what i noticed from you and a couple other similar stories in this thread is that a same email is used at multiple places. Have you looked into email aliases like simplelogin, anonaddy, or anything of that sort?
or at the very least, the basic username+alias@domain.tld? this let's you know at least which thing was compromised.
of course, I don't recommend doing the same for important services like you banking accounts, but for the vast majority, having an alias would be enough.
and compartmentalisation always helps (different emails/accounts for personal, govt, and work domains).
Honestly, I created the two-email setup at a different time in my life. After the hack, I decided it was easier and more desirable to just use one address. My works speak more for me than a firstname.lastname email now that I've gained some life experience.
I haven't considered looking into other email alias tools. The whole area wasn't something I had put much thought into after getting things the way I wanted a decade prior.
In email, I have used the "+" format in some situations where I'm curious if a third-party is going to leak my contact details. It's not something I use every day, but it is a useful tool, I agree.
The problem with getting a Google account hacked is that Google, by default, really wants to save your passwords for you. So, even though I keep passwords in KeePass, plenty of them ended up remembered inside Chrome, too. Once the hacker compromised the Google account I had to assume every website listed in my password manager needed to be rotated. Plus, I had to change every account that I registered using my "firstname.lastname" email - so I was basically already sold on needing to have to revisit every website I'd ever used.
How do you that with Apple hardware that requires an AppleID to operate?
Is your advise to avoid all Apple hardware?
Or buy backup hardware none of which will run MacOS / iOS, so you still couldn't access things like your Apple Developer account, or any shared documents?
Have no apple hardware. If you need apple hardware for work use a work email and account and never use it for anything else other than work. Always pay apple with a work credit card.
i don't see any change other than display colours and font looking more crispy. i use computer mostly for watching and programming. some very light FOSS gaming(Luanti, STK).
it does exist in `about:config`, which could be made as a UI setting instead:
`media.peerconnectin.enabled`.
on cromite[1], a hardened chromium fork, there is such a setting, both in the settings page, as well as when you click on the lock icon in the address bar.
