You have some makers like Turris and GL.iNet that ship their devices with some customised flavor of OpenWRT. I just wander through OpenWRT's table of hardware, looking what devices fulfill my needs and are available in my country. In t

That's before installing OpenWRT! This kind of shenanigans make (once again) the case for 3rd party post market FLOSS firmware to be installed on every device I own. Sure, I spend some extra time researching which router/AP/p

Sorry for the whataboutism, but what about european forests? Are we seeing them recovering any soon or we shouldn't care because it happened hundreds of years ago?

Have you given Minetest (AFAIK the biggest Minecraft FLOSS clone) a try? Maybe your kids like it and you can stop hassling around with Microsoft's shenanigans.

On Firefox for Android I can't even read half of the paragraphs. As they should been rendering, I arrive to other part of the landing page. It's a pity it has this awful promo site.

Well, I meant cut them in a "LOL, no more pensions for you, starve to death or something". But you're right, the use-the-LELIQs-to-increase-retirements plan is marching as intended.

IANAE, but I'll say it's mostly seigniorage to fill up for the fiscal deficit. And if you try to cut the money printer (without taking some.huge debt), you have to squash the deficit, which is mostly subsidies to electricity, gas

I own a Kobo H2O since 2017, I could never bypass the asking for an account on the first run. This includes the time I had to change the internal microSD for a new one flashed with an image from the mobileread forums. Frankly, I don't

In my case, it's always a virus in my graphics card. Guess I'll have to use a TTY only, and stdout to a dot matrix printer.

What are the use cases of generating different kind of noises (e.g. white, blue and red)? I've only heard about them as background noises to fall asleep or focus while working/studying. Is there something ininformation or signal t

I used speeddials for some years, then some other obscure addons and local html files. A few years ago, via G-Hacks, I found Humble New Tab Page[0], and it's been love at first sight. It has some little quirks if you are clumsy as I am

Have you looked at the reccomended routine in the /r/bodyweightfitness subreddit? I'm still using the old one (pre-2018 I think) because the newer one requires some equipment.
