Privacy@Lemmy.ml: Why use catch-all email domains over email aliases?

I’ve been looking at using email aliases services, and right now I’m thinking of using Simplelogin for all my online accounts and accounts where I can change my email easily, and getting my own domain to share with people and where I can’t easily update my email.

Are there any guides, tutorials or similar on how to use Steam more privately?

I’m at a point where I’d like to play certain games, but I dislike that they’re exclusively available on consoles and Steam for Desktop.

Looking for recommendations for homebrew security system cameras

A friend of mine is helping me with setting up a Linux-based homebrew security system set up.

Any recommendations or pointers in the right direction would be...

How much is privacy actually worth?

I can’t seem to find an actual currency estimate of how much privacy is actually worth. I see a ton of articles talking about why privacy should be worth more to people or what people would pay for privacy services or how much people would sell their privacy for, but I don’t see anything that gives a value for the privacy...

Is the Proton (Mail, VPN, Password Manager) ecosystem any good?

Due to the recent announcement of Proton moving to a non-profit structure (although not becoming fully non-profit) I’ve decided to take another look at them and really, Proton Unlimited is an enticing offer.
