They wanted a photo so I chose the first one in my photo library.

I have a blog, it is mostly for me to scream into the void, I would like to believe people read it I am however fine if they do not. Since the buy Canadian stuff started happening I moved where my hosting service was, away from Wordpress.com and to hosthero.com then I moved reannlegge.com to reannlegge.ca.

The actual blog has not yet been transferred yet but I now own reannlegge.ca!

I am moving away from my apple services and to another service, unfortunately no Canadian one offered the features I wanted, or at least none that I could find so that has been moved to a service outside of the US.

Keep your com and forward it to your ca.

What features are you missing from Apple?

[–] Reannlegge 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My .com is coming up for renewal in the next couple weeks, rather than continuing to pay for it, I am just going to let it expire. No need to keep it!

iCloud offers hide my email, I have not been able to find another service similar to that besides for proton pass.

If you’re doing email, domain reputation is useful.

Also, does your registrar allow you to forward all your mail to one address?

[–] Reannlegge 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am using proton pass, it creates random email address and, it will forward all my emails to my email account.

My domain has not yet been switched over so I am waiting on going into proton pass to change the email it is redirecting to.

If you know a Canadian alternative to Proton Pass, I will cancel that and switch to the Canadian one.

Oh, some registrars will allow you to forward all your email to your email for free. Could be an option depending on your registrar

[–] Reannlegge 1 points 2 days ago

Yes they have that option however it is not easy to create new random email addresses. I have different email addresses for most of the services I use. If a service or page starts spamming me I just close that account and avoid that service or page, because I know they are making money off of selling my data.

Do not ask me who it was but I have turned off several different email addresses, the one that sticks out in my head is borrowwell.com.
