I won't be clicking on that first link because I'm on a work machine but is that _Limewire_?

I didn't make this, but came across it and though it felt like the kind of thing HN would appreciate

As a Proton user - the main trade-off for me is that you are forced to use their apps on mobile, and those apps are pretty barebones and (on iOS at least) have none of the bells an…

My solar install took about 4.5 years to break even, which I understand is maybe a bit below average for where I live (Ireland).
