I bought a domain that forwards *@example.com to my personal email address. Easy to set up on google domains.

This ensures everything before the @ is opaque, i.e. [email protected] is now [email protected]

Services that block my domain are usually the ones that also block [email protected]

Awesome, I'd love this for VHS covers too

Love rebasing, love merging, squash or no squash, it all depends on what I'm trying to communicate with my pushes.

Just discovered the --rebase-merges option, worth exploring if you want to edit a commit under a merge commit, but don't want to mess up the merge commits.

it's all about the flags, e.g. readlink -f

Google Meet was a big problem for me until I cleaned out the dust.

These things usually fix performance issues for me:

- Open your macbook and clean out the dust. I do it yearly. It always helps.

- Keep macOS and apps (e.g. browser) up-to-date. coreaudiod high cpu was fixed for me in 11.6.

- Review login items, delete what you don't need.

- Reboot, with the occasional nvram, pram reset

- Review activity monitor, find apps that have background processes and delete the ones you don't need.

- Review installed applications, especially ones w/ kernel extensions (e.g. hamachi, vbox). Delete if you don't need them. Easy to re-install.

- Kill docker desktop when not using docker.

- Fine tune spotlight settings.
