I’ve heard of things like iPostal and Traveling Mailbox. Do these services allow you to register with bank, DMV, IRS, Voting, etc? How do they work? Would a normal P.O box using its physical address from USPS work? I’ve tried researching it and haven’t gotten clear answers....
Tinkering is all fun and games, until it’s 4 am, your vision is blurry, and thinking straight becomes a non-option, or perhaps you just get overly confident, type something and press enter before considering the consequences of the command you’re about to execute… And then all you have is a kernel panic and one thought...
I guarantee you’ve never heard of it because it only appears in a series of novels by Steve Perry, the Matador books.

The original trilogy of books:
The Man Who Never Missed
Matadora
The Machiavelli Interface
I used to sell books back in the day in a super hippie crunchy counter culture town.

But he was making an effort, he had on a suit and tie that was maybe 20 years out of date. A GoodWill find probably.
“Hey man, is there a book that can help me fix a hole in my resume?”
“Well… it kinda depends on how big a hole you’re talking about and what you were doing…”
. . .
“I TOOK TEN YEARS OFF TO FOLLOW THE DEAD!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘”
“You know, in any OTHER town that could work against you… in THIS town… you could put that ON your resume and have people go ‘DUDE! WHAT SHOWS DID YOU SEE???’”
