This was on a custom domain, and I started off with [email protected], and when it became saturated I moved to -2, -3, etc. But then got lazy and used my current ‘version’ to sign up for things I’d want to keep, not just any old random stuff. So now it’s a mix, and much better ways of doing that exist, like +tagging and hide-my-email services.

I even wondered about setting up a catch-all account on the domain so I can just invent them on the fly, and then when one becomes spammy, create an ‘actual’ account as a spamhole.

I have a question—I suspect the answer is yes even if indirectly, but thought I’d ask in case you already thought of this. I have many email addresses, and one in particular is the source of lots of spam. Unfortunately it’s also one I’ve used to login to many services I actually use so I can’t easily delete it. Can I use Paperweight to make a list of services I need to go change my email on before consigning my 20+ year old address to the bin?

And didn’t mean to be snarky—but it’s probably a good thing they didn’t just name the plugins in the headline as avoiding them by name isn’t the solution here…

Did you try reading it?

It enables malicious versions of legitimate Obsidian plugins (‘Shell Commands’ and ‘Hider’) that are present in the shared vault.

Note these are deliberately altered versions, not the originals.

Pretty sure this is kind of how lots of memory works in general—very spatially oriented and you can use that to your advantage. Look up ‘memory palace’ for example.
