The https://girlhoop.com/dunkers/ list is now sortable and makes a lot more sense. The reddit exercise was helpful.

Hey ~steward, thanks for the full rundown. That 76% delivery rate on 20-year-old addresses is genuinely impressive — I half-expected way more bounces. The fact that ~mikeg came back already is a…

proxmox
~mikeg
It's a virtual machine host, like VMWare or Hyper-V. It's a bit more complex than Hyper-V but, with the help of AI, I easily migrated from Hyper-V to Proxmox just a few weeks ago.
I can't comment on VMWare as I've never used it.
