    It’s literally what you experience in your life. I’d say I value my life a lot, in the end it’s all I actually own. On the other hand, others value my attention because they can ma…

    If you have anything even remotely important tied to your email address… then at least get your own domain name associated with it. It’s not a 100% guarantee that things won’t go w…

    Thanks for sharing this! What a treat of a video. It's a fun project, and it's presented very well. This guy has a talent for communication - the video was super clear and well exp…

    To me, the killer feature has been the ability to filter out sites from my search results. I removed all of Pinterest, several tabloids and conspiracy sites, any obvious AI-generat…

    Getting rid of most social media has been one of the best things I have ever done. I didn’t just delete my accounts, I also blocked the sites so I can’t visit them. The best one to…

    As a broke college student, I had a great time playing on third-party servers. The experience was janky, of course, but it was hilarious. I made some good friends there. Then I had…

    Then just keep doing things the same way, but add a disclaimer that says you are only selling a license to play the game, and it's not guaranteed to work after a certain date.

    I sync my devices to my Synology NAS at home, and then the NAS syncs them to Backblaze B2. I have some extra workflows to back up some other data, like some WebDAV shares, based on…

    I’ve been gaming on Linux for quite a while, and it’s overall been a great experience. I mean, at least until last week, when I bought myself a new top-of-the-line laptop. I’ve bee…

    Definitely my favorite phone ever was the Lumia 1020. I loved the OS, and I loved the phone itself with its focus on the camera. Sadly, I was able to get it in 2015 and by then it …

    Hah, about a month ago I wrote a DLX solver for exact cover problems and LiQueens was one of my first implementations. Next I want to try to solve the Tango and Zip games.

    Absolutely off-topic, but I started browsing Snopes’ tracking consent options and they use an insane amount of vendors. It took me longer to scroll through the list than reading th…

    With all the recent developments in the US, I started doomscrolling reddit about a month ago. It’s clearly affected me emotionally. Yesterday, I blocked it completely at home and p…

    The next time I buy a TV, I'm building a Faraday cage around it.

    They do talk about it in the end, briefly. Otherwise, it almost sounds like a sponsored article.

    Something similar happened to me last year, except the thief was in a motorbike. It made me decide to buy a second, cheaper phone for traveling abroad. I did have some fun with the…

    Always good to do some research before you buy though. My current laptop, a 2024 Razer Blade 13 with an AMD processor, has a weird bug where the internal speakers won’t make a soun…

    TBH, this is something that scares me about Teslas. Most people can’t handle a car that accelerates that fast. Granted, I know they have safety features that prevent you from runni…

    Ah, I remember Chime from back in my Amazon days. When they launched it and started migrating it internally, they didn’t have a Linux or web version. Back then, I was still using a…

    Interesting… that’s been happening to me but because I’ve been playing a lot with my guitar tuned half-step down. I hear a note that I associate with a chord in my guitar, and I ha…

    TBH, right now that just feels like rewarding YouTube’s bad ad behavior. I’d rather just pay the creators via Patreon.
