Thanks again for all the help I've had here, I think I'm nearly there! I have a few questions about aliases with Simple Login and Bitwarden.

- I have a custom domain setup in Simple Login, I'd like to create Aliases in that for random websites. I can do this in Simple login no issue. But when I go to Username generator in Bitwarden, put in the API Key, put my custom email domain, then when I generate a username, its some random words and then @simplelogin.com and what I want is amazon@mycustomdomain.com for example. Is this possible?

- Maybe this is a limitation and I just have to create aliases in Simplelogin and copy and paste them into Bitwarden every time?

- Secondly, I can use my Proton login to log in to Simple Login, but it also offers me the option for 2fa. Do I need to add 2fa to Simplelogin if I have it enabled for proton?

Thanks

I've always spent a lot of time in the water, mostly swimming. I took up surfing last year and realised that for some reason as soon as I go underwater I breathe out a steady stream of air.

I know I do this when swimming, and I think often to stop water coming into my nose

But it got me in a couple of scary situations with surfing where I was out of breath and held under.

The issue is, I can't seem to change it! I'm conscious of it and think of it every time and yet I keep doing it!

Any tips for retaining this weird habit?

Thanks

After some useful advice here, I have paid for Proton Unlimited. I am still trying to get my head around custom domains and aliases/hide my emails etc! After reading endless threads, this is my plan, and just a wanted to check its ok. I'm trying to get a balance of security,anonymity and convenience.

- I use my custom domain with my full name in (for my website), to create a few email addresses for personal, work/professional and possibly banks and government etc.

- Then I either use aliases/hide my email with my Proton address (random name), or I buy another custom domain which is random words, and use this instead for alias/hide my emails, making moving away from Proton in the future easier, but costing a bit more. I can't decide!

- I'd use Alias/hide my email for all unimportant sign ups. But what about things like Amazon, or places where I regularly buy things like music software sites. Should I use aliases/hide my email for this, or should I use one of my proper emails with my name in?

- I will continue to use Ente Auth for 2fa as I want my 2fa seperate

- I currently use Bitwarden as my password manager. I would move to Proton pass, as it seems it makes it much easier to create email aliases on the fly. But...the main issue I have is the password being the same as my Proton password. Currently I remember two very long passwords, one for Bitwarden and one for Ente Auth. But I don't want to have my email be the same password as my password manager. Not only that, but I have Bitwarden setup so it locks me out after a few minutes, and I must enter my password every time I want to use it - this keeps it fresh and means I enter the password many times a day. From what I've read I can't do this in Proton Pass, I can only enable a second password. So unless anyone knows a solution to my concerns here, I guess I'll stick with Bitwarden and somehow deal with the aliases

Any other advice welcome, I've spent so long reading about this stuff, its time to just get on with it!

Hi, I've tried surfskating once or twice but very much a beginner.

I'm in the UK and would like to get a board. I'd like to use it for two things...

Getting from the carpark to the Wave in Bristol, with a 7'6 board in a bag on my shoulder. The road is flat and straight and maybe 700m long. Will a surfskate be suitable for this, or just too hard while carrying a board?

I was hoping for something I could push like a normal board without being too wobbly, but also do some big deep carves to keep moving ...Will this work? I was thinking of something with firmer trucks, so it can be used kind of like a normal skateboard, but also for carving just not super sharp maybe

Secondly, I'd like to practise on flat ground and maybe small skate parks just moving around, carving and getting my surf skills better

I don't have aspirations to do any tricks or anything, I just want to cruise and be able to generate speed and turn

Any advice for a noob would be great! Thanks

Hi

I shoot primes, and shoot 90% video 10% photos on my A7V and A7IV. I prefer primes for the wider aperture and just the general look. I do also have the Sony 70-200mm f4 for when I need a bit of reach

But I've had a couple of situations recently on jobs where I could really have benefitted from a zoom that covers a lot of range - enough to get in wide enough shots or rooms/cities etc. while also pleasing shoots of people with enough shallow DOF to not just look like a phone!

I am now considering the Tamron 25-200 f3.5-f5.6.

I am wondering if I could replace my 70-200 f4 with this Tamron, and what I'd be losing out on? I see it reaches f4.5 at 53mm, so beyond that, I'd be getting less light and shallow DOF than the sony, but I imagine it wouldn't be a huge difference.

The Tamron would give me much more versatility.

I should say I'm not obsessed with sharpness, I actually find most modern lenses too sharp for video. I also only use my 70-200 occasionally, much less than the rest of my lenses

This lens would just be for run and gun situations where I need to be ready for anything

Any advice? have I missed any other lenses worth considering, that are as fast and versatile

Thanks
