Thanks for the suggestion, I’m trying protonmail now and the aliases are really nice, too bad you have to set them up in Proton pass though, that app is not as good as bitwarden. Only downside so far is that all emails end up in the same inbox, so I have to do some extra sorting and labelling to get things organised.

The discussion got derailed a bit in the privacy aspect. I think Proton mail has pretty good privacy(good enough for me). I don’t think they will get a court order to release my emails any time soon. It’s good to know they offer some protection against mass surveillance and don’t sell your data for marketing.

That’s a good tip, I already used that for invoices and order updates on my work mail. But I could also do that for my personal mail.

In the Netherlands we don’t have this kind of thing. I don’t know at what age you have a science fair? At age 4-12 you don’t really have stuff you don’t really have homework, except if you’re lagging behind with your work. So all activities will be done at the school, sometimes they ask a parent to help with extracurricular activities. We don’t really have a science fair. Closest thing would be a “spreekbeurt” which would translate as oral presentation. You pick a topic you like and explain what it’s about. I think many parents help with the preparation for that. But you would have trouble answering the questions if your parents did everything.

At age 12-17 you get more beta courses, chemistry, physics, geography. You can pick a track that best suits your interests/aptitude. They focus on economics, social studies and art, nature and health or nature and technology. You get advanced courses that fit that track and more entry level courses for the rest. In your last year you have to write a paper with some field research on a topic that fits your track. Still not really like a science fair though.
