alt Hacker News> If you use iCloud+ and Hide My Email, there is still time to generate more aliases on @icloud.com as the change has not yet landed and the rate limit for creating aliases is at least 30 per hour.
Part of the reason to use Hide My Email was that it made keeping myself private hassle-free. Making a system to pre-generate values and then catalog them for later use is quite the hassle.

Yeah, I have several dozen already—I suppose I can reuse those forever… I guess it's kind of cool having one-per-site though so you can tell who the "rat" is when one of your hide-my's gets spammed.
Yep, but I still generated some for myself just in case and fellow hackers can do the same if they want to.
iCloud+ was the best $1 / month custom domain email and email alias service with 100GB of E2EE cloud drive.
Obviously it will be sad to see it enshittified for seemingly no reason.
we need s script to make date aliases for the next 10 years so one has a email for each day
If you don't mind trusting another company with forwarding your emails, it's definitely less hassle to set up an equivalent service for yourself.
