Xbox can be a pretty good alternative as well. Though unfortunately requires a Microsoft account.

I still use the iPhone earbuds I got with my iPhone 5S (the ones that come with the Lighting-to-3.5mm adapter). That said, it only takes one mishap for them to be irreversibly wrecked.

Yeah, I got the Xbox for Halo 2, but Fable was an absolute top highlight as well. Those two games and Morrowind made up the vast vast majority of my hours on that console. Great times :)

What's absurd to me is that Cloudflare gains more and more control over the internet, by people voluntarily submitting to its domination. My favorite is trying to go someone's random blog with like 5 posts (because they have a sin

No prob - and thanks! Looks like I found it right as you were drafting this message. It would be really useful to add some call to action about "Help grow the Tor network!" anywhere on the home page. Partly just to increase the

I think if the Tor Project wants to boost their network they might try putting anything about how to do so on their website, easily-accessible. I'm trying to figure out how to run a relay and having a pretty challenging time finding a

Yes, for sure, I feel the same way. It surprises me how many people inject a dependency on stuff like Cloudflare or similar for their local network/services!

Yup, if the dissemination of advice is gated behind passing some judgement test of purity, that's just gatekeeping and a toxic attitude. Just share the knowledge (or other worthwhile discussion points) or scroll past. "If you do

I got these little fabric covers ("VR cover") for my HMD so the cleanliness aspect is a bit better managed. A couple people can use the first one and then I can swap it to a new, clean one, etc.

I seriously wish I could just use my iPhone 3GS still. I mean, maybe with a slightly newer iOS than it supported, but otherwise, for me that was the perfect form factor, and it was such a "focused" product back then.

I spend hours on a ThinkPad X230 i5-3320m every day, on OpenBSD, with multithreading disabled (so it's lowered down to 2 cores). Take your gatekeeping elsewhere.
