional paper letter in an envelope with a stamp, and put an incorrect return address on it. You could even make it look exactly like something the real company would have sent. There is no validation of the return address. If the recipient were to respond to the return address, it would expose the ruse. The scam is that the contents of the letter have further instructions that lead to the scam.

Another complication is that the From address in internet email contains an address part and a description part. The address part is what is actually used to route the email, and the description part can be anything, including something that looks like an email address that doesn’t match the one in the address part. Most email clients only show the description part and hide the address part.

For example:

From: “Bob Smith” <bob@example.com>

From: “robert@somewhere.com” <bob@example.com>

From: “Do not reply” <noreply@example.com>

From: “quickbooks@notification.intuit.com” <scam@attacker.com>

https://simplelogin.io/ (owned by Proton) is great for this. They have a feature to generate an email address by random word or even by uuid.

The pieces of refrigerators that have failed me in the last 15 years have been the plastic parts. A small improvement in plastic quality or engineering seems like it could double the life of the refrigerator. And of course a small plastic replacement part costs $50 or more.

iOS has Lockdown Mode which it sounds like you could benefit from.

Do you find a beer gut sexy? How about Dad Bod?

Edit - they have a few other countries also.

I succeeded in doing this once long ago. Then while in the Linux vm I wiped the VM’s partition table, which wiped the physical disk partition table, including windows. Do not recommend.

I like Grey Skies. It’s nice at 75% speed, too.

Professional CMake: A Practical Guide by Craig Scott is an excellent guide to modern cmake usage. Well worth the $30 if you need to build, maintain, or modify a CMake project.

All dogs are different (even allegedly hypo ones) and all people’s allergies trigger on different things. Make sure all housemates spend a few hours with a dog or cat you are thinking of adopting before you commit. Contact your local animal rescue and they will be happy to help you meet a few animals. You may even be able to foster-to-adopt to make sure it’s a good fit. I would recommend against spending a lot of money on an allegedly allergy-free designer dog. And of course, please spay or neuter your pet.

I think you should reconsider Proton. It seems to tick all of your boxes except US-based. However, I know they have US-based VPN servers, so I expect they have US-based email servers as well. It’s worth asking their support team about.

I really enjoyed Scavengers Reign. I hope they make another season.

Is it pronounced “jif” or “jif”?

Looks like you’re paying $138/yr for Proton, SL, and vpn. Consider getting Proton Unlimited for $120/yr which includes all of the above, and use Proton vpn.

Redneck Rampage. Hot damn!

How is actual with direct bank imports? Are you in the US or EU?

Are all of those drives powered up constantly? What’s your power bill like?
