It is endlessly entertaining to me that we get such frequent "Help I'm locked out of my Google account" posts, while Google aggressively tries to sign in users. They've somehow got a problem on both ends of the spectru

Might be time to look up Center of Gravity then. Most of the time, it doesn't make a massive difference. However, in some rare or extreme circumstances (like literally half the aircraft being empty), loading can come in to play. This a

Yet another alternative (to those already mentioned) is to run PiHole at home and Wireguard. This way you have one place to add domains, it works across all apps and browsers, and even away from home.

That just makes it essentially the same as using HTTPS in 2012 or so. It may draw attention briefly, but then you get to have a conversation that might go something like: "We ought to put this guy on a list for using encryption (HTTPS,
