Important reminder, if you own a domain name and don't use it for sending email.
There is nothing to stop scammers from sending email claiming to be coming from your domain. And the older it gets, the more valuable it is for spoofing. It could eventually damage your domain's reputation and maybe get it blacklisted, unless you take the steps to notify email servers that any email received claiming to come from your domain should be trashed.
Just add these two TXT records to the DNS for your domain:
TXT v=spf1 -all
TXT v=DMARC1; p=reject;
The first says there is not a single SMTP server on earth authorized to send email on behalf of your domain. The second says that any email that says otherwise should be trashed.
If you do use your domain for sending email, be sure to add 3 records:
SPF record to indicate which SMTP server(s) are allowed to send your email.
DKIM records to add a digital signature to emails, allowing the receiving server to verify the sender and ensure message integrity.
DMARC record that tells the receiving email server how to handle email that fails either check.
You cannot stop scammers from sending email claiming to be from your domain, any more than you can prevent people from using your home address as a return address on a mailed letter. But, you can protect both your domain and intended scam victims by adding appropriate DNS records.
UPDATE: The spf and the dmarc records need to be appropriately named. The spf record should be named "@", and the dmarc record name should be "_dmarc".
Here's what I have for one domain.
One difference that I have is that I'm requesting that email providers email me a weekly aggregated report when they encounter a spoof. gmail and Microsoft send them, but most providers won't, but since most email goes to Gmail, it's enlightening when they come.

@wowaname That's bad news. Broadway people are the worst.
@wowaname That too.
I've been playing this game for the #GameBoy called Solomon's Club and it is actually a pretty fun puzzle platformer! Solid gameplay and simplicity

>I really think the average person associates crypto more with speculation, ponzi schemes, and illegal activity than with right wingers
During the height of the culture war (2017-2019), it was strongly associated with the dissident right because it was the only thing that was financially supporting them.
One of the worst things to come out of the political and social polarization over the past decade is that virtually everything you do or use is a political statement. Sure, it was probably always the case, but it's more apparent now.
Like if you use an (allegedly) privacy-focused email provider instead of Gmail, it gives off the idea that you subscribe to a niche or radical political ideology that justifies hiding yourself from the feds. Maybe you just simply want a private email provider, but given that those providers are often used by political dissidents and the MSM will write hit-pieces on them it does give off that vibe. It wouldn't surprise me if people had their job applications rejected because they used a Proton email address or something like that.
This is probably why many white market businesses and services like Steam stopped accepting crypto, besides the government regulations. All of the sudden, cryptocurrency became associated with ancaps and the alt-right and by using it, even for legitimate purposes, you are pandering to them.
Of course, this is probably all by design, but it gets really frustrating that living a slightly different lifestyle means that you are some political extremist that should be put on a government red-flag list.

The levels are now bigger the deeper you go. It was something that I realized that I haven't implemented yet. This is the second to last level and the video demonstrates how it's bigger than usual.

@PurpCat @beardalaxy The fact that even 8chan users didn't put up with it meant that you will be purging more than just normies.
@beardalaxy I'm reminded of the FOSS mascot threads on 8chan's /tech/ board and how they were mostly furbait, but a lot of people hated those threads for that.
