I’m Hunter Perrin. I’m a software engineer.

I wrote an email service: port87.com

hperrin,

So first, I’m not really looking to change operating systems. I’ve got my system set up the way I like it, where it closely matches the production systems I run for my company.

Second, why do you say the answer is Proxmox? What benefit does that have over other solutions that can be more easily integrated into my existing operating system?

hperrin,

Cockpit looks interesting. It’s got a lot of features I normally do with terminal commands, but the VM manager stuff looks like what I’m looking for.

There used to be one called Turntable.fm, but it shut down a while ago. Not a playlist, but like a live DJ thing. Maybe there’s something like that around.

hperrin,

Beer can in an English accent is bacon in a Jamaican accent.

hperrin,

If you’re not a fan of your current email provider, I’ve created one that automatically organizes your email and helps prevent spam and phishing:

port87.com

hperrin,

Check out port87.com

It’s similar. I made it to solve my spam problem, but it’s also really good for staying organized. When you sign up for something, you can use yourname-whatever@port87.com, then if you don’t want it anymore, you can block that address. Each address has its own label in your account, and blocking the address is just one click.

How Many Streaming Services Do You Have?

I remember when it was just Hulu for $5 and Netflix for $8. Saved $50 a month from cable. Now it seems we spend more. I have four. Max, Peacock, Paramount and Hulu. Prime doesn’t count because it sucks balls. (Only paying Netflix when next Stranger Things and Squid Game is released). Curious to see what the average...

hperrin, (edited )

I’ve gotten it down to just Hulu, Nebula, and Dropout. Everything else from everywhere else I pirate. I’m getting rid of Hulu next.

I also technically have Prime Video, but that’s because they force me to have it, even though I just want Prime shipping.

It didn’t break his computer. In trying to fix it, he deleted his node_modules directory, and now he’s complaining that he has to run npm install and wait for it to finish.

So to be clear, it was his own action that caused him to have to reinstall everything.

If you want that, you’ll get fewer contributors, but just make that explicitly clear in your pull request template.

Personally, I would never contribute to a project where the maintainer demanded I transfer copyright ownership of my contributions. I also wouldn’t use a project that did that, and would advise other people to not use that project either.

hperrin,

Only if I also get a dodecahedral phone.

hperrin,

I’m really hoping my email service gains more traction. People are so accustomed to crappy email providers that the current providers don’t really innovate anymore. I think it will actually have a chance of catching on, because it’s such a different way of doing email.

Check it out: port87.com

hperrin,

Hopefully there is a solution to that problem right around the corner.

hperrin,

I think we’re a delicacy in that part of the world.

hperrin,

I’m using a Fractal Meshify 2. It’s big, but I highly recommend it. It can hold 11 HDDs. I’ve only got 6 in mine, and it’s quite roomy.

hperrin,

dOWOm, what’s this?

hperrin,

I haven’t had any issue with Bluetooth audio on Fedora.

hperrin,

Apple Maps is a good alternative if you have an iPhone. Apple may not be a whole lot better, but at least they aren’t an advertising company.

hperrin,

Gotta defederate from their instances before they turn this whole place into a nazi bar.

hperrin,

If you build it, they will come.

I use Brave to test whether my websites work on Chromium browsers, but their scummy actions lately make me want to find a new Chromium browser to test with. What's the best Chromium based browser?

I already use Firefox for browsing normally, but I have to test on a Chromium based browser too. One soft requirement is that it should be installable with Flatpak on Linux.

hperrin, (edited )

I haven’t tried Vivaldi. Is it available on Linux?

Edit: Looks like they do with both .deb and .rpm packages. They’re not on Flatpak, but the rpm would work for me on Fedora.

hperrin,

Iron Man?

hperrin,

Yes.

Gamers who have gamed for a long time

do you find it difficult to get into games? I’ve got Epic Games and Steam Games libraries chock-full of classic top-tier games along with many other newer games like Stray or 2077, and a bunch of indie titles. I just can’t be bothered to download and install them, much less try to get into the characters and storylines. Used...

hperrin,

As I’ve gotten older and more busy, it’s been harder to get into games. I can’t play 4 hours a day any more, so the game has to fit into my schedule. Plus a lot of games take like 60 hours now. I liked Stray a lot because it was fun and I beat it in like 3 hours.

So yeah, I feel pretty much the same.

hperrin,

Reminds me of Toolip on SMUI. My wife said I shouldn’t fix it, because she liked it.
