I think Wikipedia has it wrong actually after reading more closely. It’s not a way to solve the year 10,000 problem, as in a date formatting issue akin to Y2K, as Wikipedia suggests. Instead it’s to get you thinking of the long term future.

I pay for both, use them for different things, but to be clear, fastmail does not have the encryption features that ProtonMail does. Not a direct replacement if you’re interested in the privacy aspects.

I’ve used the iPhone app daily for almost 10 years at this point and it is reliable for me. What problems do you have?

Woah! I love Neptune’s Pride, thanks for the game! While in college, I stayed at a hacker house airbnb over the summer with a bunch of newly befriended tech friends, and I got us all playing. I have fond memories of changing the trajectorie

Since you said you don’t know much about licenses, I suggest you check out https://writefreesoftware.org/learn/copyleft AGPL is a copyleft license, MIT is not. There’s good reasons for a developer to prefer copyleft.

I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ to run Steam Link to stream games from my desktop computer upstairs to the TV in the living room. I managed to connect some XBox series controllers to it using Bluetooth by installing xpadneo drivers.

Totally off topic, but I just got two Xbox Series Controllers working over Bluetooth flawlessly, connected to a Raspberry Pi, using xpadneo driver. Can highly recommend that driver.

I think those two are the most reputable VPNs. I’ve used ProtonVPN for years just since I wasn’t aware of Mullvad at the time and can’t be bothered to switch. I believe ProtonVPN hasn’t had infrastructure audits, which Mullvad has had.
