A list of free email provider domains. Some of these are probably not around anymore. I've combined a dozen lists from around the web. Current "major providers" should all be in here as of the date this is created.

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

The Freenode resignation FAQ, or: "what the fuck is going on?"

IMPORTANT NOTE:

It's come to my attention that some people have been spamming issue trackers with a link to this gist. While it's a good idea to inform people of the situation in principle, please do not do this. By all means spread the word in the communities that you are a part of, after verifying that they are not aware yet, but unsolicited spam is not helpful. It will just frustrate people.

How to automount an external vhdx file in WSL2
1. Ubuntu WSL2 must be already installed in C: system drive and user should be able to call windows binaries like wsl.exe from bash.
2. We will install Alpine WSL2 distro in an external partition/disk:
Download Alpine from here:
https://github.com/yuk7/AlpineWSL/releases/download/3.11.5-1/Alpine.zip
Extract the files in an external partition/disk. (for example D:\Alpine)
Make sure WSL2 is enabled by default (wsl.exe --set-default-version 2)
Inside the Alpine folder run Alpine.exe to install the Distro. An ext4.vhdx file will be created in that same folder.
