RCR Episode #279: A spree de Calc. In 1979, VisiCalc’s rampage began, and models 400, 800 (Atari), II (TRS-80), and 4 (TI 99) arrived. Also, Unicode news, more found lost Warhol art, Model 100 games, and the loneliness of Intellivision. rcrpodcast.com/2024/12/27/r...
They can change the forwarding address at Gmail/Outlook fast enough that for every e-mail that comes in, they just forward the last hop to a new victim.
Seems easy to stop, just rate-limit forwarding address changes at Gmail/Outlook. Or require validation from the address being forwarded to?
Apparently they are going to a random address at a domain hosted by Gmail and there is a forward setup at Gmail to redirect it to an Outlook\.com address, which then forwards to my actual address. This way DKIM/SPF validate and they can probably bypass rate limits on PayPal->Gmail->Outlook. \
I keep getting these "You've got a money request" e-mails from PayPal and I just assumed they were fake since my address is never in the 'To' field, but after looking at the headers they are actually from PayPal and are validating DKIM/SPF checks. \
I wouldn't mind paying for Kagi but I don't want to have to log into an account every time I want to search. All of my iPhone browsing is in Private Mode because I can't have a default-deny cookie policy with a whitelist.
Maybe I need to resurrect Endless and convert it to WKWebView.
I used DuckDuckGo most of this year and I had to "!g" on almost half of all queries. The more specific the query, the worse and more generic the results got.
But I can barely use Google search on my iPhone now because they send me into CAPTCHA hell on every request due to iCloud Private Relay.
