Found memories of my AC: New Horizons island.

Pretty much the same here. the storage to quality ratio isn’t a big enough difference to make it worth it to me for anything over 1080. 720p is noticable but I’ll still use it no problem.

Damn, also would break ublock I assume?

Torrents yes, always VPN. If you’re doing the debrid route, not required but personally I still do.

I am a big fan of mullvad VPN as they take no info from you to create an account. Can pay with crypto. No name, email or anything tied to their service. Used proton, nord and pia in the past.

As a fellow jenkins miner. I know this red (x) all too well.

I ran into that when I worked at a university…

Yes.

I’m gonna be honest. I never have done that till today. Wow… So much easier. Incredible.

Exactly what I do… I keep thinking it’s too good to last. I still download things if I know I’m going to rewatch them a lot.

I unironically did for production apps (some of which that are still running). The last thing I did with JS was vanilla. I’m a simple person.

Never used brave, I think DDG is actually a pretty decent search engine overall. I use it as my backup to searxng and used it primarily for years now before switching to searxng.

Google results work fine for me on my home instance:

If it works for you… I agree with the general sentiment of “if its free you are the product”. However, I see kagi come up so often around here that I feel like it’s some astro turfing. I tried it and was not impressed. SearXNG is by far the best search engine I’ve used in a long time and the best part is I am hosting it locally on my PC, traffic is going out a VPN. You get the privacy and the best results possible since its a meta engine using many different engines.

I totally get it. When I travel I take caffeine gum. So I don’t have to worry about finding coffee or resort to a energy drink. Instant coffee I drink instead of soda at home. Lol.

I may be biased but Lemmytools. ;)

Got two. Not doing anymore. Ive had up to 4 or 5 and still couldn’t find what I wanted.

Yup, I’m using transmission in a docker container that ensures my VPN is always connected. Nice to not have to worry about that.
