Only other downside I could think if is when my catch all cant be used to send a mail or reply.

On Protonmail, I just create a new address if I need to send email from that address. Afterwards I just delete it, freeing up the address slot.

Both are fine choices depending on your requirements. The thing with external alias services, you are not in control of the addresses/domain. Catch-all addresses are essentially aliases you manage, but something like Simplelogin does have the benefit of hiding your domain name.

Spam is not a big deal on catch-all. A couple of times a year I do get a spam mail to some arbirtary address, but that's more or less it.

They found the way you wrote "Yt-dlp and a cron job" sexually appealing, and went to havd some fun rub... uh, installing.

For trash sites (random forums, free software downloads, porn etc.) that do not get my real information, and it doesn't matter if I lose the account, I just use a random 10 minute email site.

For anything where I input my personal information, or deem slightly more important, I use a catch-all address in Protonmail with my own domain.

It protects your data from snooping or man-in-the-middle attacks on untrusted networks. Or your internet service provider.

If both people have Syncthing installed, you can do that by sharing a folder between you.

But it is not like cloud services where you can generate a shareable link - Syncthing is mostly designed for syncing files between your own devices real-time.

Also Telegram's E2EE chats don't work on desktop apparently, and you are not able to see message contents in the notification (which is a plus or minus depending on you)

Asked a friend earlier today if we could use secret chat. He declined because he mostly chats on desktop, and apparently wants to see messages from notifications while driving.

Legally speaking that may be be correct, since Meta has their own advertising platform. They do not "sell your data", but what they do sell is indirect access to your data, via targeted advertising.

Just downloaded Eternity after using Jerboa for a while. This is so much better, even more so since I used Infinity for reddit.
