Reminder: Every "free" web account that you create is an attack vector, an addition to your attack surface. Every additional set of login credentials that has anything to do with "you", every working email address you provide: each one of these is a digital point of weakness that you have voluntarily provided to your enemies and predators. Make sure each new one is worth it.

@ErosBlog okay but how do I protect besides using a vpn? I live online.

@westrose How you protect yourself from the attack vectors you choose to live with is a very complex question, but the point I'm making has more to do with thinking very hard about how many such vectors we want to create. When I click the link and the article fades off after a paragraph and a box says "get your free log-in now to finish reading" is it really worth it? The rent-seeking trend is to enclose everything in logins, and I'm for *not* cooperating with these predatory business models.
