If NetGuard makes you smile, have a look at ReThink. Fast/private DNS, firewall, logs, VPN (WireGuard) ready to go.

True, they are expensive, but that build quality and the availability of firmwares to do what you are looking for with just a quick flash makes them handy AF for keeping in a pocke…

I've had a NextCloud server and an IRC bouncer running on Oracle Cloud with static IP for two years now, free of charge. More than sufficient to host a site, even dynamic.

Unless a cop actually sees you doing a ridiculous speed they aren't going to check for P/W ratio or motor output Electric scooters are illegal in the UK, but police don't have time…

Oh leave GCHQ alone. When the 1337 h4x0rz get a copy of the decryption scheme we can all have lulz at their expense. To paraphrase a quote attributed to Napoleon; "Never interrupt …

One of the best reasons to pay after you eat is so you can question the bill in case of an unsatisfactory dish or service. Tipping is optional in many areas, and can depend on the …

I wonder what on earth these people are dreaming of when they try to stop one person promoting a book by making a move guaranteed to kick off the Streisand Effect and having the wh…

I use W3W as part of my address. When I get a food or parcel delivery and meet the person I point it out. Having been a delivery driver of varying types, a cab driver, and in other…

I wouldn't recommend this without reservations, but I passed my bike test at 40 and got a 1 litre adventure sport motorcycle. I'd ridden bikes in my youth and have been a professio…

This guy picked a fight, noticed he's losing, then goes running to the people who are collateral damage in his silly power game? Man up and take your medicine. 'Don't be a dick'. H…

When I saw 'Daily Mail' and sex act I assumed par for the course. Was nice to read about putting lights on things to break up the silhouette.

This isn't a bad thing. Financially it's ruinous to buy disposables when you can pick up a simple cigar sized vape with rechargeable battery and replaceable coil/pod for the same p…

With motorcycles it's of incalculable benefit to be heard early on because we're rarely seen until the crash.

I've just checked, and the warrant canary is back up with promises that they've not been coerced.

Ali and eBay have been at this for years. I've got a X to sell for £100. I can also sell Y, which costs £50. I'll advertise with the main selling price of Y and the main picture/de…

'Scare quotes' is not the only use of the double quote. In this case it seems that the author is pointing out that the incumbents do not in fact have any inferred or conferred owne…

Indicators. Little flashing orange/yellow lights that give other road users a hint of what the driver intends. If the light closest to you on the car you're looking at is on, they'…

I'm a professional driver and have been since the 90s. The day will one day come where the shitty proprietary map providers that pay auto manufacturers to foist them on us get oust…

https://onlykey.io/ Three PINs. One gives stored records (including auto-typing) and 2FA. One gives a second bank of records et al. The third is a duress key which wipes the device…

Like a lot of people, I got fed up of the tech calls from relatives. I put mother on Mint years ago. An old Toshiba laptop which she uses to read papers and play mahjongg. It ended…

Does Zippo predate that? I think Leatherman have a similar warranty to Zippo, and they've been around a while, too.

As a driver of large vehicles it would be nice if this was integrated into GOOG maps. TomTom and other do a restricted roads SatNav, isn't it about tine GOOG did this?

Why not do the best job you can all the time? I'm sure there are food outlets in your area who would like to hire wait staff with a will to succeed regardless of the customer's att…

If it were taught to the young, as it was when I was a youth, it should become a behaviour aped (consciously or otherwise) by peers. Putting a token barrier up in city centres woul…

Is nobody going to say that a lack of education for pedestrians would contribute to this? As a professional driver for decades I see more people stepping onto the black death strip…
