Plants; favored vegetable, or tree to grow. Something ALIVE to celebrate his life!

What if the friendship ends!!
preturbed··on How to protect email addresses after domain name expires?
Hm. This means that any domain name registered for a friend, client, project, etc. must be registered indefinitely IF a domain email address was used (and said email address is deemed to be "important").

Feels like there is a product offering here...

preturbed··on How to protect email addresses after domain name expires?
I'm thinking of creating a website for a friend. This includes registering a domain name and setting up a couple email addresses (myfriend@myfriend.com, etc.)

If the friend doesn't maintain the domain registration, and the domain falls into the hands of a nefarious actor, how can I protect my friends email addresses?

If I'm not mistaken, it is a common tactic to register a defunct domain name and impersonate the associated email addresses.

What can be done to avoid this?

preturbed··on Ask HN: How did you learn something in depth?
### How I learn something new, in-depth

I open...

    - ...a text editor (VS Code)
        
        - ...with Dendron (Outfitted with custom kb schemas and snippets, etc)

    - ...a browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.)

    - ...a new diagram (Drawio only)
Example: I want to learn about and become fluent in the topic of X.509 certificates.

1. Open VS Code (Dendron extension starts)

2. CTRL+l and type `crypto.x.509`. This creates a `.md` file in my knowledge base

    a. Because I have a "Crypto" schema setup in Dendron, upon creating the new document under `crypto.`, a markdown template is applied with the following headings:

        i.  ### Acronyms / Definitions

        ii. ### Questions

        iii.### Resources

        iv. ### Footnotes
3. Open Firefox and DuckDuckGo "X.509 standards"

    a. Points to the [ITU-T website](https://www.itu.int/t/aap/recdetails/8529)
4. Find the spec website and download the PDF, save to my `dendron\assets\pdf` directory

5. In a new `crypto.x.509.drawio` file, draw box "ITU-T" on the diagram

6. Copy the spec URL to my `crypto.x.509.md` file under the `### Resources` heading (add some alt text)

7. Read the PDF spec VERY CAREFULLY; creating a box on the diagram _for each noun_ I come across.

    a. Once boxes appear to either work together in a process or are part of the same concept, I contain them in a larger "parent" box

    b. This is good for determining hierarchy and peer relationships
Benefits:

- Its fairly quit to get "a sheet of music" in front of all concerned parties (if you're working on a team)

- I like seeing the diagram and *easily* manipulate thoughts (boxes) and move them into combinations

- Writing everything in Markdown basically creates a website of your notes

- Using Dendron centralizes your knowledge base
