I managed to buy firstname.dev a while ago and this was one of my fears of using it as my email address. I ended up switching to a .com one just to avoid any issues. I certainly don't want government services emails not to work just because maybe they didn't account for .dev TLD

Out of curiosity, are those popular services? I'm in process of setting up email on my own domain and it would suck having to fallback to Gmail if some service uses an accepted list of domains.

After entering the email address, do you need to do the Github login to complete registration? I didn't get any confirmation email so I don't know if I'm actually registered for anything

From my experience Microsoft is the worst one about disappearing messages. You send a message to an Outlook user, they say it's delivered, but then the recipient just never gets it. At least putting it in spam means they can eventually find it if they check there.

Is this secret question like "whats your favourite movie" etc or a question they generate that they expect you to know about your account?

I checked my account and I don't see any secret questions options.

I had an account with AWS about 6 years for a small prototype and I closed it after using it for 1 month. However for some reason I got an email last November about a change to some certificates for either S3 or Cloudfront because my account used one of those services in the last 6 months.

I don't know if this is a mistake on their part, but I haven't been charged in the last 6 years or gotten any emails before that. But it's still worrying because the account is closed and I have no way through standard support to know why they think my account was using their services

Reading the Twitter thread, what's the current best security practices for email addresses? Because I thought getting your own domain was the better thing to do but it seemed in this case using a Gmail address would have been better?

I'm very far away from that bubble and I have yet to meet anyone who uses Bing either. And I know several people who still use Hotmail/Yahoo.

Can you expand on the 4kb part of row sizes? I have been experimenting with storing json in MySQL tables and I'm curious about this limit
