Thanks for the recommendation, I checked out the book (I had never heard of it) and it does sound interesting, by chance have you listened to the audiobook? It’s read by Wesley and I haven’t listened to any audiobooks read by him. ( https:&

Yeah, living in Victoria (Australia) I’d love to push to scrap DST but I also know how incredibly useless Australian politicians are and that it’s just go nowhere and only end up wasting money.

$39AUD for the mobile app with no free / demo version is more than a little steep IMO.

I agree with @gurumeditations who made a comment about how much padding / fluff articles tend to have in them and that for the majority of online articles it's more of an annoyance than anything that adds to the content. Personall

Perhaps, I’m 30 if that helps. In _this_ context it sounded very derogatory, as if they had nothing better to do and were just doing something likely useless or some such.

Bit harsh wording wise, but yeah I totally agree that’s a rough description of a community that made something neat.

It’s obvious for some people (perhaps the OP, yourself and myself for example) it’s not obvious or obvious that it’s even an option to the majority of people. I personally try to advocate for good privacy education at places of work, study

Absolutely agree, ideally we’d all be using DNS-over-TLS, however I think but DoH(S) is a ‘good enough’ alternative /if/ you trust the company running the servers. Google I have essentially no trust in at all anymore (or maybe eve

Please try to be polite and stay away from nasty comments (especially when you’re not providing evidence based arguments).

I’m almost certain it is, even in the link you posted they use unversed language to state they DO store not just your information but also your personally identifiable (!) information: > “Google Public DNS does not PERMANENTLY store pers

‘Windows 7’... doesn’t mean much to be honest, if that OS didn’t corrupt its filesystem it’d crap out on its poor kernel or registry design and regardless why would you run a presumably important routing system on the same hardware you thou

Sounds like you had some unrelated hardware issues TBH. I always run either decent quality fanless i3 or quad core celerons (yes I know, friends don’t let friends buy celerons but some recent models have been good bang for buck) for low imp

A great resource for an excellently flexible and rock-solid reliable platform. Have been running pfsense and pfsense clusters for many, many years and had practically nothing but ultra-reliable success stories.

I came to the comments to suggest something very similar actually, either from Facebook or Microsoft. That is a great article (The Submarine) and is one of the sources I was considering linking to as well.

OK, interesting point and taken on board, I've updated my comment to be more sensitive to the point you've raised, thank you for your feedback.

Am I the only one that gets annoyed by the use of 'PIN Number' which is 'Personal Identification Number Number'? It annoys the !@#%$ out of me!

Although young, I've found this a real problem. Many places have terrible acoustics and I totally disagree that making them better (maybe not great) is expensive - there's many simple things you can do to make a huge difference. W

Yeah I’m seeing Qualcomm ad spam / competitor FUS pop up everywhere, google, RSS feeds off a few blogs I follow, twitter and any android fan / toolchain site.

Seconded. YouTube while it may contain a lot of video of content is really actually pretty poor product IMO. Lots of buffering, lots of ads, the apps have terrible UX as does the website and now that google is becoming less and less trustfu
