Yeah, it's only worth it if you want to buy their other services, like email masks, etc. (which you can also get for free with a service like addy.io).

addy.io has many paid-only features I recommend unbox.at it has unlimited free aliases and the owner is very kind and hosts over 70 other services and all at free, so I donate $10 a month to him

Addy has way more than 10 free ones. I currently have 43 active aliases, and I'm on the free tier. You may be getting confused in that you can only forward 10MB of emails a month for free, and only to a single address. I've never run up against that cap in the six months I've been using it, but everybody's situation is different. Obviously, it wouldn't work if you need to forward big attachments or something.

Good to know there's alternatives, though!

Edited to change it to many paid features

So I would assume you're up on what's what with unbox. I noticed on the homepage that there's a link to addy.io at the bottom. Is there some kind of affiliation?

[-] artiman@piefed.social 4 points 1 week ago

No it means they are using addy.io's software since it's open source

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 1 week ago

Ah, okay. That's why it feels familiar. Thanks!

Just use duckduckgos alias it's unlimited

[-] artiman@piefed.social 3 points 1 week ago

I don't like them for the 2022 Microsoft deal and the fact that they are American but for people that aren't nearly as picky it's a good option

[-] marcie@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah that's fair

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
