Similarly to OP and many other like-minded commenters, I've also built an interface for rabbit-holing [0]. This is a 10 year old, purely JS+CSS solution you can open in your browser. It's limited to Wikipedia and its UI seems broken after Wikipedia's style updates, but nevertheless wanted to share the source code [1] for anyone who's interested

The advantage of Masked Emails is that third parties won't even know about mydomain.com. The disadvantage is that you need 1Password to recall which email address you used with a particular website.
This works well in OpenSCAD and I just saw that Slic3r displays a handy arrow in the 3D preview when you focus the text box that controls the rotation
I received a phone call from CenturyLink saying that I'm eligible for free upgrade from 100Mbps to 1Gbps. Surprised with their benevolence, I double checked the agent to verify that this is not a scam. They ran some checks and determined that I will need to replace the router with a newer model to handle faster speeds. I said that I purchased the router from CenturyLink, and I'm ok swapping it for a newer model, as long as there are no extra fees, and that I will own (and not rent) the new model. They agreed to this. I got the new modem in mail, swapped it, got the gigabit speed and sent the original one back. Next month I saw a $10 modem rental charge. I called them, they argued, I argued back, they said that they'll need my permission to transcribe the earlier conversation (that's strange, because they always play the message that a conversation will be recorded). A few days later they called back saying that they transcribed the call, found out that they agreed to not renting the modem, apologized and gave me a refund.
I still don't fully understand why they offered me higher speed without paying more. I had no recording of the phone call and they had the upper hand, but they were fair in resolution. Overall, I had a very good run with Centurylink despite hearing only horror stories about American ISPs.
TLDR: Be very explicit on the call when someone offers to upgrade the modem that you own.

If all you have is a cell phone with no battery or no reception, you can't get help, you can't hail rides etc.
I look forward to day when corporations support universal health care from purely selfish grounds: if government takes care of employee's health, companies won't have to deal with it, or worry whether driver crosses the threshold of working over 30 hours a week.
