    The way my email works, there is no inbox. Everything goes into its own label. So everything from GitHub is in the “github” label, everything from Home Depot is in the “homedepot” label. Home Depot’s label is set to mark everything as read and not send me notifications, because unless I’m looking for something in particular, I don’t care about their emails. And it doesn’t matter if they change their sender address, cause it’s the address I gave them (hperrin-homedepot@port87.com) that has the label.

    This also means there’s no context switching when I’m reading my emails, cause I read everything from one sender all at once. So all my Chase emails about all my credit card transactions aren’t mixed in with all my Steam notifications about what’s on sale and all the emails from my bike club, etc.

    You can email my “bare” address, hperrin@port87.com, but it won’t go to me. It’ll auto respond to you with a list of my public labels and tell you to email the right one.







  • I’d love to play games like Fortnight, PUBG, and League of Legends (I know, don’t judge me), but they don’t work on Linux, so they’re just a no-go for me. I used to play GTA V Online, but they added kernel anticheat to that too, and now I don’t play that anymore.

    I have Windows, but I’m not booting into another partition just to play a game. I use it for compiling my software for Windows users, and that’s already too much of a pain in the ass. I cannot stand Windows. It’s a bloated mess, and I don’t understand how anyone gets any actual work done on it. Just navigating it feels like a chore.
