  • When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself “what’s cool, that I can base my name on?” “Gansters are cool!” “How about Al Capone? He’s cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that.” “But I can’t just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I’ll write it using l337 speak.”

    Thus, my username “alkpwn” (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.

    Quickly, I realized people didn’t always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From “Al capn” to “Alk pawn”, I got all sorts of pronunciations.

    My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.
















  • Yeah that’s also true. But I switched to proton specifically to have LESS work managing automatic email aliases that are tied to instantly creatable passwords/accounts. I might look into bitwarden with their alias service integration. But I’m not looking forward to another transfer of all of my stuff. For this very specific set of features, really all I can see is bitwarden or proton, and I really hope bitwarden is as seamless and easy as proton because I do not have the mental energy to fiddle with it all the time.
