Streaming

The Day After: From Phone Numbers to Email Yesterday I solved my phone number privacy problem with a 1.5 euro disposable SIM card. Today? Time to tackle the email situation. Remember when I mentioned I’d “probably just create a new Proton Mail account” because I’d used up all my aliases? Well, today’s that day. And I decided to do it live on stream. Because apparently, I like making things interesting. Black Friday Timing: Accidentally Perfect Here’s the thing - I already have a ProtonMail account. I use it for other purposes. But for my personal site (zoltantoma.com), I need something separate. Something clean. Something that won’t mix my personal correspondence with professional inquiries. ...

The Sunday Evening Reality Check It’s Sunday evening, 10 PM. I should be in bed, browsing for some sci-fi show to watch until my partner comes over to watch something else. Instead, I’m here trying to write a blog post about a 1.5 euro security solution. Yesterday I made a bunch of test streams - didn’t save them, wasn’t planning to. Today I did my first real stream. Didn’t overthink it. Just sat down, documented yesterday’s work on the 10-hour OBS setup, then tried to write an integration test for the vagrant-wsl2-provider. ...

The provider uses wsl --install --distribution <name> to download and install distributions directly from the Windows Store. But there are 22 distributions available, and I’d only tested Ubuntu-24.04. Time to find out what works and what doesn’t. Building the Test The goal was simple: iterate through every distribution from wsl -l -o, try to create a Vagrant environment with it, and document what fails. ...

I Just Wanted to Show My Work I’ve been working on the [vagrant-wsl2-provider]https://github.com/LeeShan87/vagrant-wsl2-provider) for a while now, and I wanted to start showing what I’ve achieved with it. Maybe make some videos about it. But here’s the thing - I’m not confident showing my face on camera anymore. And I haven’t made any videos in years. So I was thinking… what if I just stream instead? I used to have a stream a while ago, but I was just playing games on it. It was like the only thing I was able to do after a long day. This time would be different - I’d stream actual development work. ...
