A lot of companies use Google mail anyways so your emails will be scanned regardless.

A series are great, much cheaper especially used, and have better materials (like plastic instead of glass backs), while having essentially the same hardware performance.

I would go with .com for simplicity, sometimes other TLDs will be blocked by spam or DNS filters in my experience.

802.11ac will hit 600-800Mbps easily, and those APs are dirt cheap since it’s old tech.

As an end user it feels bloated and slow, the apps are all over the place and it still doesn’t have voice rooms like discord does.

Also abandoned channels seem to be a huge issue, many of the channels I’m in are on like the 10th version or more and keep creating new ones for some reason, losing the history of the old ones.

The idea is really cool, and it mostly works, it just needs a ton of refinement.

Cloudflare turnstile is also the only captcha system that works ok with most browsers and adblockers.

Especially Google recaptcha freaks out if you use Firefox or an adblocker or anything and asks you the hardest possible questions.

5TB for $10/mo is very cheap, I don’t know of anywhere else that comes close right now. Hetzner storage box is $13/mo for 5TB so that’s probably the closest thing.

If you’re using under 2TB then their E2 service or Backblaze B2 might be good options, but you have to manage your own backup software.

Are you talking about iDrive E2 maybe? OP is talking about iDrive backup itself.

$10/mo for 5TB is pretty much the cheapest option there is right now.

It’s a bunch of self hosted home services on a raspberry pi…

Adguard Home supports TLS, HTTPs, QUIC and other stuff natively, in case anyone reading wants to set up a pihole equivalent with less work for encrypted DNS.

I’m not sure having a rate limit on signups means anything for what kind of users they’re looking for. The site was actually down last night probably from the sheer amount of traffic hitting it.

But otherwise yeah I agree, BF:BC2 and BF3 were great, BF4 was ok but I never liked how the guns felt as much. I hope BF6 is essentially an update to those which the trailer does pretty much show so far.

Absolutely no reason to, you pay more for a buggier version. I generally wait until there’s a good sale.

Yeah sometimes, mostly I just like having a page where I can place things wherever I want, like tables, CSV files, PDFs, images, etc.

TBH I’m still using Onenote, I haven’t found a good replacement for it.

Have backups, follow the 3-2-1 rule.

All drives fail, at any time, and you will eventually lose data if you don’t have good backups in place.

Without a Pihole I guess some kind of packet inspection?

Just the browser dev tools is plenty to figure out everything going on.

Hit F12 for dev tools, go to the network tab and that will show all the network requests being made on that page. You can also use the inspect tool to click on a specific ad and see the code that initiated it.

It’s kind of funny to me that Discord was (at least initially) more receptive to this than Signal was, it’s also strange that signal uses cloudflare at all when their whole thing is privacy.

Gotcha, different use cases for sure haha
