Remember everyone, we all share the same birthday;

Jan 1st 1900

If any computer ever asks you what your birthday is, this is your birthday.

Sometimes the computer will send you presents. A free ice cream, a discount, a funny email wishing you a happy birthday. These are tricks to get you to put in your human birthday. But you must never enter your human birthday into a computer, only your computer birthday.

@doctormo Totally agree 👍

I always use Jan 1st 1950, but it's the same idea 😉

@OpenSoul @doctormo Because of Unix time it‘s Jan 1st 1970 of course.

@lazarus @OpenSoul @doctormo And also 1970 won't get flagged for being too old. Sites already filter out "+" in email forms...

They do? Finally my strategy of "Configure one alias email address per account"-strategy finally pays off (looks at like 300 aliases in my postfix configuration).

And I thought I'm just weird with it during the last 10 years... 😅

@momo @lazarus @OpenSoul @doctormo The last one I found doing that was for a wifi login portal, so it wasn't getting my real email or phone number anyhow :)

Oh, I keep using [email protected] for that. Only if they validate the mail I fire up ssh and add yet another alias...
